Carried Away

One day last week, I had a phone call from someone Nancy (RUMC's Administrative Assistant) didn't recognize, so she put them into my voicemail. Meanwhile, Kathy (Christian Ed.) and I were having a conversation about how great it would be to get a big-name Christian artist or band to come to our church. Eventually, I got around to listening to the voice mail. It was a woman named Jane, calling to let me know about this group, Carried Away, who would be doing a promotional tour for their cd between March and June. I went to their website to check them out.

Their first album, released in 2005, won "Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year" at the GMA Covenant Awards in Canada. Their second album came out last summer. Their producer has also been involved with BarlowGirl and Out of Eden.

Anyway, long story a little shorter, I called to talk to Jane and actually talked with Colleen, one of the members of the band. Turns out Jane is her mom. The group is Colleen, her sister Pam, and their cousin Christine. I've emailed the guy who handles their bookings (their brother-in-law) to see about having them come to Ridge for worship and evening concert. So keep your eyes and ears open for more information. I'm super excited for the possibility!
