Virtual Concerts

Our building was limited on space, which kept us from having large concerts. But that did not keep us from bringing in some "big names".

	APOLOGETIX - SAMSON COMES ALIVE! The concert DVD entitled, "Samson Comes Alive!" (Frampton Comes Alive, wink wink) is a 21 song salute to ApologetiX fans- an evening of their most requested biblical spoofs of rock hits from yesterday and today. The concert also features behind the scenes interviews with the band. 120 minutes. Known for impeccable instrumentals and dead-on vocals, The ApologetiX have the ability to sound like just about anyone! So much so, in fact, that New & Used Hits: The Best of ApologetiX Vol. 1 & 2 was recently awarded best album notoriety in Christianity Today's 2005 Readers' Choice Christian Music Awards. ApologetiX also placed second, behind Skillet, in the best band category. Clever ApologetiX lyrics appeal to listeners of almost any genre: pop, classic rock, country, and more!
