I’m Shannon (but I’m a dude… sorry to disappoint).

I lead worship every Sunday At Damascus Road Fellowship in Belleville, IL.

My instrument of choice? My Koa Anderson Crowdster ++

Used to run both sides (electric via Avid Eleven Rack) through My Genz Benz Shen Pro on stage and then DI both out from it to the board… This weekend I am switching to a FRFR Monitor in lieu of the Genz. Switching to a LR Baggs PADI for the acoustic direct… That way I can run guitars and vox through one flat response monitor and reduce stage volume (which is has done quite well in rehearsal so far)
We’ll see how goes on Sunday…

Hey! My name is Judson Harris and each week I am A lead worhsipper at First Baptist Church of Okeechobee’s Youth Group. I am the lead singer and lead acoustic guitarist for my youth praise band. Our youth group splits the middle schoolers(6th-8th) and the highschoolers(9th-12th) as Monday is highschool night, Tuesday is middle school night-this is only because we have a large number of students on each night and we cant hold them all in our youth facility on one night, so we split em. Anyway, on each night I play a Breedlove Atlas Series AC25/SM acoustic guitar. I am sooooo blessed to even have a guitar of this quality. It has a very deep sound, but it’s playable-I sortra like to call it a Martin/Taylor mix because it has the playability of a taylor, but the deep sound of a Martin. Anyway, I am very blessed to have it because this guitar costs somewhere around $1,000 retail, but I was lucky to buy it from a friend of my parents for only $450. It was a true blessing from God. It’s a verrry nice guitar, but I am currently looking for a Crowdster Plus with a Koa top. This would be the ast guitar I get because it’s so phenominally sounding and it plays well. Im sure you’ve all heard of it, and Im having some trouble getting one; but if it’s in Gods will, hten one day Ill get one. For now Im gonna stick to what Ive got, which isnt bad at all. But anyway, so , yea, there it is.

God Bless!

Greetings. I am blessed to lead worship at New Covenant Worship Center of Ft Wayne, IN. I lead from three keyboards (Yamaha Motifs). I know that’s a little different from the norm. Furthermore, I cant’ sing!!! I truly must be the only non-singing worship leader on the planet!

Hey Folks!

Andrew Heath from McKinney, TX. I lead each Sunday at First Baptist McKinney in our Theatre Venue. I am currently using a Taylor 514ce played through and Avalon U5 di box. Absolutely love the tone from the Taylor and Avalon. I often get guitar envy and want to change it up but I really have nothing to complain about with the Taylor. I have a Rhodes that I’m trying to work into the set but it just seems a little big to be sitting for more than 75% of the set.

1. My name’s Paul Kerslake, I share lead worshipping with my wife, Hannah and others. Recently been employed a day a week to be the Creative Director (grand title…needs changing) at church a day a week.
2. My main instrument is actually drums, and I still play for other’s when not leading. But when I do lead it’s with an Epiphone EJ200CE or a Telecaster depending on the music. Through a pedalboard I built.
