Howard Gripp Releases Powerful Duet With Erin Oakley, 'Everything In His Name'
Christian Contemporary/Rock artist Howard Gripp, known for his heartfelt songwriting and gritty, faith-centered performances, releases his new single, 'Everything In His Name', on Friday May 23rd. This powerful duet with Erin Oakley brings to life a testimony of transformation and a shared commitment to living a Christ-centered life.
The song recounts a deeply personal journey from despair and hopelessness to joy and purpose in Jesus. Through its heartfelt lyrics and the blending of two voices, the track emphasizes the beauty of loving, praying, forgiving, walking, and talking like Christ. The duet format adds a unique dynamic, symbolizing unity in faith and the encouragement we find in the body of Christ. The uplifting bridge celebrates the freedom and joy of salvation, making this anthem a stirring reminder to glorify God in all we do.
Based in Wisconsin, Howard spent years in the secular music scene before a life-changing encounter with Jesus led him to dedicate his gifts entirely to glorifying God.
In 2024, Howard released his debut EP, Rescued Redeemed Forgiven, recorded in Nashville. The EP quickly gained momentum, surpassing 210,000 streams on Spotify and earning multiple national awards, including Best Christian Album of the Year and Best Christian Song of the Year at the 2025 Rampage Music Awards. His official music video for Hello It's Me was honored with Music Video of the Year at X-Poze-Ing, Magic Silver Screen Films, and the Couch Film Festival.
Building on this success, Howard recently returned to Nashville to record his second EP, I Can Feel The Change, released in April 2025. His powerful new music and live performances have earned him a growing spot on major Christian festival lineups, including BratFest 2025 (opening for Danny Gokey), OneFest 2025, AgapeFest 2025 in Pennsylvania, Midwest Unity Fest, Summerfest, Praise In The Park, and OasisFest.
A finalist in four categories at the 2025 WAMI Awards, Howard continues to expand his ministry nationwide, leading audiences into moments of hope, worship, and transformation.
