    For some reason I was under the impression that Matt was already doing solo stuff since he left the Lesters. Guess I was wrong. Speaking of solo “stuff”, would I be correct if I were to think that Jason Crabb is one of the few (if not maybe the only) soloists in SG music to travel with a full band? I think that gives him great appeal than if he were just singing to soundtracks. Thoughts?

      David Phelps also uses a full band.

        Thanks, David. Joseph Habedank would be another singer that would seem to do well traveling with a band. I was listening to his new album recently and thought on some of the songs that he sounded a bit like MercyMe. Would be interesting to know where Joseph gets his musical influences from.
