Samson
The Mission: To give "The Answer" rather than ask more questions. The band's mission is to spread His Word through music, share His grace in our lives and promote service to God.
The Man: Samson was a biblical character who, with the help of God's Spirit, did great things. He was in many ways an ordinary person, like you and me. A person who makes mistakes. But God used him, nevertheless, to do great things for his people.
The Band: In the spring of 1998 Pastor James Walck and Michael Senft discovered a common love of music and a past in previous bands. Both were searching for an outlet for their talents. Pastor Jim shared his vision of a contemporary coffee house experience led by a rock and roll band. Intrigued, Michael and Jim began performing together and recruiting other talents. What followed was a true calling by the Spirit. Lydia Griffin joined Samson in February of 1999; Bob Lawler heard the call to Samson in April of 2000;Dan Brooks completed the group in August of 2000 when he answered an ad in a local musician's paper.
Background from, ohmyspace.com BLUE FRANCES' heart and soul is in rock n roll - country blues and rockabilly. The '62 MUSIC SHOW sound is down-to-earth gritty and real, steeped in sin and faith, raised in volumes of power. This gig has hit the stages of biker rallies, county fairs and even the rockin' religious, right and left. This sound has made its way to radio, regardless of its slightly irreverent bent. Some have deemed it holy, some have judged it not holy enough. Frances says, "Its just rock n roll, man". And that it is and so much more.
