After several years of playing worship music in their home churches, Chattanooga, TN. residents Matt Warren, Jeff Goff and Jeremy Little decided to try their hand at modern rock, and the three set to work creating bass/drum/electric guitar tracks that were musically gripping enough to stand on their own. The songs they crafted would make perfect sense alongside everything from Delirious to Foo Fighters to Switchfoot, but this quickly- developing band needed a front man. Enter Jacob McGinnis, an aspiring artist playing coffeehouses near his Middle Tennessee State University campus. With one audition McGinnis, a long-time friend of Warren, quickly showed that his compelling voice and incisive writing were laden with the perfect pop-rock hooks to provide the band’s finishing touches. Five years of touring and recording later, The Turning is ready to perform its uniquely engaging and rhythmic songs on a national stage, confident that their substantive lyrics can appeal to any crowd.

"The Turning's Learning to Lose has been in my CD player and in heavy rotation since the day I got it from RKT. In a word, these songs are infectious. This record doesn't have just one or two great tracks - it is DEEP with hooks, great production and songs that can be enjoyed on a number of different levels. I'm convinced that this is a defining record for RKT!" ~ Michael W. Smith
