Damascus 180*/D-180*
(formerly known as Heidi Haskin and HeartBeat)
is a band of five from St. Croix Falls, WI.
They are...
Scott Lee - Lead guitar/Vocals, Heidi Haskin - Lead Vocals, Dustin Wheeler - Drums, Abe Saleh - Bass/Vocals, and Darin Bjornson - Rhythm Guitar/Vocals.
In January of 2009 Jon Germain (former bassist) introduced Dustin and Scott to Heidi. The band had only four practices before going on stage live together during a concert with Lightswitch in February 2009. They knew then that they would work well together. Unfortunately, Jon Germain had to leave the group in September 2009, and they were in search of a new bass player. Scott had known Abe and invited him to a practice with them and is now the bassist for D-180*. Damascus 180* met Darin in Amery, WI, at the Rock The River Amery, in September 2009. Darin has been invited onboard and is now the rhythm guitarist for the band. God having His hands on things and knowing what this band needs, He has placed them together. They have changed their name and have come together as DAMASCUS 180*/D-180*!
Damascus 180* have enjoyed ministering to people wherever they have performed. They have appeared with Lightswitch at St. Croix Falls School and Rock The River Music Festival in Amery. Also they have performed and worshiped at Church Events, Youth Events, Festivals, Coffee Shops, Churches, Parks, and many other events! They are an energetic group that likes to get you on your feet to praise and worship! With their variety of music from their own original songs to contemporary Christian cover songs, their goal is to get people excited again and to have a revived love for Jesus Christ or to come into a Brand New Love for Jesus Christ. They all have a heart for God to minister through their music and they have a passion to reach out to get souls saved.
