The FACC praise & worship team played Easterfest last weekend at St John Vianney school in South St. Paul. We played a short set of 4 or 5 songs while people ate. I couldn't hear the 'big picture' very well but reliable sources claim that we sounded OK, even without a bass.
The roster did not contain the 'usual suspects' - without our fleet of more than capable backup vocalists, Roberto set aside the instruments to front the band. We got some help from Ron Basuil (one of the better guitarists I have ever played with) on six-string acoustic. Malou, who has only been playing with us for a short while, joined us on keyboards. We even had the elusive Kim Vadayos grace us with a solid drum performance. Hard rocker Brian Rourke capped it off with some lead guitar. As always, I felt privileged just to be there and add to the noise.
Here is some footage of us playing "Fields of Grace" -

Terry!
ReplyDeleteThis is GREAT! As a former member of my church's Joyful Noise Choir, I've played in a similar ensemble. You've got me thinking about putting aside my "creative differences" and rejoining the group.
Cool post! I hope you had a happy Easter!
Thanks Eric,
ReplyDeleteJoyful Noise, indeed!
Easter was good here, hope the same with you and yours.
