•Satellites & Sirens


When Geoff Hunker moved to Nashville and started working with a producer, he knew it was time to form a band so off to Craigslist he went! Out of all of the responses, one musician (a drummer) really stood out both as a musician and as a friend. Even better, he had friends who played guitar and bass. The four clicked and Satellites & Sirens was born. The band signed with Word Records in 2009 and saw their full-length debut hit stores in 2010.

•The Fray


This Denver-based band formed in 2002 after former Faith Christian Academy schoolmates Isaac Slade and Joe King ran into each other at a music store. Jam sessions expanded into a full band and airplay on Denver's KTCL radio station helped garner attention from Sony/Epic Records who signed them in 2004.

Not marketed as a "Christian band," the members all feel like God called them to the secular arena to speak a language everyone (not just church members) can understand.

The Fray Members

  • Isaac Slade - vocals/piano
  • Ben Wysocki - drums
  • Joe King - guitar
  • Dave Welsh - guitar

•Third Day


When Mac Powell and Mark Lee started Third Day back in 1991 (Tai Anderson and David Carr joined in 93), they were right of out college and still holding down day jobs. They had a van, a dream and a passion for music. Chances are pretty good that they no had idea that Billboard magazine would eventually call them "not only one of the best Christian bands of the '90s but one of the best rock bands, period."

•Todd Agnew


Todd Agnew didn't set out to be a "rock star" when he saved up and booked time at Ardent studios. He just wanted to record some material that was different than what he had been doing in church, but God had other plans. Dana Key heard him and fell in love with his music and his voice because it demanded his attention. Four albums later Todd is still demanding attention and he's not a bit afraid to ask the tough questions or admit that he doesn't have all of the answers (but he knows the one who does!)
