Hi Everyone!

What a huge night at the ‘House! Saturday the 19th was great! The crowd was happenin’, the music was rockin’, and the mood was high! Many thanks to everyone who made it and to all who worked so hard to get Higher Ground moving again. It sure had been a long time, but it was just like going home! We had Travis Roberts headline, local band “Failure 2 Fall” (who just placed 3rd in the Buchanan County battle of the Bands), the Higher Ground House Band (now “Good Friday”), and a whole bunch of crazy people!

Travis Roberts was and is AWESOME. What a great player and man of God. His music was worshipful, powerful and kickin’! His message was one of hope. We thoroughly enjoyed every song – the new CD Love’s Revolution is great and I encourage you to buy one. Visit his website at www.travisrobertsmusic.com. Go visit and listen to some GREAT Christian music!

Failure to Fall covered the new Addison Road song “Stickin’ with You” and, man, it ROCKED! They also did “Happy” by Ayiesha Woods, “Walkin’ on Sunshine,” and “Goin Home.” Band members are: Emily Ratliff, Tyler Adams, Ethan Prater, Brandon Viers, and Bryan Davis. Great job, guys!

We want to thank everyone who came out to support Higher Ground and for your prayers. We are so excited about a new season at the ‘House and are currently planning a new event in September. Keep it here for updates!

Thanks again, and, GODSPEED! --BR
