Award-winning Curb Records recording artist We Are Messengers bows the biggest hooks of the band’s career with their fifth studio effort, Halfway Home.
Expansive arena rock abounds on Halfway Home. Across 13 tracks — all co-written by Irish-born frontman Darren Mulligan — We Are Messengers explores the tension between the now and the not yet. A study in contrast, the set grapples with life’s contradictions in light of our humanity. Bridging the gap between heaven and earth, the experimental, atmospheric collection boasts perceptive lyrics and driving melodies, primed for enthusiastic crowds and We Are Messengers’ dynamic live show.
“We’ve worked really hard on these songs and hope you enjoy them as much as we do. But more importantly,” Mulligan says, “we hope these songs can help bring you a little bit closer to Jesus than you were before.”
Last night (9/24), in support of the project, the group kicked off a fall run of headlining shows on the “Halfway Home Tour” in Nashville. With support from chart-topping singer-songwriter Andrew Ripp and newcomer Allison Eide, the 20-city outing is scheduled to conclude Nov. 8 in Pittsburgh. The trek continues tonight in Detroit. During a surprise plaque presentation, We Are Messengers also celebrated their #1 single “We Three Kings” as well as surpassing 1 billion global streams.
Additionally, We Are Messengers is nominated for two GMA Dove Awards ahead of the 2026 ceremony slated for Oct. 6 in Nashville. Their first full-length holiday endeavor, Rejoice! (A Celtic Christmas), is up for Christmas/Special Event Album of the Year; while their record-breaking No. 1 single from that project, “We Three Kings,” will vie for Christmas Recorded Song of the Year. The 57th annual GMA Dove Awards will air on Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) Friday, Oct. 9.
