Casting Crowns Concert!

 Hundreds of people gathered in the RBC Center in Raleigh, North Carolina to worship and see their favorite bands. The audience was inspired by the lead singer of Casting Crowns, Mark Hall, as he shared his mission work in Africa, his efforts to help the community, and of course his amazing vocals. Casting Crowns is a band that is made up of a group of Christians that travel on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday to share a their talents, and then serve in their hometown church for the rest of the week. The band members all work in the youth department in Georgia, and said that they all started in that church, and just because they are famous doesn't mean they are going to leave their hometown. The commitment and faith that this band has is obvious in their performance and in the way they witness to others.


The opening acts for Casting Crowns included new inspiring artist Royal Tailor and Lindsey McCaul, as well as Matthew West. They all shared their personal testimonies and drew in the audience with captivating songs. Royal Tailor is a newer Christian band that has released one CD entitled "Black&White". It is full of hit up beat songs, including "Make a Move" and "Control". There main idea of the album was how to live in a world full of sin and fleshly desires, and taking a stand for what you believe is true. Their music overall pumped up the audience with loud and hip-hop jams, while Lindsey McCaul's music was more of quite worship blend. The contrast of the two young inspiring opening acts was perfect and with Matthew West wrapping it up before the Casting Crowns hit the stage gave a good overall variety in music.


The concert was seen by many and was a major hit in the Raleigh area. Some of the audience members shared that they will defiantly be returning to another Crowns concert in the future because they had such an amazing experience. Casting Crowns just released their newest CD "Until the Whole World Hears" in 2011 and they are already planning for another album soon.
