Sound Doctrine Band is a Christain rock band in Humboldt County, California.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
History: Sound Doctrine Band started in the spring of 2001 in Humboldt County. The first members were: Pastor Dino Cardelli: drums, Will Hardwick: bass-vocals, Dale Yonnes: lead guitar, Ken Tinkham: guitar and vocals. We wanted to have an outreach band to share the gospel through music. We started to play in parks, recovery BBQ's, biker rallys, and other events. Thanks to Dino for the band's name Sound Doctrine Band. As the band went on through the years the members of the band slowly changed. We are thankful for all those who have participated in the band to help it to continue on. You can see pictures of all those who have been in the band in the past (and the present) on our various sites on the internet. The current members are Bonnie Alves: keyboard-vocals, Cory Cook: drums-vocals, Mark Cole: bass-vocals, Mike Patchin: lead guitar, Ken Tinkham: guitar-vocals.
Vision: Our main vision is to tell people about Jesus. Our songs are geared toward those who do not know the gospel. Our main verse that backs our vision is John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believes in Him, will not perish but will have everlasting life. Our songs speak (word content) for themselves as vehicles to proclaim God's message of salvation and hope. We play a variety of styles so we can reach a variety of people. All the members in the band are on various worship teams at local churches (or other ministries) so we are prepared to conduct worship when called on to do so. Finaly after 10 years a CD is being replucated and will be out in about 3 weeks.
