The Good Shepherd Band is the group of musicians who faithfully lead worship at ClearNote Church, Bloomington. Their primary calling is to lead God's people in weekly musical worship, but through God's gracious provision over the past few years, they have been able to record several CDs in the hopes of making God's truth more widely known in churches and homes throughout the nation.
Now, the GSB has entered in a battle-of-the-bands competition, and they need your help! Go to the Hard Rock Rising Facebook page and download the GSB's song "His Final Word" (Glorious Things, 2011) for free. The bands that get their songs downloaded the most get to play live at a battle-of-the-bands at the Hard Rock Cafe in Indianapolis.
This is a great opportunity to engage our culture by spreading the Gospel through music. Voting ends this Monday, February 6th, so jump on it!
