Guided (R.I.P.) - ProfilesArchive

About Me

It started sometime in late June of 2006. Some things you just know are God. Mike hadn't talked to Adam since they were in high school together, at least 5 years. Mike was newly saved and Adam was doing well with his youth group. Mike's father-in-law is a minister in the area and knew Adam's number. So, Mike calls Adam and a mentor/bandmate was formed almost instantly. The same day Mike calls an old friend Derek, who moved to Colorado the year before, just to harass him to move back because he had a guitarist/singer and needed a bassist to complete the trio. Derek said hello and then said he's moving back to Michigan in three days, before Mike could say a word! It was predestined by the Lord Almighty. Within a few weeks this trio started playing a few worship songs for Adam's church and named the band Guided. They wrote a couple of songs, but all the while, something was missing. Not until October Adam thought about introducing Dan to the band to fill the extra blank we needed with some electric guitar. Once we played together for the first time, we knew his ability and knowledge was exactly what the Lord had for us. The chemistry Adam, Mike, and Derek had was a special thing and Dan just made unparalled compared to any other band they have been in. Now, with the help of Jesus, they are pressing in on the christian genre trying to make an original statement with their musical melodies and strong sanctified message of Christ.
