Church at Battle Creek Hosts Award Winning Rock Band


DOWNHERE IN B.A. Jason Germain, co-lead singer and guitarist of Canadian band Downhere says, “…God uses us in our weakness. He is closest to us when we most need him. We want to capture that idea in the work we’re doing now, so ‘Ending Is Beginning’ in many ways reflects where we are as a band.”

One of Christian music’s premiere rock groups, Downhere, is bringing their “Ending Is Beginning” tour to Broken Arrow, Thursday, Oct. 30. The concert will feature special guest, The Michael Gungor Band, and will be held at The Church at Battle Creek, 3025 N. Aspen at 7 p.m.

Downhere released their brand-new CD, “Ending Is Beginning” in September. This is the follow-up to the critically acclaimed, “Wide Eyed & Mystified,” with 12 new songs, plus the bonus track “How Many Kings,” their 2007 hit.

Downhere emerged from Canada’s alt-rock scene and immediately connected with U.S. fans with their breakout debut in 2001. Then came industry recognition with a Dove Award nomination for New Artist of the Year and two subsequent Juno Awards for Contemporary Christian/ Gospel Album Of The Year and Best Gospel Album, GMA Canada Awards for Rock Album of the Year and Rock Song of the Year and Dove Award for Modern Rock Recorded Song of the Year. The band has toured with artists such as SonicFlood and Rebecca St. James, and has performed at major festivals that include Atlanta Fest, Inside/Out Soul Fest, and Kingdom Bound. read more
