Access

So, Rudy Vaughn and I were in the band at Access Church in Jacksonville yesterday.  Rudy led worship.  Access Church is in a great venue, the Fine Arts Center of the University of North Florida campus.

 

We’d never met the other three guys in the band before, but they were interesting cats:

 

Mike VonBalson, of Jacksonville, used to be the drummer for the band My Hotel Year, who were no strangers to the Atlanta music scene and worked here with producer Matt Goldman of Smalltown Poets.

 

Will Hill on bass is a part of The Doorpost Film Project, which is a pretty exciting opportunity for filmmakers.  

 

Darin Peckham on guitar is now on staff as the music director for Access Church.

 

And, though he wasn’t on stage with us, we met a local musician who gigs a lot in Jacksonville/St. Augustine named Charlie Walker.  Check him out.

 

Finally, we met Derrick (spelling? sorry, man) of Anthem Church, a new Northpoint startup campus in Gainesville FL that launches October 5th.

 

These were good guys and we had a blast.  Hats off to all of them and to Access Church, who hosted us extremely well.
