An expert fusion of praise and worship numbers and gentle ballads.

  • We Say...

    Pleasant soft-rock worship act Watermark is here joined by a host of adult contemporary peers (including Point of Grace and Charlie Hall) on this live 2006 album, which marks the act’s farewell to the industry. The husband and wife duo Nathan and Christy Nockels revisit their four-album career and beyond to their roots in Sons And Daughters, in a final show at their home congregation in Brentwood, Tennessee, Fellowship Bible Church. There are praise and worship numbers and gentle ballads, though Watermark’s real talent is of course expertly fusing the two together.

  • They Say...

    Retiring CCM duo Watermark caps off their career with A Grateful People, a live album recorded at their farewell show. Recorded in front of a small audience at their hometown church in Brentwood, TN, this 65-minute set is an intimate overview of the career of husband-and-wife team of producer/guitarist Nathan Nockels and singer Christy Nockels, including guest appearances from friends like Chris Tomlin, Point of Grace, and Charlie Hall, with whom the Nockels had previously performed in the quartet Sons and Daughters. Having tended toward the more soft rock/adult contemporary side of contemporary Christian music for most of their career, there's little gospel-style intensity to this music, even on the audience participation tune "Take Me There," but the duo performs with verve and obvious enthusiasm throughout.
