* Await The Day will perform on July 31 (Thursday) in the Indie Artist Showcase in Monterey, Calif., as a finalist in the Spirit West Coast Talent Search and Showcase presented by Essential Records. If the act reaches the finals (top two), they will perform again on Aug. 2. The band was invited to compete after submitting their song, Time for Change.
“These are wonderful opportunities for The Access and Await The Day,” said Kathy Douglas, CEO for Indie Extreme. “They did an outstanding job performing during GMA Week in Nashville last spring, and they have both accomplished a lot since then. We are very proud to have them on the Indie Extreme artist roster.”
The Access is managed by Mark Silvestri, founder of the Houston record label R.A.W. Music Group. The group, which formed in Mont Belvieu, Texas, in 2006, is working on their debut album with Houston producer MD Thompson of Ivory Tower Realizations. Members of The Access are lead vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist Justin Michaels, bassist/back-up vocalist Terry Cardwell, guitarist Nick Daniel, guitarist/back-up vocalist Winter, and drummer/back-up vocalist Kyle Mason Hall. The band, which describes its sound as a modern form of praise and worship, is using its music to “wake up a sleeping church and to bring the life, only Christ can offer, to a generation of dry bones.”
Await the Day, a Christian rock band, is using “edgy guitar licks and original melodic ballads” to share their passion for Jesus Christ. The group was encouraged to form in 2006 after deeply moving attendees during a worship service at a men’s retreat. A host of acoustic performances followed at various venues across the region. Members of the band found themselves “driven by their faith and motivated to share the word with every breath.” They are working their way to the top with a devotion to God and his music. Members of Await the Day are Ben Fontenot, Justin O’Neal and Eddie Boyer.
