TURN OFF THE STARS
CLock@kingsway.co.uk www.kingsway.co.uk
Generally speaking, one might assume that a band whose name originated from a song by jazz pianist Bill Evans wouldn't know a thing about how to rock. However, the Toronto band have been lighting up the stage, winning over crowds and recording an album in an effort to prove otherwise. Turn Off The Stars began a few years ago at Western University in London, Ontario. Lead singer Mike Walker and his brother, guitarist Andrew Walker met bassist John Dawson while performing an acoustic show on campus. From that day forward, the boys continued on together as an acoustic band - but deep down they knew something was missing...or someone. Enter drummer Max Kennedy. With the band now firmly set up as a 4 piece, their passion for rock became too strong to ignore and Turn Off The Stars was born.

Jesse and his late brother, Jim have played many of the world's major music fesivals including Wembley (UK) and Newport (USA). Jesse states: "I see our country turning away from God by trying to delete anything that gives Him praise. I happen to be a Christian believer who knows that God can fix anything if we will sincerely ask it of Him on bended knees."
JESSY DIXON

caroline.towers@stl.org
With looks and the occasional vocal 'whoop', he vocally reminds one of the legendary Little Richard ('Rip It Up', 'Tutti Fruiti' and 'Long Tall Sally'). But that's where the similarity ceases! Jessy's gospel music heavily influenced the 'rock 'n roll' generation. Growing up in San Antonio, Texas, Jessy admits that he only initially attended his local church for the enjoyment of its joyous music! His undeveloped faith at that time did not match the God-given gift of his exceptionally good voice. He had not personally surrendered to the claims on his life of Christ Jesus as his Lord and Saviour. This all changed dramatically in 1972.

GLO
www.glo-online.com
Based in England, the group is well named and their album 'Evilution' is a clever play on words. Steev, Paul, Ricky and Phil came together in 1998, as a vision was received by the lead vocalist several years prior. In that vision, Steev saw multitudes at a stadium event, drawn to the glory of God through the power of music and the presence of the Holy Spirit. Having recognised the evangelistic power of spiritually anointed art and media, Steev spent the subsequent years searching for like-minded people with a heart for God, a passion for the lost, and an ear for contemporary Christian music. Glo is the conclusion of that search. Pulling together a plethora of influences from dc talk to Keane, Nickelback to Robbie Williams, mixing a blend of hooky choruses & driving gritty guitars, with refreshing vocals delivering clear, challenging lyrics - the music of Glo is perhaps best described as 'Grit pop/rock'.

Reaching for his guitar, a melody was inspired as he mouthed the words: 'I've Only Jesus To Call My Friend'.
