K4C Music to play at St. Gregory's on October 2nd
|
|
|
K4Cmusic will be our special guests on Sunday, October 2nd and will be playing some gathering music prior to our Simple Gifts service and after the service during our Coffee hour fellowship. K4C Music played at the Downtown BBQ Throwdown here at St. Gregory's back in April and have agreed to share their amazing Christ centered music with us once again. They are an up-and-coming band to watch for 2016. Click the photo above to watch one of their music videos!
The band consists of Sammy Rigaud, Lucson Joseph, Dawenn Dorgile, and Their Producer, Hobnir Laventure. They are Christian-based; with an inspirational theme and a motivating sound. They have challenging music that is uplifting. Their music is at times edgy, mostly up-tempo, and lyrically thoughtful. These guys have a relentless approach to music that is infectious. In only 5 years together they have been able to build a fan base that is "sticky". They released 2 studio albums "Electric Gospel" (2011) and "Life Anthems" (2015) and are currently touring the country. The ceiling for K4Cmusic is truly endless. For more information about their music and the band visit
www.K4Cmusic.com.
Join us on Sunday October 2nd in Harris Hall for K4C Music & our Simple Gifts service.
