Forgiven Blues Band
The actual name of our band is "Forgiven" but the name was taken, since I bleed blues, I took the name "Forgiven Blues Band" for this site. We are a Christian blues band taking the message of forgiveness to the "out of the way places" in Southern Illinois and Honduras. We often play prisons and the county jail.
Forgivess is not only a good thing, it is a necessary thing.
