The Experience with Fred Hammond hosted by Dedry Jones was totally a Hammond affair, a Glorified great time! Fred Hammond is a
Gospel music arbiter, consistently pushing the genre into to new melodic territory. The Detroit native ascended from bass-playing
sideman for The Winans; to founding member of the trendsetting sextet Commissioned; to creating the further renowned ensemble
Radical for Christ, to becoming a highly influential solo artist and producer in his own right.
Hammond has become almost as well known for his work as a Christian-music entrepreneur. He has worked on over 80 albums since
establishing his own production company, Face to Face, in 1992. He has also taken his music to thousands of fans by keeping up
a busy touring schedule and with his latest CD Love Unstoppable Hammond's seventh solo effort and fifth without the RFC troupe,
chronicles much of what people expect to hear from Hammond's work. Different from his previous chapters, he manages to find
solace with a new set of co-writing buddies (Calvin Rodgers, Phillip Feaster, Ericka Warren). The new bond gives him a fresh
update & renewed joy. Love Unstoppable is an enjoyable album that is certain to "wow!" longtime fans.
Fred Hammond has been honored by numerous awards such as Gospel Music Association Dove Award (with Commissioned), Contemporary
Gospel Album for Will You Be Ready?, 1990; Dove Award (with various artists), Inspirational Album for Generation 2 Generation,
1993; Dove Award (with various artists), Contemporary Gospel Album for Handel'sMessiah: A Soulful Celebration, 1993; Dove Award
