David Crowder Band Bio

Christian Music Artists

The short of the story begins-Crowder as a college student, sitting in his bedroom trying to figure out what to play on a Sunday morning. He and a friend had achieved no small task by starting a church for their fellow Baylor University schoolmates. Thousands of students attending a Christian college, and almost half of them not stepping foot in any sort of church.

So there is young Crowder, sitting on the floor of his apartment, listening to one CD after another with the goal of finding some good music to lead the congregation. At this point, you might say that God intervened in the situation. That is if you believe that God would intervene in a situation in the form of your neighbor bursting through the door in a cloud of cigarette smoke, telling you that whatever you are listening to sounds like, well, something that cannot be printed here. Because that's what happened, and that's when Crowder decided it was time to write some songs that the students in his church could relate to, possibly for the first time in their lives. And thus, the birth of the David Crowder Band.

Time passed, players came and went, and eventually the current lineup came into being, and committed to staying together. An independent record was made for those at the church, but a funny thing happened. After awhile people from other parts of the country began showing some interest in the little band from central Texas. Offers began coming in for the band to play in various places, and coming in, and coming in, and coming in. The band was signed to Sixsteps/Sparrow records, and the rest is, shall we say, history.
