An authentically great song withstands the test of time. A great song touches a generation and is rediscovered by the next generation, with an ongoing impact on culture. Ananias “Markey” Montague is a songwriter and musician with a catalog of Gospel songs described as timeless – timeless because of his poignant pen, his inventive creative process and the heavy anointing on him in that he is a man connected to God.
Ananias has composed original songs recorded and performed by Salem Baptist Church, The Gospel Music Workshop of America, and The Walter and Edwin Hawkins Seminar. His musical mastery has been sought after by the most notable David Foster, Richard Smallwood, Andrae’ Crouch, Ricky Dillard, Ted Winn, Lyle Lovett, and The Omaha Symphony.
His collection of work includes REMEMBER ME, SONGS FROM THE CROSS, Vol 1 (2018), and LIVE FROM THE STEELHOUSE OMAHA (2023). But his first album, FLIPPIN THE SCRIPT, was initially released in 2003 in compact disc format only before the surge of digital music platforms. Ananias and his group New Fellowship Ministries toured throughout the United States and extensively abroad throughout Europe, promoting the album.
“FLIPPIN THE SCRIPT was my first full-length album as an artist,” Ananias says. “Unfortunately, the music files were destroyed in a fire. But production engineer Kevin Kelley helped recover and remaster our files so that we could re-release these great church songs for those who never heard it.”
Through the advances in music technology and Kelley’s assistance, Ananias has re-released FLIPPIN THE SCRIPT REWIND, which is now available on all digital music outlets. The album includes thirteen original and timeless songs for choirs, worship teams, and Gospel enthusiasts who appreciate music executed with powerfully refined vocals and musicianship rooted in biblically based and inspiring lyrics.
Ananias and New Fellowship Ministries deliver stand-out tracks “I Made It” and “Changed Me” with spirited authority. FLIPPIN THE SCRIPT REWIND includes “Believe I’ll Testify” by celebrated songwriter Patrick Love.
FLIPPIN THE SCRIPT REWIND is released via Ananias Montague Music & Creative Live Sounds imprint. The album offers a musical flashback while Ananias prepares more great new music for release this year. You can find more and stay in touch with Ananias by visiting Amusac.com
