About Me
THE VERY STONE RETURN TO PUCKETT'S GROCERY IN FRANKLIN, TN ON FEBRUARY 29, 2008 AT 8:00PM.The band features Admo Wirdzek on drums, Rick Elias on guitars and vocals, Mark W. Winchester on bass and Randy Perkins on vocals and guitars.The Very Stone was created in 2005 by Adam "Admo" Wirdzek and myself in a little coffee shop in Nashville, TN. I had been saved in early 2003 and began writing songs that praise and/or glorify our Lord Jesus Christ. Before my salvation, I was the founder/leader of the Nashville-based "Folk-Funk" band DIGNUS, but I now needed a vehicle to spread The Gospel. Admo had been drumming splendidly with me since 2004 and we had become close as friends and brothers in Christ. It was obvious that God had brought us together and that He had plans for us.I have always loved Gospel music and its Pop derivatives such as Billy Preston and Al Green. Though not a Christian, George Harrison's inspirational influence with My Sweet Lord and Hear Me Lord allowed me to see how Rock music could spread the Word. As well, Bob Marley was a strong spiritual force in my musical life and both he and George showed me that conviction for your faith does not have to be bland, though I respect anyone who believes, bland or not.The Lord, through Admo, blessed me by bringing Rick Elias into my life in December of 2006. You may know that Rick produced and performed with Rich Mullins and A Ragamuffin Band. His input and spiritual gifts have given The Very Stone a direction and credibility that only Rick could impart and, again, it is obvious that The Good Lord brought Rick into my life.I had played with Mark W. many times in the past and he was a natural to call when we were forming the performing VERY STONE. Thankfully for us, Mark's schedule worked perfectly with ours and he became the fourth member, adding upright bass to the sound.Most of all, the four of us have become dear friends through Christ and we can sure make some beautiful music together.Inner peace to you and love your neighbor,
Randy Perkins
