Rock Stars Fell on Alabama....well sort of

(Mark Hall from Casting Crowns)



Huntsville, AL

Tonight was another very cool night. We were the third band out of four to play at the Big Spring Jam in Huntsville. The fourth band in the lineup was an up and coming band called Casting Crowns. God continues to amaze me at the things he does in my life. This was one of those nights. We very rarely get to play this late in this type of line up. It was an outdoor event and the weather could not have been better. By the time we took the stage the sun had gone down and the stage lighting looked amazing. There were probably about 1500-2000 people at the event. During our first song Nick's (the electric guitar player) amp went out on him. The song ends with a guitar solo, but unfortunately it didn't tonight. Fortunately one of the other band's guitar player was watching and helped Nick make a quick recovery. Overall it was a great show, the audience was very responsive, and the promoters were very organized. To make the day even more interesting I found out that Boyz II Men were staying in the hotel room right across the hall from mine. I didn't even know that they were still doing music. Next we are on to Fort Payne, Alabama to play at Club Atomic.
