GOSPEL: Contemporary Gospel



Details:
Hailing from the south eastern parts of Michigan, this Rochester based band is composed of Ian Henson on guitar/lead vocals, bassist Joel Young, lead guitarist Dale Pittman and drummer/vocalist Brandon Husken.

Already performing throughout most of the Midwest, Southeast and Northeast in previous incarnations, Daystar possesses a unity beyond their years, knowing both what they want as musicians and as children and laborers of God. The four of them are molding their talents and beliefs toward a mission of challenging many to strengthen their faith and make it their own.

Daystar is a collaboration of two past Christian bands, Back From Nowhere and Union: Red. Both bands shared similar goals in combining their interests in music along with the desire to create something meaningful that could connect with churchâs youth.

Between both bands, they have played many: festivals including the likes of Alive and Lifest, retreats ranging anywhere from one day to week long events, lead worship for various churches and played numerous Christian clubs throughout the tri-state areas.

While Daystarâs goals are similar to our past musical experiences, Brandon says, âWe want to not only connect with our generation but many generations, on a level that is up front and very honestâ. âWe would love for people to connect with our music on a very personal level.â âDaystar plans to work with the Church, coming along and providing support and opportunity for the ministry that is already in place.â

Ian continues to say, âWeâll keep doing what weâre doing on whatever level it is that God takes us.â âAs we grow, we just want to continue to be as transparent and honest as we possibly can.â

Philippians 4:13 says: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. âThe same God that ushers in the bright and morning star on earth and in us, has given our band this opportunityâ. âWe donât want to let it burn out and fade away, but rather let it continue to shine onâ.
