Last fall, I was introduced (in a manner of speaking) to a band called Casting Pearls. They performed at the Ionia Free Fair with Newsboys and it was an incredible show. Over the course of the last two weeks, I've seen them twice more with the teens from our youth group. They're currently on tour "The 180 Tour" with Crystal Woodson Miller and Sara Brendall.
For those of you not familiar with this band, check them out. They're old CD has an early PFR feel with a little more electric guitar, and the new CD is a sound all their own. Their lyrics encourage evangelism and being real in your personal walk with Christ. Each of the concerts I've attended have been high energy and very reflective... Not to mention that they have an incredibly hot bass player. (Am I too old to say stuff like that? Maybe I'm spending too much time with teenagers...)
So anyway, that's my plug. Check out Casting Pearls! You won't regret it. Here are a few pics from the concerts I've been to, and of course most of them are of just the bass player :)
