Ohio Christian Rock Artist Suzanne Dearth Announces Highly Anticipated Debut Album "Surrender" - A Groundbreaking Fusion of Classic Rock and Faith-Based Ministry

Female Christian Songwriter Combines Old-Time Rock and Roll with Charitable Mission to Transform Church Fundraising Events Across Ohio



OHIO - July 13, 2025 - Suzanne's Music LLC proudly announces the upcoming release of "Surrender," the debut album from acclaimed Christian rock artist and songwriter Suzanne Dearth. Set for release before the end of 2025, this groundbreaking record represents a unique fusion of old-time rock and roll with classic rock elements, delivered through the lens of authentic Christian faith and charitable service.

Suzanne Dearth, the visionary behind Suzanne's Music Collective, has carved out a distinctive niche in the Christian music landscape by combining musical excellence with meaningful charitable impact. Her state-of-the-art band delivers unforgettable performances that have become legendary among Ohio's faith communities, particularly for their ability to transform church fundraising events into powerful, revenue-generating experiences.


A Revolutionary Approach to Christian Rock Music


"Surrender" showcases Dearth's extraordinary ability to blend the raw energy of classic rock with the spiritual depth of contemporary Christian music. Drawing inspiration from legendary artists like Carly Simon, Annie Herring, Carole King and Kathryn Scott, while maintaining the driving force of

old-time rock and roll, the album creates a sound that speaks to both artistic souls and spiritual hearts.

"We believe you shouldn't have to choose between musical excellence and meaningful faith exploration," explains Dearth. "Through authentic songwriting combined with honest spiritual themes, we're building community around music that matters. Whether you're

solid in your faith or questioning everything, you'll find a welcoming place in our musical community."


Transforming Church Events and Charity Fundraising


What sets Suzanne Dearth apart in the Christian music industry is her innovative approach to charitable giving and church event entertainment. Her mission extends far beyond traditional performance - she's revolutionizing how churches approach fundraising through high-energy, professionally executed musical experiences that consistently exceed revenue expectations.

Churches across Ohio have discovered that booking Suzanne's Music Collective for their charity events results in significantly higher attendance, increased donor engagement, and substantially improved fundraising outcomes. Her performances create an atmosphere where generosity flows naturally, combining the excitement of professional rock entertainment with the spiritual motivation of faith-based giving.

Recent industry reports indicate that Christian rock album releases in 2025 are outpacing previous years, with female Christian songwriters leading much of this innovative musical movement.

Dearth's approach addresses a significant gap in the market - the need for high-quality Christian rock music that serves dual purposes of entertainment and charitable fundraising. Her unique model has proven that faith-based music can be both artistically excellent and socially impactful.


Building Community Through Music and Service


"Our mission is simple: to serve people hungry for music that addresses life's deeper questions without judgment or pretense," states Dearth. "We're not just performing; we're creating experiences that bring communities together while supporting causes that matter."

This philosophy has made Suzanne's Music Collective the preferred choice for corporate events, live performances, wedding music, and particularly charity fundraisers and galas. Their ability to adapt their high-energy rock sound to various event types while maintaining their charitable focus has established them as leaders in the faith-based entertainment industry.


Critical Acclaim and Community Impact


Early responses to preview tracks from "Surrender" have generated significant excitement within both the Christian music community and the broader rock music scene. Industry

professionals have praised Dearth's songwriting ability, vocal power, and the band's tight, professional sound.


The Future of Faith-Based Rock Entertainment
