Music
What's the music like?
You just gotta hear it.
We strive for diversity, with our core songs being rock and blues-based. The band usually includes electric guitar, drums, bass, keys and several smashing vocalists. We write our own music, re-write popular tunes, revamp old hymns, and borrow from the segment of contemporary Christian music that we can stomach. We currently have 3 bands.

The newest Spirit Garage Band, Beautiful Grey mixes rich vocal harmony with driving drums and handy guitar work, proving that a 'wall of rock' can also be sacred music.
