Music, Music, and more Music

Took my girls to Arco Arena last night, to see Steven Curtis Chapman's "All Things New Tour", with Chris Tomlin, and Casting Crowns. Fantastic show! Started right on time at 7:30pm, and kept going, with a 20 minute intermission, till 11pm!

SCC has been making music in the Contemporay Christian genre for about 15 years. He has so many hits, Grammys, and Dove awards it's hard for him to play everyone's favorite during his concert, so between sets, while the crew tore down the other band's gear and set up for the next, he and his band would come out on stage and jam through a medly of 10 or 15 songs, hitting the high points of his recording career.

The sound was great. Well balanced, but not overpowering. Plenty loud for even the very young. Arco is pretty good for concerts.
