A BRIEF HISTORY OF ........
Everything started in 1979.,Georgie Rockwood found Jesus Christ in 1979 after attending a "HAPPENING" christian retreat for the youth groups of the central Florida Episcopal church's.
Later that year Georgie's faith even deepened more after attending a JESUS 79 festival in Orlando Fla.,after hearing the powerful messages of Keith Green,Paul Clark,Evie & Degarmo & Key Band at the festival!!!!
Georgie had this floundering idea to start a band that would bring honour,praise & glory to Jesus Christ & mesh together the sounds of lush keyboards/synths/acoustic guitars & percussions.
What wants to do is bring people's heart to a place of worship & bring them back on their knees to the altar........
as for the name ..."as Christians,we're always "apart from the crowd"....& Jesus preached to the crowds,,He fed the crowd of 5 thousand.........
You can catch Georgie & Wayne as part of the rhythm section at the Lumber City Church Of God praise & worship band in Lumber City Georgia....us Pentacostals luv to shout/dance & praise GOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sometimes Georgie Rockwood & Jan Hrkach will go under the name as song-writers/concerts/releases etc....
..
Georgie Rockwood is also an avid Longboard surfer & Georgie wants to bring the ministry of to the beaches of South Georgia as well as a surf ministry.....
in loving memory of....Victor Lovera 1950-1998..RIP...brother (my songwriting partner in crime)

machine way back in 1983.

Hi! I actually enjoyed listened to 2 of your songs on Monday, and am planning on listening to the rest of them this evening! I will get back to you in a couple of days.
Hey there. I work in McRae and live in Baxley, so I go thru Hazlehurst pretty much everyday. I give a few keyboard lessons from time to time at El Bethel church, but my wife & I attend First Methodist of Baxley, where I play saxophones & periodically lead worship. We've got a great pastor, who is a really good acoustic guitarist & rock & roll historian (not too many pastors have an eclectic mix of CD's behind his church office desk consisting of Buddy Guy, The Grateful Dead, Diana Krall, along with the standards of Phil Keaggy, Michael Card, etc.)
My recording studio is in McRae. If you're ever this way, call me up & I'll show you my setup. 229-315-9778 cell
From the looks of your page, you've been pretty involved in the music thing for awhile. Where do you attend church? Take a look at my fledgling myspace studio page for a couple of samples of work I've done for myself & for others. www.myspace.com/chuckhutchesondoghousestudios
