Shameless self-promotion

Here is a story I wrote about local bands that got their start playing churches and religious festivals like Lifest.

I'm pretty happy with how it turned out and the feedback I have gotten thus far has been positive. It's always dicey writing about anything related to religion because people are very sensitive about it. And some of the musicians I talked to very pretty critical of the Christian rock scene. Anyway, I worked hard to give an honest, truthful account of (what I think is) a fascinating subculture.
