Sound Street continues to make an impact in 2025 with their latest release, “I’m So Blessed.” The trio, made up of Jarrod Vanderslice, his daughter Jaylie Vanderslice, and family friend Ryan Bilby, has already seen success with their debut album, Good Seed, under Sonlite Records. Their music has maintained a presence on Southern Gospel airplay charts, and their momentum shows no signs of slowing.
Sound Street recently released their version of “I’m So Blessed,” a song originally recorded by the Christian group Cain. Producer Roger Talley helped shape this new rendition, adapting the song to fit within the Southern Gospel style. The track begins with an energetic guitar introduction that leads into Jaylie Vanderslice’s lead vocals and a chorus that carries a clear and uplifting message:
On my best day, I’m a child of God
On my worst day, I’m a child of God
Oh, every day is a good day
And You’re the reason why
I’m so blessed, I’m so blessed
Got this heartbeat in my chest
No, it doesn’t matter about the rest
If I’ve got You, Lord, I’m so blessed
The arrangement features strong harmonies and a spirited instrumental backing. A unique aspect of this version comes midway through the song when Jarrod and Jaylie’s 9-year-old daughter, Johanna, adds a special vocal moment. This unexpected feature brings a fresh element to the song and reinforces its message of faith and gratitude.
Sound Street has been active since 2020, gaining recognition in the Southern Gospel community. The group was chosen from the Regional Artist Showcase to perform on the Main Stage at the National Quartet Convention in 2021. They were also nominated for the Top 10 Favorite New Artist category in the 2022 Singing News Fan Awards. Their previous singles have received radio success, with “I’ll Take The Old Highway” reaching #34 on SGNScoops Magazine’s Top 100 and “The Old Story” debuting at #67 on Singing News’ chart in March 2022.
Performing more than 80 concerts each year, Sound Street continues to share their message of faith through music.
