biography

You're the Vice President of a multi-million dollar corporation…you make a six-figure income, have a big house, fancy cars, power and prestige…all before the age of thirty. You have the world in your hands. That is, until you feel God calling you into full-time music ministry. A career with no guarantee of income, notoriety or success. What do you do?

Nothing. That is exactly what Brant Christopher Menswar did. He pushed forward with his meteoric rise in the Credit & Collections industry. Taking a stronger hold of the business that garnered him luxuries most will never see.

"God had a different plan."

It wasn't but a few months after shunning that initial call to ministry that the world as Brant knew it would come crashing down.

"I lost my job. My wife and I were living high on the hog at the time. Spending as much as we were making. I was out of work for eight months. No one would hire me. I was making more than most CEO's. Why would I take a job for ¼ of what I was making? I was too big a risk. We went through every bit of savings we had. We eventually lost everything…the house, cars, furniture…you name it. I used to have these conversations with God, I said I would answer His call once I could support my family enough to do it."

It was then that Brant realized that no matter what he did or how much money he made, he was not the provider for his family.

"God could have been a little more gentle in letting me know," laughs Brant. "I'd have been happy with a burning bush. I guess He knew this was the only way to get me to listen."

Brant vowed to be faithful to his call. He watched one miracle after the next until God had placed what he wanted in the palm of his hands…a chance. A chance to pursue music. Brant recorded his debut solo CD entitled Circus Life. Soon after he found himself sharing the stage with Christian music giants Jars of Clay and Newsboys. In fact, in the midst of booking over 70 concerts over 6 months, Brant was invited to perform in Cheltenham, England at the largest Christian music festival in the UK.

Now, experiencing a similar rise in the Christian Music industry, Brant keeps the focus where it belongs.

"He who giveth, can taketh away!" says Brant with a smile.

Even as his former colleagues call to entice him with "an offer he can't refuse." Brant Christopher continues to pursue God's plan.

"I've already accepted the offer I can't refuse."

Nancy Tutunjian Berger

Nancy enjoys singing all types of music and has been involved in concerts where she has sung Jazz, Big Band/Standards, and Broadway/Show Tunes. For the last fifteen years, she has also been writing Contemporary Christian Music and singing her songs all over New England. She has released three independent recordings of her compositions and these have received airplay on Gospel stations all over the U.S. She has taped several local Cable shows and had numerous on-air interviews, resulting from the airplay of her music. She also released a recording of treasured Armenian songs, one of her last collaborations with Maestro Gregorian before his death. Nancy resides in Watertown, Massachusetts with her husband Richard. Although she has had no formal voice training or music schooling, she loves to sing and she considers her ability to do so a gift from God, and a great privilege. "When I sing, I feel the pleasure and joy of His Presence.." Her hope is that you will, too! Mp3 Sample
C2W

The journey for us began in 2001. We have encountered quite a few twists and turns over this time period. Fortunately the ride has led us to higher ground - and that by the grace of God. We find ourselves amazed every day at the doors the Lord continues to open, while learning to persevere through the times He surprisingly moves us in a new direction. Through each step, however, we sense God's hand, anointing, and power behind us as He surpasses our wildest dreams.

Our goal from the start has been to reach people through our music. Not just entertain them, but bring them something of real value, of real treasure. That treasure is Jesus. "For me, there is nothing more awesome then watching God reach down deep into a person's heart and turn their life upside down. Hopefully our music carries more then just a tune or a nice melody. Hopefully it carries a message and an anointing that God is in."

CrossRoad

CrossRoad is a ministry dedicated to presenting God's truth through contemporary Christian music and dialogue in a concert setting. We are a "band of brothers" ...seven men using God given talents and gifts to honor only Him (1 Thes. 2:4). We have vast and varied life experiences and seek to share our joys and struggles with teens and adults, testifying to God's never failing grace, mercy, and love. Over the past twelve years this band has ministered in Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire. Each of us has committed our life to Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
Damascus Road

Back in 2001, the Ashburnham Community Church began to develop a more contemporary worship service to augment the traditional worship that already existed. Through the combination of personal relationships and well-placed flyers, the members of Damascus Road were pulled together. Originally gathered to lead worship on Sunday mornings, the members of Damascus Road knew little of what God had in store. We continue to lead worship every Sunday morning at 8:30, but in addition have been blessed with a hectic ministry schedule beyond the four walls of our church.

Deeper Still

Deeper Still
Listen
The band's music is enthusiastic and invigorating. A Deeper Still performance will catapult you into a passionate and intimate worship experience! Deeper Still's heart is to see their music used as a vehicle to help connect people to Jesus Christ- that they may experience His precious loving touch, gain renewed strength and freedom, and share this contagious love with others. Let's fill this house with His love!
*Hot pick for youth and singles groups*

Mark Bishop Evans

It has been said that the only Bible many people will ever read is your life. If that is true, then it is imperative that we, the people of God, be as clear a reflection of Christ's love as possible. This requires Christians who are whole, and mature and who understand what it takes to walk the path from brokenness through healing to wholeness. Mark and his wife Bonnie share a unique and powerful message using music, visual arts, and personal testimonies; they minister individually and together. Their testimonies clearly show the extent of what God can do in a life that is willing to be changed by the love and healing power of Jesus Christ.

New Mercy Morning

New Mercy Morning

Indy acoustic rock

New Mercy Morning has had several radio singles played through out the country such as Faithful, My Beloved, and I Believe which all hit #1 on indie internet charts, as well as recently releasing, Remember Me, Now I Know, and their most requested single to date, More Than Conquerors from their new album Welcome Weary Travelers. They have also opened for national artists such as Downhere, Seventh Day Slumber, Sara Groves, Justin McRoberts, and Geoff Moore, and in 2002 appeared with Downhere on the cover of the nationally distributed music industry magazine, Christian Beats."

"New Mercy Morning (formerly known as Three Days Down) is an acoustic driven, contemporary Christian, music ministry featuring deep and passionate faith influenced lyrics with a musical style similiar to such artists as Steven Curtis Chapman, Caedmon's Call, The Dave Matthews Band, and John Mayer. The duo of Scott Logan and Scott Anderson are on their 11 year of ministry, but the message has never changed. New Mercy Morning is a ministry that seeks to encourage believers in their faith, inspiring them to grow in the Lord, and reminding them of who they are in Christ Jesus, while sharing that same message with the lost.

The West Brothers

Our ministry is one in search of the Lord’s will for us; spreading the Gospel, seeking love for the Lord our God and our neighbors, and standing up for the truth. Through our ministry, our desire is to provide music with a good message, expressing our love for God. We strive to create a prayerful, praiseful environment in which God may touch those He chooses.
Our music reflects Biblical truth, as we believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God. Honoring the respectful environments in which we often perform, we hope only to express our love and zeal for our Lord God Almighty, through his gifts to us.
The West Brothers have been the driving force behind the conception and management behind the New England Revival Coffeehouse. In whole and in part they continue to minister through their music here at the Calvary Fellowship Church every Sunday.

Bill Mallia and the Gulf Stream Band

If you've spent more than two decades traveling throughout the Caribbean and all over the planet, does it influence the kind of music you write? In the case of Bill Mallia it has. That's not to say that his music is simply island cliché with a Godly twist either. Bill's music is a little bit more like that feeling you get when you open your windows for the first time after a long, cold winter, or a bite of the year's first grilled cheeseburger. It all just makes you feel good.

Beyond Blue

BeyondBlue is a group of six musicians from all walks of life. They are joined together by their love of music, and their commitment to use their gifts to share the reason for the faith within them. All members are born again believers in Jesus Christ, and the purpose of their performances and recordings is to reveal that relationship.

BeyondBlue performs original music that combines rock, jazz, blues and Gospel in compelling ways with the focus on communicating the love of Christ and the need of salvation through Him. Utilizing lighting and sound systems, the group delivers a presentation that encourages believers, and challenges those who do not yet have that relationship to seek Him out.

We ask for your prayers as we move forward in faith that God will use us according to His purpose as we seek venues to present BeyondBlue.

"The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul."
- Johann Sebastian Bach

Joshua Sturgeon

Having toured New England and the tri-states, Joshua Sturgeon has created a dynamic, acoustic-rock performance. From premier Boston clubs to intimate coffeehouses, the 21 year-old singer/songwriter unites the flare of pop-rock with the lost art of story-telling. Listeners come away entertained, but more noticeably, they leave impacted by the honest words of a young man learning to trust his Savior. Old or young, long time follower of Jesus or skeptic, expect to find common ground with these songs of brokenness, hope, and grace.
