MCR

That stands for Mud Creek Revival, a band in which I play guitar. We were formed way back in July, and have our first show next Saturday, Sept. 29th at the 2007 HarvestFest which is held at the world famous Tomato Bowl in Jacksonville, TX.

It's composed of myself (guitar), Jacob (acoustic guitar), Ian (vox, bass), Gary (vox, lead guitar), and Scott (drums). We've practiced a few times preparing for next Saturday, and it's gone great so far. There's a band going on before us called Considered Rubbish.

We're playing a set of 6 songs:
Untouchable-an original by Gary, can be heard on our myspace page
Blessed be your name-Matt Redman song
Thief and Consuming Fire-Third Day
Better is One Day-worship song
How Great is Our God-Chris Tomlin

Immediately after us is the speaker, some dude named James Darby. At the end of his message, we're going to play an altar call/invitation song. It won't really be a song, just us playing a small chord progression in the background. After that, Krystal Meyers and her band will perform, followed by us closing out the show with "How Great is Our God" again. So we're playing 3 different times that night, which is very cool for our first ever performance.

But even more cool than that, is an opportunity to be part of a event as great as HarvestFest. Last year there was 600+ people in attendance, and they're expecting more this year. Even though we're performing, I still take leading worship very seriously. It's a honor and a privilege to lead God's people in praise to Him. If we can touch God's heart, as well as those in attendance, it will be a successful night no matter how well our performance goes.
