The Beginning of a Long Road


Today I start down a long road in studying the history of Contemporary Christian Music. My interest started from a young age, my parents were saved in the early seventies and were products of the Jesus Music era. I grew up listening to bands like 2nd Chapter of Acts, Love Song, Chuck Girard, and Dogwood. Many of these bands are long ago gone but the influence that they have on modern Christian music is profound. They were artist at a time when no one knew what to do with them, there were no Christian recording labels or Christian distribution groups. My goal is to look into the history, the people, the stories that came out of that time period in the late 60's and bring it into the 80's and 90's. My hopes are that at some point I might be able to interview some of the legends and bring a new appreciation of the struggles that birthed the genre that the modern Christian enjoys today.
