CLEARLAKE, Calif. – God’s Country Band returns to Lake County with an all-country authentic sound that will have you reminiscing over the great country classics you’ve heard through your life.
Buried at the center of each performance is a pure heart of praise and love of God.
God’s Country Band will provide their musical talents in a benefit performance to support Simon’s House, a Christian faith-based organization helping Lake County’s needy and disabled people with job training, rehabilitation and life skills.
They will perform at 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 18, at the Clearlake Nazarene Church.
The group also provide music for the 10:45 a.m. Sunday worship service.
“It is a blessing to have such a talented group of musicians coming to Clearlake,” said Clearlake Nazarene Pastor Richard Bean.
So, who is God's Country Band? Go back a couple of years to April of 2007 and an answer to
prayer.
Tim Stout, blessed with a close-knit family, had one great desire for himself and his two sons, Tim Jr. and Mike: that was to form a Gospel group with his brother-in-law, Randy Mills. Seeking first the Kingdom of God, Stout received his answer.
While the family came together and honed their musical talents, a void was filled with the addition of Glenn Davis and Jack Crowder, giving the group the sound that is ultimately God's Country Band.
A family-oriented Country Gospel group, they love to sing about Jesus.
Their mandate is simple and direct. First, win souls for the kingdom of God and second, bless and entertain their Christian Brothers and Sisters. Each member is blessed with songwriting ability and the group writes the great majority of their material. Each has an incredible testimony waiting to be shared
with the world around them.
Bring the family, admission is free, an offering will be requested.

The church is located at 15917 Olympic Drive in Clearlake, at Highway 53.

LAKEPORT, Calif. – Dove Award winners and top-selling recording artists, Big Daddy Weave and Aaron Shust, along with Andy Kirk, will bring their passionate and elevating live performances to 45 cities across the country while on the Hope Restored Tour through Nov. 14.
Sponsored by Wycliffe Bible Translators affiliate, The Seed Co., the tour will raise awareness for its innovative program OneVerse which provides Bible translations for all languages across the globe.
They will perform at the Lake County Fairgrounds, 401 Martin St., in Lakeport on Friday, Sept. 24.
With five No. 1 singles under their belts, Big Daddy Weave’s reputation for recording songs dear to the hearts of thousands is eclipsed only by their reputation for bringing incredible heart and passion to each and every live performance.
Big Daddy Weave’s live performances are one-of-a-kind experiences that join the artist and audience in a unique, singular voice and the Hope Restored tour expands that experience even further for the band.
“We are so excited to be a part of this amazing season of evenings on the Hope Restored Tour,” said Big Daddy Weave lead singer Mike Weaver. “I look forward to sharing the stage around the incredible and ever timely cause of translating the most important message of all time into every language on our planet.”
Also appearing on the Hope Restored Tour is three time Dove Award winning artist Aaron Shust, who is best known for the song “My Savior, My God,” the second most played CCM song of the decade behind “I Can Only Imagine” by MercyMe.
The simple tune he penned for his local church took radio by storm, topping six different charts at once.
“My Savior, My God” helped earn Aaron a trio of Dove Awards for Song of the Year, Songwriter of the Year and New Artist of the Year. It also propelled the Georgia-based singer into the spotlight and onto the road in a whirlwind of concerts, sharing the stage with the likes of MercyMe, Casting Crowns and Michael W. Smith.
While on the Hope Restored Tour Aaron will be performing songs from his latest release, “Take Over,” and sharing the album’s central message of submission and relinquishing control to God.
“One of the common threads that shows up in a lot of these songs is that we can’t achieve anything from our own efforts – certainly not salvation,” he said. “We can work out our salvation, but it’s only through what Christ has done on the cross that we have any hope.”
Rounding out the tour is 22-year-old, Nashville-based singer, Andy Kirk whose first single “Love Is the Only Thing,” from his debut album, “Wake Up My Soul,” hit No. 1 on Christian Radio Weekly’s Global AC indie chart on Aug. 1.
Before being approached by 1CN Records/Provident to record Wake Up My Soul Kirk lead music for one of America’s largest churches, LifeChurch in Oklahoma City, singing in front of over 3,000 to 10,000 people a weekend.
Kirk now serves as an Artist in Residence at Hopepark Church in Nashville in addition to keeping up with his nation-wide touring schedule.
