BARREN CROSS With Special Guest X-SINNER [APR 12]

BARREN CROSS

Barren Cross is a pioneering American metal band that was formed in Los Angeles in 1983.  They were part of a movement that pioneered the way in which many bands would follow:  Four Christians in a metal band with lyrics reflecting life from a Christian worldview. They exemplified a natural passion for this alongside very few others who dared be different at the time in the very beginnings of this movement.  Receiving both praise and flak from many for this bold new stance, the band went on to do what they did, garnering a movement of fans who highly appreciated their candid stance on life, with many reports of fans getting more out of the band than mere “music”! 

Barren Cross would go on to become “influencers” to many other bands which would follow in their footsteps, to this day.  Lead Singer Michael Drive (Lee), Guitarist Ray Parris, Bassist Jim LaVerde, and Drummer Steve Whitaker would make up the searing lineup well-known for their excellence as musicians in their own musical craft.  Having released seven albums with much touring, the band is now set to record and release brand new material.

X-SINNER

X-Sinner is a Christian hard rock band formed in 1988 by guitarist Greg Bishop. The band is known for having a very similar sound to that of AC/DC, Kix and Def Leppard. They were named the favorite new band of 1989 by the readers of HM Magazine.
