Josh Abbott Band hails from the great state of Texas bringing with them that unmistakable Texas sound blended with contemporary country music.  Great musicianship mixed with equally great stage presence, provided a night of great music that seemed to be enjoyed by all! It was a packed crowd in there.  From the moment they took the stage, the crowd was completely captivated by them–singing along and dancing to the music.

Also, receive a free download of new song My Name is Eustace

Recently, FOCUS was invited to attend a show at Rocketown in Nashville by Christian rock band, Benjamin Dunn & The Animal Orchestra.  We weren’t completely sure what to expect because this was the first time seeing this band live and a completely, new venue to us.  Not new to Nashville, just US.

After 2 opening artists, Benjamin Dunn & The Animal Orchestra took the stage.  From the moment they first took the stage until the very end, they captured the audience’s attention.  People were crowded to the very front of the stage, completely enthralled, and dancing to every song.  The songs were mostly uptempo and danceable with a Christian message.
