When I first met the guys from DecembeRadio back in 2006, I knew that I had come across something
special. Not only was the southern-rock sound that they put out an attraction to fans of mainstream
acts like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Black Crowes and maybe a little Living Colour, but their fervent approach to
making music that rocked and 'would reach the heavens', but more importantly, using their talents to
honor and glorify God. I can attest to this as I hang out with these guys everytime they're in Central
Florida. This group of guys are not only musically talented, but fun to catch live as well.
November 15, 2009. A date in which I had looked forward to for quite sometime. It had been a year
since I had seen these guys in concert and a friend of mine decided it was time to put the
'DecembeRadio-less drought' in the past. Kissimmee was the city and The Love Can Tour was what
rolled around this time.
On the tour with DecembeRadio this go around was 7Spin artist, Sevenglory and newcomer and
Sparrow Records artist, Sarah Reeves.
Sarah Reeves started out the show with a few songs off of her debut album, including the song and
title track to her debut CD, "Sweet Sweet Sound", which is also her current radio single. Sarah also
played a few songs from her upcoming record, which is due out in the Spring 2010. I was really
impressed with Sarah's vocal ability and just her stage presence was amazing. She sang through the
songs so effortlessly and took the time to talk between the songs and give praise and honor to the
Lord. I can't wait to see what this young lady has to offer in the future. I see a bright road ahead.
Sevenglory was next to take the stage, and I have to say that they were a group that I had never seen
live before and was highly anticipating watching. They didn't disappoint either. The band started off
the set with a song from their upcoming worship album The Invitation called "So Beautiful". I have
heard 7 of the tracks from their upcoming release and I can tell you that this is an album that you'll
want to pick up. Tentative release date for this album is March 2010. Sevenglory went onto play
"Even The Blues", "The Best Is Yet To Come" and "Show Me The Light" before closing out their set
with my favorite, "Just Me", all which came from their 2007 breakthrough album, Atmosphere. One
song that they didn't play that I was look for was "Let It Be Love". But overall I was very impressed by
these guys. Another example of pure God-given talent.
DecembeRadio of course closed the show out with their mind-blowing set. The guys opened their set
with "Believer", a fan favorite from their most recent release, Satisfied. The next few songs were from
the 2006 self-titled debut, with "Love Found Me (Love's Gotta Hold)" and my favorite, "Live &
Breathe". Next was a brief cover of Kansas' "Carry On Wayward Son", which has become a standard
at any D-Radio show, along with Lenny Kravitz' "Are You Gonna Go My Way".
Halfway through the set, the guys toned it down and brought out some stools to play an acoustic set.
In the acoustic sets were covers of Michael Jackson's "Man In The Mirror" & Steve Winwood's "Higher
Love". Next, the band invited two young members from the crowd, which I am assuming were friends,
to play a few songs. The children, ages ten and twelve took stage and played alongside the band for
a few songs; the first a cover of Miley Cyrus' popular song, "The Climb" and then Extreme's "Whole
Hearted". I was actually quite impressed with the talent that these kids had. It was fun. A "guilty
pleasure" as D-Radio's Josh Reedy put it! :)
The band went on into their second set with a moving version of "Drifter" before covering Brenton
Brown's "Everlasting God". Josh Parsons and Fred Butson of Sevenglory and Sarah Reeves came
out during "Everlasting God" to sing with the band. They stayed on while D-Radio played their current
radio single and song in which the tour is named after, "Love Can". Before exiting the stage,
Sevenglory and Sarah stayed on to sing a very moving version of "Mighty To Save", a song that has
been made immensely popular by artists like Hillsong & Michael W. Smith. Probably my favorite
worship song right now.
DecembeRadio finished out the show with a high-octane, (as usual) show-stopping performance of
"Gasoline" before calling it a night.
All that I can say in close, is if you have the opportunity to see DecembeRadio or even this tour, then
you should go. Out of the dozens of concerts I have attended, not only are these some of the most
rockin', but at the same time very worshipful. I absolutely love these guys and would recommend
anyone to go check them out if they haven't already. You'll be impressed and blessed! ><>
