Talkin' TV Evangelist Blues (demo)

We are a Praise Band that orginated in Bloxom, Virginia, that plays Gospel, Blues, Contemporary, and Traditional Christian music. This band is a side job for each of us, but we consider it more of a hobby because we enjoy playing to people for the Lord. We buy all of our equipment with our own money, and donate offerings that we receive to different causes.
Band/artist history
We began in Spring 2005 as a small praise band that played songs for a VBS-style gathering that happened every Sunday at Bloxom Church called Faithweaver Friends. Eventually, we began to add other songs outside of the Faithweaver's music onto our repoirtoire, just as fun songs to play. After we were asked to play at a Hymn Sing at Bloxom UMC, we decided to become a real Gospel band and play at other venues. Although we still play at Faithweavers, which occurs every Sunday, we now play at concerts and hymn sings, and have booked a few churches to play on the ES in 2006 and are looking to book more. "Preacher Man" Joe Shoop, who has been the pastor for Guilford Charge for almost 7 years, started the band and is a great leader, although he would not want to be called leader. He has a great singing voice that can be heard anywhere. Also, he recently switched from acoustic to electric when he fixed up a 1960's stratocaster that Red had sitting in his shed. Joe's wife, Deborah, is a very talented singer who also plays piano and saxophone outside of the band. She adds a strong and lovely female voice to our music that we did not have when we began. Also, Misty ___, recently became a member of our band to add another female voice. Even though s is only 12, she is a great singer and can only get better as she gets older. "The Killer" Red Miller is THE best keyboard player on the Eastern Shore. He has been in bands that have opened for bands such as Blackfoot, .38 Special, Molly Hatchet, Steppenwolf, and many others. He writes much of his own music and in 2005 had a comedy tune played on 103.3 WESR called "Forrest's Love Song". He adds the bass for us on the keys in addition to regular keyboard when Matt is unavailable. (www.soundclick.com/redmiller) Philly "Pip" Simpson, who is 15 years old and plays left-handed, provides the electric guitar for the band with his blues-influenced style of improvisation. He also writes his own music and is the leader of another non-Christian rock/blues band called Fish Market Band. (www.soundclick/phillysimpson), (www.soundclick.com/fishmarketband) Matt Shoop, Joe and Debra's son, is currently in college at Virginia Tech. He has been playing bass for a few years and is part of the original praise band. He helps create the foundation for the music we make with his bass; and although he still plays with us, he is available only when he is not at college. He is currently at Virginia Tech. Joel "Wing" Simpson is the Soundman for A Wing & A Prayer. He has been an Aerospace Engineer for 25 years and is very knowledgeable in electrical technology.
