They were on their way to the Roanoke Civic Center for Winter Jam 2008, a Christian rock-and-pop-themed music festival whose fans filled up the center’s parking lot one full hour before showtime. Dozens of church vans from many parts of Virginia and West Virginia helped fill the lot. “I believe these musicians … they’re doing God’s work,” Coiner said as he and Carter and hundreds of other concertgoers filed down Williamson Road toward the event. “Anything you can find inRead More →

You may not immediately recognize the name “Kevin Max”, but you’ve probably heard of the group he started in, dcTalk. I was browsing around the ChristianMusicDaily website and saw this album posted for Kevin Max. The description alone heightens my desire to go grab this at my local Christian bookstore. “The Blood is not a classic hymns cover project or a white/homogenized version of black Gospel or soul music.
