"intimate, raw, tribal and soulful"
â wahba on his new release, live @ GJâs

recorded live at GJ's coffeehouse in tucson, arizona, live @ GJâs takes all the energy and feel of wahba's studio recordings and fleshes them out into an acoustic coffee shop setting. this record highlights the light, funky stylings of wahba's vocals and acoustic guitar. it also features the full, rhythmic percussion of bandmate, josh gersten, playing djembe, cajon drum, and multiple other hand percussion instruments.

"it feels like you're there in the crowd"
from wahba's stories about life, worship and songwriting, to the spontaneous drum & guitar segueways, live @ GJ's is an experience from beginning to end.

âwe are containersâ â a word about the cover
wahba describes the three drink containers on the cover of live @ GJâs as his personal âimage statementâ. referring to the mason jar as a container he loved to drink from as a child, then a cocktail glass in his younger adulthood, and finally a coffee cup at present. each container has one thing in common â whatever was inside, wahba wanted to drink it! as we mature, we realize that we ourselves are containers (luke 5 calls us wineskins) that carry the gospel of Christ inside.

therefore, wahba personally challenges himself with this question: am I making myself a culturally relatable container in which to present the gospel?

bio: wahba has led worship for numerous crowds across the US for the past 14 years. he has released three full length worship albums and has opened for national christian artists such as Natalie Grant, Leeland, Pillar, Kutless, By the Tree, Christafari and FFH. find out more about wahba's ministry at www.wahba.net.
