Having released their self-titled debut less than two years ago, 33Miles has impacted the Christian music scene with their heartfelt music and message of loving the church with transparency. Group members Jason Baron (lead vocals), Chris Lockwood (guitar/vocals) and Collin Stoddard (keys/vocals) have managed to balance their family lives with more than 120,000 miles of touring. Their first album resulted in numerous radio hits and journalists calling the band “a talented and devoted group of performers who possess some amazing gifts for music.” [InFuze Magazine] Upon the success of their first album, 33Miles was a Gospel Music Association Dove Award nominee for New Artist of the Year.

Their second album, One Life, concentrates on the experience of casting off safety nets and following dreams. In fact, the first single of the new album “One Life to Love” reflects on men and women finally learning to love their families and God, more than work and money. 33Miles member Jason reflects on the first single, “It goes back to the meaning behind 33Miles – the idea that life can be short, that Christ lived only thirty-three years on this earth. So the question remains: what will you and I do with our miles, with the years we are given?” [www.33milesonline.com]
A signature element found throughout the music of 33Miles is their expressive worship in lyrics and music. “My favorite song, at this moment, is 'Jesus Calling.' It captures the sound 33Miles has looked for over the past year. When you come to our concerts, this is what you're gonna hear live," Chris says with enthusiasm. "And the message is clear: even though the world is so full of noise today, if you just listen, Jesus is always speaking in and through it all." [www.33milesonline.com]
The concert on November 9 will also feature guest artist, John Waller. The release of John's critically acclaimed debut album, The Blessing, included the placement of his song, "While I'm Waiting", in the box office smash movie, Fireproof. Billboard Magazine proclaimed him to be one of their ten "Faces to Watch;" CCM called him a "Major buzz artist for 2007;" and Christianity Today said John could "Well be the shot in the arm that Christian AC needs."
