Perry LaHaie Unveils Heartfelt New Single: “Crashed Into Grace (Acoustic Version)”
Perry LaHaie, the acclaimed singer/songwriter and beloved morning drive-time radio host, has released a stripped-down acoustic version of his powerful 2023 single, “Crashed Into Grace.” LaHaie’s latest offering, recorded at Yackland Studio in East Nashville and produced by Stephen Leiweke (Jars of Clay, Chris Tomlin) and Jake DeJarnett, takes the song’s already emotional core and amplifies its raw, redemptive message through simple, yet striking instrumentation. Available today, Friday, September 20, 2024, the acoustic version promises to touch listeners around the globe with its honest storytelling and soulful arrangement.
“‘Crashed Into Grace’ is my autobiography,” says LaHaie. “It’s the story of an 18-year-old kid chasing earthly acclaim, trying to fill the wounds of shame with success—only to crash headlong into Jesus, who gave me what I never could have found on my own: Himself.” The song’s acoustic reimagining brings that personal journey of brokenness and redemption into even sharper focus. Leiweke adds, “Even without the full band, the song still delivers all the meaning, all the emotion—just Perry’s voice and a guitar are enough to capture the heart of it.”
LaHaie himself reflects on how the acoustic rendition channels his life’s experiences, stating, “The raw guitars, the B3 organ, the Bruce Hornsby-esque piano—it’s all the sounds and stories that have worked their way into my heart over a lifetime. Crashed Into Grace is a story of redemption that makes you feel like you’ve come home.” The acoustic version is now streaming on Spotify, Apple, Amazon, YouTube, and more.
