I am visiting churches in Northern Virginia (Washington D.C. area)to find and list churches that have bands. I won't rate them, but I will describe the service/event and what the band set-up was like. If you're shopping for a church and want good gospel,rock or acoustic based music, check out this blog!

Great D.C. area church bands

Howdy there-

Welcome to my blog about Washington, D.C. area church bands!

I've set a goal this year to visit 25 churches that have "contemporary music" in the Washington, D.C. area. So far I've visited mostly churches in Northern Virginia that feature the basic rock band set-up: electric guitars, bass and drums, and keys/piano. This blog will log my journeys and describe what I find. Churches will not be rated - it's not a contest! It's just a way to get folks thinking about going to church by telling about the musical happenings.

I will post my findings - how the band was set up, how many members the group had, how many songs they played, how the service was structured, size of church, ethnic makeup, musical styles, etc.

I've met lots of great players and singers so far and have heard NO bad bands. (Can anyone say that about bar bands? I didn't think so!)

If you've got a band at your church, invite me and I'll try to come! That's about it. God bless!
