Brother Leather Live in Greenville!

Matthew Moore — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 15:30:04 +0000

It’s been a long time since the fall of 2000. It was in that semester that Brian Lee, Andy Smith, Ryan Young, and other friends came together to create arguably one of the best bands to come out of Greenville, For All The Drifters. After a few years, the band collectively disbanded and decided to go in different paths.

Fast forward to 2010. Paper Route, which consists of most of the former For All The Drifters members, including Andy Smith, has toured nationally with such acts as Paramore, Owl City, Jack’s Mannequin, and Lights. Brian Lee & His Orchestra, which includes Ryan Young, has had 3 successful releases and enjoys touring occasionally around the Nashville area.

On November 12th, Brian Lee, Andy Smith, and company will be joining forces once again to play a show in Greenville, Illinois. They will be partaking on a small tour across the Midwest under their new moniker, Brother Leather. The group is said to be working on recording a short EP of songs they have written in anticipation of the upcoming tour.

The Brother Leather concert is proud to be sponsored by Blackroom Records as well as AgapeFest, both of whom have played a great role in the launch of these successful musicians’ careers.

Doors open at 7 pm with a $5 charge at the door. Concert will start at 8 pm and will be held in the Blackroom on the campus of Greenville College.

We will never cancel the show because of rain or storms.Bands might be delayed but “the show must go on”. Keep up your prayers, God’s hearing you. The radar shows the storm splitting right around Greenville! Incredible! That’s what God is doing for us! Simply amazing.

Thank you Lord Jesus for providing this shelter! We thank you for your amazing love for us and that you are keeping us safe in the middle of these storms. We pray for the safety of everyone traveling in this weather to hear your Word and to praise the God who is ever-loving and never-failing.

Amen.

See you all soon!
