Influences: BIOThe Amazing Grace Praise Band is a New Independent String Instrument Band with its musical roots in the Jewell Dominion Church of the Living God. In this church the Steel Guitar reigns and dominates as the lead instrument of praise and worship not the Hammond Organ or keyboard. The Steel Guitar is considered to be a divine instrument of praise used exclusively for temple worship. Sacred Steel Guitar Music is a combination of soulful, spirit rising, sanctified sounds guaranteed to inspire any listener.The Amazing Grace Praise Band was born out of the desire to preserve our unique sound and style of sacred steel guitar music played within the walls of the Jewell Dominion church. We are one of the few organized praise bands to venture outside of the church using this sacred music as a vehicle to spread the Gospel message. Until now this music has been like a hidden treasure in the earth and to the gospel music industry for over sixty years. This new species of sacred steel guitar music is referred to as a rare find in the American music culture.Many styles of music were brought over from Africa and established in America, but much like Jazz and Blues, Sacred Steel music was born on American soil, its unique style was developed and played by African Americans and is part of our little known history in this country. The Amazing Grace Sacred Strings Praise Band has its origin in the Jewell Dominion Church of the Living God which was founded in 1903.Our deep seated love and respect for the music and those who blazed this sacred trail before us, is what motivates us to pursue this endeavor as we pick up where our mentors left off. Our goal is to make a difference in the lives of people as we use the power of music to minister to the masses. Unlike many of our mentors we refuse to allow another generation to take this sacred steel guitar music to the grave without attempting to inspire and impact the world. Our assignment is to expose this music as we shine a positive light on the origin of this fast growing musical phenomenon known today as Sacred Steel Music.
