Creation Fest: The Tour Journal

We pulled into Cullman Alabama Fairgrounds around 9:30am (Central time). All the busses & trucks arrived together after a ten-hour ride from the last date. Long ride means more sleep for the performers and the bus drivers will catch up on their sleep during the day. Nick Kulb (Producer) messed up his foot the night before. He had a nasty gash on his heel from hitting a chair leg. Ouch! Limp, limp.

The event was out doors and it reminded all of us of Creation! The weather looked somewhat threatening for a while in the morning but then it totally cleared in the afternoon (thank you, Jesus). We were only a couple of hours from Nashville so some of the families of band members came and joined us. Great southern chow from a local church as well.

“Youth Quake” is in it’s sixth year, headed up by Shane Quick who works with Premiere. Essentially, the “Creation Festival: The Tour” was the program. In addition hot local band, “Nine Lashes,” opened and Matt Pitts who leads a youth movement called “The Basement” with over 6,000 kids coming in Birmingham, AL. Matt gave the message with drama a player and a candidate for the Heisman Trophy. This definitely was the largest crowd we have played for thus far on the tour. The bands had a great night – great all around. One little glich when the lights went out but all is well.
