2009

The band began when David Crowder from Texarkana, Texas, realized that almost half of the students at Baylor University were not attending church, which he found surprising since it is a Christian university. He and Chris Seay started University Baptist Church (Waco, Texas) in 1995 while he was still a student. Crowder led worship there and continued to do so throughout the year. The church’s congregation grew, as did the band’s lineup.

Crowder began writing songs to incorporate into the worship times at the church and eventually the church released an independent CD, Pour Over Me, followed by All I Can Say in 1999. These CDs brought the band to a wider audience and invitations to festivals and events followed. The band was signed to sixstepsrecords/Sparrow Records and has released six more albums to date (see discography). The band tours the United States continuously, but make it back to their home church in Waco, Texas relatively often. It has been said that Kyle Lake, University Baptist Church’s former pastor and also longtime friend of the band, had a strong influence on the band’s music in terms of content and inspiration both during his life and after his death.

With their September 2005 release, A Collision, David Crowder Band explored a new realm of musical diversity. The album houses a mix of bluegrass, folk, alternative, and worship, woven together with a touch of electronic ambience. This release landed them the #2 spot on the iTunes Music Store and the #39 spot on Billboard 200 only one day after its release.

On the same day as the release of A Collision, their song “Turkish Delight” was released on the Music Inspired by the Chronicles of Narnia compilation CD. This song, which is a reference to the magical Turkish Delight in C. S. Lewis’s book The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, has an old-school disco feel.

On March 19, 2007, the band officially started recording its album titled Remedy, the band also revealed the album’s website, http://www.remedyiscoming.com/, which allows fans to follow the band via live webcams, and discover more about the album. Famously controversial rock musician Ted Nugent made a special guest appearance on the album, on the song “We Won’t Be Quiet”.
Remedy was released on September 25, 2007. The day after its release, it reached #4 on the iTunes Music Store.

On July 16, 2008, the band announced via its website that it would be releasing a brand new live album and DVD set on August 19, 2008. The title was announced as being ‘Remedy Club Tour – Live’, and the cover art was released along with a trailer for the DVD.

On David Crowder’s Xanga entry from January 31, 2009, he mentioned the pre-production of the band’s next studio album. On Mike Hogan’s MySpace entry from March 4, 2009, he confirmed that actual recording and production had commenced and provided directions for getting to the live webcam feed, which is in a page simply titled “Church Music”. This is the name of the new album, being released on September 22, 2009. The first single off the album is a cover of John Mark McMillan’s song “How He Loves”.

David Crowder Band was nominated for three Dove Awards at the 40th Annual Gospel Music Awards and won Special Event Album of the Year – Passion: God of This City.

Congratulations go out to Chris Phillips of Salesianum H.S. (Wilmington, DE) the winner of the Accent Music $200 iMac gift card giveaway!

Dedicated to learning the traditional steel drum music of Trinidad, the group also performs classical, and popular transcriptions.

I got a great guitar (LTD EC-401) that I was looking at for a while, but didn’t have the money. I went to the Accent Music on Kirkwood Highway and they gave me a deal with prices even I could afford. The salesperson was very helpful and knowledgeable. I went back the next week and bought 2 books. Thank you Accent!!!

Hey guys… Just wanted to tell you what a great experience we had at Accent Music Wednesday night. We were at the Kirkwood store and Jase was our salesguy. He did an awesome job for us….so earnest, so aiming to please, literally running through the store to find things for us, very patient with our lack of knowledge and indecision. We found a pre-owned electric bass for Luke, who is one happy guy…or he will be at Christmas when he gets to get his hand on it. Cindy

Jackie Browne has a long career as a professional drummer.  Over the years, he has developed a unique style of playing for venues that have a limited working space for the drummer.  He has been a drum instructor at Accent Music for the last 20 years and has been happy to train many excellent drummers, many who have gone on to careers in music.

We hope you enjoy this clip demonstrating snare technique off of Jackie’s latest instructional CD:
