Husband & Wife Duo Alabaster Grace's New Single, 'Friendship,' Tapped as Theme Song for Upcoming Online Show, 'KIDS'
Husband and wife duo Alabaster Grace releases their new single, "Friendship," available on all streaming platforms now.
Brad Perry, a highly decorated former NASA rocket scientist, and his wife, Joanie Perry, a long-time educator-together known as Alabaster Grace-wrote the upbeat song with a country/pop style and a catchy chorus especially for their littlest listeners.
The duo was tapped by international speaker and children’s book author Jeff Patnaude to write and perform the theme song for his upcoming online children’s show, KiDS, in development with the Wingspan Foundation.
“The song, ‘Friendship,’ created by Joanie and Brad Perry, does what friends do for each other- it makes your insides GLOW. Thank you for your brilliant work and the love that comes from being friends with you.’” says Patnaude.
Created for children ages 4-11, KiDS teaches spiritual values and biblical parables through storytelling, puppets, animation, and original music. The show emphasizes the importance of kindness, sharing, learning and loving thy neighbor as thy self.
"We were asked to write a song for the show, which emphasizes the importance of friendship," says Brad Perry, Alabaster Grace's guitarist and arranger. "In writing 'Friendship,' we recalled the special friendships of our youth and how these friendships blessed us growing up and as adults.”
"This song feels like a 'full-circle moment' for me," says Joanie Perry, Alabaster Grace's lead vocalist and primary songwriter. "I was a public school music teacher and librarian for most of my career, and seeing children excel in their God-given gifts and talents has always been a passion of mine."
Alabaster Grace's new single follows on the heels of their recent performances as the featured guest artist at the 103rd Virginia State Gideons Convention in Harrisonburg, Virginia, where they shared songs from their new four-song EP, Our God is Faithful.
