Melanie Penn Prepares Us for Easter with "Roll That Stone Away"

Melanie Penn releases her new single, "Roll That Stone Away." The song is the first release from The Rising: A Resurrection Album, a new project by Melanie Penn, set to release in 2025. 

The Rising is a collection of original songs that depict that period of time between Christ's burial and His ascension - all based on the Gospel writings. Each song is written from the first person perspective from someone who was actually there - Peter, Thomas, Mary Magdalene and others! This album will tour throughout its launch cycle in 2025.
