Pilgrim

Pilgrim Records, founded in 1997 by producer and musician David McCormick, emerged as a notable independent label in the Christian music scene. Initially focusing on contemporary Christian music, Pilgrim gained recognition for its diverse roster, which included artists such as Jars of Clay and Sixpence None the Richer. The label's commitment to quality songwriting and production helped it carve a niche in the late 1990s and early 2000s, a period marked by the rise of alternative and folk-influenced Christian music. In addition to contemporary Christian, Pilgrim also explored genres like pop and rock, allowing for a varied catalog. While the label's prominence waned in the mid-2000s, its influence on the genre and its support for emerging artists contributed to the broader evolution of Christian music. Pilgrim Records is remembered for its artistic integrity and its role in shaping the sound of a generation within the Christian music landscape.
