SEMESTER OFF TO
MUSICAL START
GREG HOWARD
The band's appearance was one of
their highlights. Their use of
choreography, costuming, lighting, and
explosives made It pleasing to the eye
as well as the ear.
Opening up for the band was
Florence, S.C, recording artist Pam
Grimsiey. Grlmsley provided a
complimentary contrast to Heirborne's
music. She has an Incredible soprano
voice which was highlighted on such
selections as, "My Soul Desire" and
"Worthy to be Praised".
The spring semester Is getting kicked
off In high musical fashion with sorhe
great concerts, January 23rd was the
date for a great concert with the local
Christian rock group Helrborne. The
concert v/as postponed a week but, the
show finally did go on and it was worth
the wait. The band provided a high
energy show of driving rock music with
a messaae of love, hope, and Jesus
Christ
Helping out her mom on a song was
Pam Grimsiey's ten-year old daughter
Kerri. This kid has great potential and
captured the audience with the duet
"From the Heart" and her solo rendition
of Amy Grant's "Wise Up."
Tuesday the 26th, we were honored
to have Benson recording artist Anthony
Burger perform in Convocation. Burger,
who has been named Gospel Musician of
the year for the past eight years, gave
an outstanding piano performance of
the old standards like, "I’d Rather Have
Jesus" to contemporary numbers
Including, "How Excellent" and
"Undivided", Burger left the audience
spellbound and on their feet,
February promises to be just as
great a month with concerts by Russ
Hollingsworth and Newsong. Russ
Hollingsworth gave a great performance
here last year and has penned songs for
such artists as Denise Williams and
Sandi Patti.
