Christian Music Fan

Stükenberg’s “Mountain of Pieces” album is another one I’ve been listening to for the last couple of weeks and really enjoying. They’ll be performing at Cornerstone 2008 in Bushnell, IL the week of July 4th.
My first impression after popping the album in my computer was of a ska band on their initial song “Don’t Mind”, but after continuing through the album they’re so much more than that.
Stükenberg is a group out of Wisconsin that consists of five members all sharing their last name and an apparent love for engaging and uplifting music.

One of the first Christian music artists I ever really listened to growing up was Audio Adrenaline. For me Newsboys and Audio Adrenaline were the actually cool Christian groups that I might get my friends to listen to and respect their music. Now after a long, productive and successful career, the guys are calling it a wrap for the group. The move is led by their lead singer still struggling with his voice. Understood given the decade and a half they’ve been rocking venues and music festivals.
Although retiring due to front man Mark Stuart’s ongoing vocal challenges, the band has …read more

A post at CCM Patrol shares the experience of a man that got less than he thinks he bargained for at a recent concert. He’s basically complaining that he spent $100+ to see the Newsboys, and they only sang 9 songs.
Analysis: I will never see any concert at any amusement park, ever, or at any festival with mulitple bands, as that’s what I blame for the microscopic set list.
You’ve really got to read the entire spiel, as he details out the costs he experienced like a Mastercard commercial. I responded in the comments with my thoughts below:
I don’t believe this …read more
