During the formation of the band in March of 2005 it was decided that the influence would be a combination of many music backgrounds mixed into one unique sound. This blend has led to creating songs with a feel of rock, pop, country, blues and of course contemporary Christian vibes. Leading the way is the talent of songwriter Jeff LaFollette. Jeff's background and style have shaped a sound that can be compared to leading contemporary and rock Christian artists, but are certainly not identical.
The makeup of the band's members ranges in ages, which bring a generational mixture of influence.Originally a four piece, the band added another guitar and a female vocalist to bring broader dynamics to both the music and the lyrics. The songs tell stories of personal life histories both before and after giving their lives to God. The hope of this music ministry is to relate those stories to similar life events of the listeners to either edify their faith, or reach the hearts of those that have not yet built a relationship with the Savior.
For six months the band honed its lyrics and sounds before embarking on the first attempt to take it to the publics ears. The response was everything that was hoped for a new band. Inspired by this, the band recorded 4 demo tracks and met with Journey Records president Zane King. Although Mr. King's label is best recognized for Southern Gospel artists, he accepted the demo and offered to help with connections in the Christian music industry. Six months later the band received a call from producer Steve Allen of Square One Studios in Nashville, TN asking to hear more.
Steve Allen is best recognized for his producing and engineering work with several leading Gospel music notables. Steve also produced the hit from Bob Carlisle, Butterfly Kisses, a multi-million copy seller. After hearing the rough demos he contacted the band again with interest of bringing us into the studio to make a Rock/Pop Christian album. We obliged the offer, raised the needed funds and headed to Nashville to begin work on our dream after being together just more than a year. Leaning on the professionalism and guidance of the studio the bands sound was honed even more staying very close to its originality.
Our goal for this music ministry is to lift up the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in song and music and make him known by serving Him excellently in all we do, not just in our music, but also in our actions. His word tells us to "Be excellent at what is good and innocent of evil."-Romans 16:19- We believe that faith and integrity should be what sets Christians apart from the "world". We should be the standard bearers, the ones that raise the bar high. It is this type of ministry with which we wish to partner and promote.... |
