ABOUT

Endless Grace is a true Christian contemporary band. Originally formed to present an energetic music offering in services at a local Lutheran Church.

The intent is to do light travel to other churches, Christian Festivals, etc.

Objective is to get our originals marketed.

We have progressed from just a church band to a performing group. We played at Hiet's Point Lutheran Camp's Summer Kickoff in the summer of 2008 and the concert "It's just a Christmas Party" to benefit Good Shepherd Mission in Kansas City in December of 2008. We performed at the Clara Briarley Festival of the Arts in Peculiar, MO in June of 2009, "Christmas in July" in Centralia, MO in July of 2009, concert at a local retirement village in December of 2009, and a joint concert with Paul Land's (formerly of Land and Hildebrand) band MSRP, January 30th 2009. We are currently working with the Heart of America Homeless Veteran's Standown to play in a concert at their event this June and a repeat performance at the Clara Brierly Arts and Culture Festival the following weekend. We are also working with the Santa-Cali-Gon committee to play at that event in September. We still play a contemporary service about every 4 weeks at our home church. We are in the process of getting in the studio to record our first CD.

To our dismay, a wonderful lady that has played bass for us since last August, has had to leave the band for personal reasons. We need a committed bass player to start getting up to speed on the music and ready to take over that spot in the band in mid-June 2010. Preferrably one who has vocal ability but not totally necessary.

You don't need big super powerful amplification. We keep the stage mix down and run everything through the mains. You will need a direct box, a Bass guitar and at least a 60 watt stage amp. If you sing, you will need your own mic and mic stand. You will need all of your own cabling to get your mic and guitar signals clear through to the PA. Basically, 2 mic cables 20 ft, 2 guitar cables 20 feet. Don't expect a lot of money, we do this as a ministry but we do get paying gigs as well. Endless Grace needs to be your primary focus if you want to join the band. Thanks!
