Bio:

The Erik Christensen Band: five guys joined by The Spirit and their love for music to tell the Christian story of fatherhood, loss, love, and struggle. The pairing of Erik's truthful lyrics and the band's talent on the keys, mandolin, violin, percussion, and guitars strikes the heartstrings of every listener. These musicians remind us how to abandon the distractions of this world and seek the beauty of our Lord recognizing his faithfulness to us.

"Your music opens direct and clear loving communication between me and the Father, what better blessing than that!"

"…beautiful, passionate, and convicting"

People are touched; not just by the honest and transparent song writing, but by the revealed commonalities that all Christians share: the beauty of our struggles as we live for and walk with Jesus. In their music, Erik and the band are able to give flesh to those common longings of the human heart and leave the audience nodding in agreement and singing long after the concert is over. Good music, like any good art, should touch the core of a person. Through edgy acoustic tones the band's music draws us, the listener, into the romance of Christ and his bride. "When we look at any of the arts, what we find is that they are whispering to us, pulling us out of ourselves for a moment to see beyond this life to what we were created for…beauty." The band hopes that their music would stir up a longing in their audience to touch that beauty, to know it, or rather know him, more completely and so to pursue the person of Christ more fervently.
