Are themembers of anthem lights band gay how to#

Powell: ThatвЂ™s one of our biggest challenges is finding out how to do that. Graham: We definitely wanted to have the programmed beats and the synths but also pair that with the live instrumentation and the live feel so that when you see the concert you feel like hearing the album live.Д«onham: How challenging was it to take a big-sounding record into the live performances? We were pleasantly surprised at the positive reaction we got.Д«onham: How important was it for you guys to employ a more aggressive pop/rock sound instead of what might be normally expected from a pop vocal band? I wouldnвЂ™t say that we were concerned but we were anxious to see what the response would be from business-minded people.

WeвЂ™ve been blown away and blessed to have them on board and partner with us to reach new people. Obviously couple of years into it, thatвЂ™s been the case. We knew that this was different so we hoped that labels and management would see the potential that we saw. Powell: We were so excited about the potential of it. WeвЂ™re excited to see what, if anything, God is going to do with it and use it to reach people.Д«onham: When you sent out demos, did you have any preconceived ideas about how the labels were going to respond and then did it surprise you how quickly things ended up moving forward? But we just followed our passion for pop music and it led us to this. We all understand that Christian music has taken a turn towards worship music, which has turned into a lot of bands and those types of sounds. But itвЂ™s definitely a calculated risk for everyone who partners with us, from the label to management to booking and all of that stuff. LetвЂ™s do that.вЂќ We just followed the inspiration for the project that led us to a band that looked like this. ItвЂ™s definitely been organic how it came together but it wasnвЂ™t like we were saying, вЂњHey, nobodyвЂ™s doing this. We can see how God has led us all to this point.Д«onham: Has it been a calculated risk for you guys to create a vocal band in a time when there arenвЂ™t as many out there or is this just what you feel like God has called you to do regardless of the current musical landscape? Anthem Lights (left to right: Kyle Kupecky, Caleb Grimm, Alan Powell and Chad Graham) Looking back on it, all the doors that opened and shut happened for a reason. I think everything thatвЂ™s happened with this band up to this point has been completely GodвЂ™s hand in the situation. I dealt with a lot of ups and downs, personally. I felt like I was where God wanted me and that things were happening and then all of the sudden those doors would shut.

Is your story nothing more than a reflection of GodвЂ™s hand working in your lives?Д¬had Graham: I had countless doors opened and then shut on me. From there, things seem to have moved very quickly.

ItвЂ™s a really cool place where you can see God sending people out into the world.Д«onham: You guys came together in a unique way having met at school and through mutual friends. ThereвЂ™s also an unbelievable amount of talent at that school. I loved that experience and it strengthened my faith, but for college I just wanted to surround myself with people who had a passion for Christ and I wanted to solidify my faith so I could go out into the world and make a difference. dcTalk, Meredith Andrews, Phil Stacey, etc.)?ДЄlan Powell: If youвЂ™re a sold out believer for Christ and you want to find a solid launching pad for going out into the world and making an impact for the Kingdom, when you go to Liberty with that in mind and you visit, I just donвЂ™t know how you donвЂ™t end up going there. Chad Bonham: What is it about Liberty University and its knack for producing national recording artists (i.e.
