Headlined by Lincoln Brewster and Todd Agnew, the 2007 Stand and Be Counted Festival was a successful outing for musicians and Christians alike. Located at the Nut Tree Park in Vacaville (between San Francisco and Sacramento), this year's Stand And Be Counted featured over 13 bands and was designed to also honor the U.S. Armed Forces. Many performers acknowledged the service of the military members in the crowd (Travis Air Force Base is only 10 miles away), and the show even featured a presentation of the American flag as well as a grand rendition of Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the U.S.A". By Faith Productions was the company responsible for organizing this year's event. They also put on the previous two year's Stand and Be Counted festivals. According to Vince McCallister, By Faith Productions head organizer, over 6,000 people attended this event that was run by 200 + volunteers that came from all over the area. Many local and national companies sponsored the event to include MAACO; KLOVE, a nationally syndicated Christian Contemporary Radio Station; Coffee World; and Mission Solano, a local homeless shelter. Several local vendors were able to set up shop and sell their wares as well as their businesses to the passer-bys. On the Main Stage, many of the biggest names professed their love for Jesus and gave their blessings and talents to the thousands in attendance. And for anyone there who thought Contemporary Christian bands were just acoustic guitar players on a stool, they were in for a big surprise. Transparent was a hip-hop act who won the American Christian Talent contest. Relentless Pursuit could have easily been mistaken for a mix between Sum 41 and The Hives, with their punk-pop sound and tasteful suits. They riled dozens of kids into frenzy in the front of the stage; I had to break up a mosh pit led by 14 year-old girls. Darell Mansfield blessed folks with his blues-inspired set, complete with a cover of Robert Johnson's "Crossroads". The festival had more than just musicians. Also featured were Glory Skateboards, a touring skateboard company that set up a mobile park for patrons to skate, ride, and rollerblade on. They also sponsored bringing 3 skateboarders from Brazil to perform for the public. Included in the festivities were several activities for children, such as 10 inflatable jump castles and an entire tent devoted to children's ministry. Clowns, puppeteers and other children's entertainment kept the little ones busy throughout the day. The alternative stage, set up ride outside the main gate, was a surprise hit to the visitors. Outstanding performances by heavy-rock band Dizmas and soul-singing Jennifer Newell in her band ThankFull highlighted the outer stage. ThankFull also featured Mary Cary, a crazy-talented guitar goddess that used to play with Simon Stinger. No Middle Ground and My Second Chance also surprised people with their deep lyrics and technically sound playing, with No Middle Ground featuring a lead keyboard and My Second Chance with their 6-piece nu metal sound. The last two performances of the day couldn't have closed out the day better. Lincoln Brewster played his hit songs "Majestic" and "You Are the One", peppering each track with bluesy and Santana-like solos. He closed out his set with a personal testimony, describing how he grew up in Alaska with an abusive father. He gave his life to Christ at the age of 19 and encouraged those in the audience to do the same if they hadn't already. After his testimony, Lincoln announced that although the concert was free to the public, the actual cost to the promoters was $40,000 dollars and that any donation given would help off-set the cost. Within 20 minutes, volunteers were able to collect almost $7,500, putting a sizeable dent in the funds. Closing out the entire evening was Todd Agnew who mixed his set with funny stories, musings, and even a little "tough love" preaching. He spoke about the anger in his heart with some of Christian radio and its lack of diversity. "Where are the Latino performers, the black performers, the African-American artists?" As the crowd clapped in approval, he immediately stopped them saying "I don't want you to cheer; I want you to change. Get involved and get active." By Faith Productions hopes that the success of this show brings more sponsors to help set up another Stand and Be Counted for 2008. |
