Sanctyfied

The music we play isn't your typical gospel style of music. It is centered around the Classic Rock style of music. My wife and I came from backgrounds that revolve entirely around music. Ever since we both can remember music has been a major part of our lives. My background was Heavy Metal, Hard Rock and Thrash style, while Barbara sang classical and opera. She was a voice major in college, and has sung in many competitions.

We're from opposite sides of the country--she is from Alabama and I am from California. God put us together and then saved us both. Now, He has taken our talents and somehow made us sound good. At least I think so anyway.

The Band. The Testimony. The Music. We have dedicated our lives to reaching the world, and spreading the Gospel through our songs and testimonies.

In 2001 when God spoke to me about playing music again, I thought it was crazy. A week later someone gave me a guitar. Then I found out that my wife and I actually sounded pretty good together as we worshiped God.

As the year 2002 came around the band Sanctyfied was formed. John Walls joined as bass player, and Jake Rose joined as as drummer. God has developed us and brought us a long way. Thank you Jesus.

2003? Dan and Barbara started playing the praise and worship at First Love Ministries in Hemet, CA. which later combined with Hemet Christian Assembly. At the end of 2004 into 2005 Waiting To Fly was finished and radio stations started playing the bands music all over the country. The band started playing many venues throughout Southern Ca. Jake eventually joined the Marines, and John decided to spend more time with family. (Good reason)

Later Sanctyfied picked back up with Johanna Burnham on bass and Shawn Spicher on drums.
The sound was great and they played a few places until Dan and Barbara were called to Tennessee!

2006 came around and we finally listened. We moved to Tennessee, thinking it was over. God placed us in the heart of Nashville, playing singer/songwriter nights throughout Nashville. As the year went on we collaborated over the internet with Derek Close, on bass and some of drum work.
2007 came around, Sanctyfied's CD Flying High was finished.

We decided to head back out west. Flying High was ready to purchase in about 2 weeks before the big move across country.
In the summer of 2007 we came into Washington State, a beautiful state. Churches have welcomed us with open arms. Now? we are Waiting To Fly.
God has something more for us here.
Can't wait to see what happens next.

Sanctyfied.
