Several years ago, a Washington-based worship band arrived on the scene. Unlike many new worship artists, they arrived with little to no fanfare. That only added to the charm of their sound-much as when a national coffee chain is compared to a local indie house. Today, Telecast has kept the same underground feel on their sophomore release, Eternity is Now. Taking care not to sound like the bands already flooding this saturated genre, they create music that both glorifies God and displays musical creativity. After being compared to Coldplaybecause no one else could pigeonhole their sound, they even break away from that label. In Eternity is Now, you'll hear a unique expression amidst the many sound waves navigating the skies. |

January 26, 2004 - Matt Redman... Live In Atlanta
Just in case Tree63's official website does not post enough news about themselves, they are now feeding us news about other artists too! It seems that Tree63's lead singer/guitarist, John Ellis, is helping out his friend Matt Redman with a gig.
This coming weekend, January 28-30th, Matt Redman and Passion founder Louie Giglio will be hosting the Facedown Conference in Atlanta. Our sources at Tree63 say we should expect a live CD and possibly a DVD from the Facedown event to hit stores in June, and possibly even a live "best-of" disc from Matt Redman.
