Jonathan McReynolds Gets Personal on New Live Album ‘Closer’
(Nashville, TN) – March 27, 2026 – GRAMMY, Dove, & Stellar Award-winning gospel singer/songwriter, Jonathan McReynolds releases a brand new album today, Closer (Live in Chicago). Recorded live in his hometown of Chicago, the 13-track project captures the raw emotion, spiritual depth, and musical innovation that have made McReynolds one of the most trusted voices in inspirational music. Closer (Live in Chicago) is available now wherever music is sold and streamed.
Closer is Jonathan McReynolds’ most personal and spiritually centered project to date. A deeply personal body of work, CLOSER serves as an honest reflection of McReynolds’ spiritual journey—an invitation for listeners to pursue a deeper relationship with God. It is an honest journey of pursuing God and getting closer to Him. The album echoes the beloved sincerity of Make Room while ushering in a bold new era of sound.
