Mark your calendars: March 18, 2007 is going to be a lot of fun.

One of my new favorite bands, West Coast Revival (aka WCR) is coming in concert to Sovereign Grace Church. I introduced you to the band about two months ago, and I’m thrilled to announce that WCR will be on-site to lead worship on Sunday morning, and then will be back that evening for a rockin’ concert.

Opening for WCR: the John Reilly Band and Voice.

The John Reilly Band is a pretty sweet flavor… their website describes them as having “…a rare and excellent blend of skillful artistry and sound theology. It is smoothly eclectic, weaving melodic guitars, violins, flute and vocals through a labyrinth of time signatures, moods and themes…” I’m not sure quite what that means, but I dig their sound. And wonderful lyrics, too. If you get their album, While I Was On Earth, listen especially to How Many Times, Mystery, This Day, and Anyplace. I really like their (brief) instrumental, Irish.

We know Voice as Curt Allen, our rapper friend from Covenant Life Church. You’re probably familiar with Voice’s album, Progression, and his recent release, Crucible. I know Curt a little bit personally and I’ve always been impressed with his love for the Savior, his passion for evangelism, and his desire to use his hip/hop skills to proclaim the gospel. Christian rap is rare, good Christian rap even more so.

CONCERT DETAILS:

• WHEN: March 18, 2007. 7pm.
• WHERE: You know where.
• WHO: US! And all our friends from the other area Sovereign Grace Ministries churches. AND: Bring your friends! Think of this as Each One Reach One set to music.
• HOW MUCH: $8 if you get your advance tickets in the lobby on Sundays, 2/11 and 2/18! After that, you can buy the tickets at the door for $10.

BONUS: stay tuned for a WCR/John Reilly/Voice playlist Saturday night.
