CLASSIC PETRA

About Me

Petra, which means "rock, massive" in Greek, was a Christian Rock band formed in the 1970s. For three decades, the band showed stability and continued to produce albums despite changes in genre and the general taste of the public. Through numerous line-up changes, Petra maintained its commitment to preaching the gospel through music. The band won numerous awards and sold millions of albums. During its career, Petra released 24 albums, selling nearly 10 million copies. It won 4 Grammys, 10 Dove Awards, and was inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame. On May 24, 2005 Petra announced that, after 33 years of ministry, the band was retiring. Members recorded one of their final performances, in Franklin, Tennessee, to release as Petra's last album. The final performance finished in the early hours of January 1, 2006 in Murphy, North Carolina. They released a Petra Farewell DVD in 2006.
