Hometown: Hamilton, Ontario
Born out of a movement of diverse churches, uniting to serve the poor in the blue-collar steel town of Hamilton, ON, The City Harmonic formed in 2009, having led students in worship and mission at these interdenominational events. By 2011, the band had won three Gospel Music Canada Covenant Awards, including one for Modern Worship Song of the Year, for the anthem, “Manifesto,” a rallying cry for believers around the world. More Covenant Awards, a JUNO Award and a Dove Award nomination followed as the band released the critically acclaimed albums I Have A Dream (It Feels Like Home) and Heart, introducing the songs “Praise The Lord,” “Holy (Wedding Day),” “Mountaintop,” and “A City On A Hill,” to churches and radio stations. The City Harmonic is Elias Dummer, Eric Fusilier, Aaron Powell and Josh Vanderlaan… four worshipers from four small churches singing hymns and spiritual songs.
