Description:
This central Georgia group began its ministry in 1997 as a Southern Gospel band but over the intervening years God impressed upon its members to modify the band’s sound and go in more of a Christian rock direction to reach a broader audience for Christ. It is difficult to pin down Spiritfield’s sound as there have been many musical influences to the group as well as the individual members. Many of these influences include Eric Clapton, The Beatles, The Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Matchbox 20, Third Eye Blind, Third Day, Audio Adrenaline, Switchfoot, GS Megaphone and many others. Spiritfield’s sound can best be described as a mix of contemporary Christian and southern rock with an alternative twist. Spiritfield has been fortunate enough over the past few years to tour through several states, including North Carolina, South Carolina, Mississippi, Arkansas, and throughout Georgia, performing at local and state fairs, coffee houses, music festivals, youth events, church congregations, even state prisons and juvenile justice facilities.
Spiritfield is more than just another Christian band. Spiritfield is involved in community outreach through Spirit Fest, the annual Christian music festival they host (www.spirit-fest.net) as well as identifying and working with families with special needs through Spiritfield’s Women’s Ministry which is comprised mainly of the Spiritfield wives.
Spiritfield feels blessed and is very excited to also be a part of the Artist Alliance program of Open Doors. Open Doors is an international Christian ministry whose vision since 1955 has been to strengthen the Persecuted Church worldwide (www.opendoorsusa.org). Open Doors accomplishes this through many different avenues, including smuggling Bibles and other pastoral aids into countries where these items are not available or permitted. Spiritfield and the other members of the Artist Alliance help to raise awareness and promote Open Doors’ ministry.
Spiritfield is interested in ministering wherever God opens a door, and is looking forward to seeing what God has in store next!
