Bigger than Life!
Our special music will be provided by the band
Genesis is a band that has created a new style of praise and worship music. We have a music style that crosses many mainstream musical genres, from rock to blues, to light jazz and even doo-wop. Highly accented in our music presentation, is the variety of different sounds of our percussion ensemble. Djembe, congas, bongo's, doumbec, and timbales unite to form a rich and dynamic musical explosion! Our songs were written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The words and music give a message of hope, comfort, and promise from the words of Jesus himself. Some of our songs are composed of Bible passages and scriptures.
Presently, we have four members in the band. Genesis has performed at coffee houses, Gospel festivals, fund raisers, and church concerts. Genesis has played at the following locations: Body & Soul coffee house, Jamesburg N.J Belmar Trinity Cafe, Belmar N.J. Hamilton Square Baptist Church ,Trenton N.J.
