Mikeschair

Mikeschair, a unique Christian band that delivers pops sounds mixed with rock, electronic textures & bass grooves. Made up of Mike, Sam, Jesse and Jon, the band's live show they consider "the Gospel in action". Their self-titled debut album features the infectious tune, "Can't Take Away." The name Mikeschair piques a lot of interest and begs for an explanation. "The 'chair' was the central gathering point where we got our start," says Sam. "All of us lived on the same floor of our dorm at Belmont, except for Mike. But, since he was always hanging out with us on our floor, we decided to get him a piece of furniture to make him feel a little more at home. The chair was his only piece of property on our floor. He wrote his name on it in big capital letters, and it kind of became his seat of inspiration for writing songs and being creative. The name is a reminder of our humble beginnings and how far God has brought us." "The music isn't the full extent of our purpose," adds Jesse. "We are committing our time, effort and platform to helping those in need -- making ourselves available to be the hands and feet of Jesus. We have a dedicated table at our shows called "mikestable;" where everyone is welcomed and encouraged to step up and join with us and our partners - Food For the Hungry, IJM, and Love 146 - to make a difference in this world. There's something more here than just music; we're presenting something that's very precious to audiences and listeners. It's the Gospel in action."
