1 John 4:9 God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him.
Hey everyone! Are you enjoying the morning today? Yes, it's a bit gloomy, but it also could give you a warm, cozy feeling. This is the kind of weather that makes me want to stay in my room, with a good cup of coffee and a very good book to read. :-)
So, you want to know what's coming up this month? I'll tell you what's coming up this month! Have you ever heard of the organization, Operation Christmas Child? It's pretty awesome. It is sponsored by Samaritan's Purse, and what Operation Christmas Child does is they basically give presents to children all around the world who are in need. These presents are created by you and are delivered in shoeboxes! All you need to do is to gather small toys and items suitable for children (no toy guns, knives, or war-like items please!), put them in the shoebox, and deliver the shoebox to your church or another drop-off location. Chick-Fil-A will be a drop-off spot for shoeboxes until November 17. And if you drop your shoebox at Chick-Fil-A you will receive a coupon for a free chicken sandwich! There are other specifics about the shoeboxes though. Here's a list for you: TOYS small cars, balls, dolls, stuffed animals, kazoos, harmonicas, yo-yos, jump ropes, small Etch A Sketch®, toys that light up or make noise (with extra batteries), Slinky®, etc.
SCHOOL SUPPLIES pens, pencils and sharpener, crayons or markers, stamps and ink pad sets, writing pads or paper, solar calculators, coloring and picture books, etc.
HYGIENE ITEMS toothbrush, toothpaste, mild bar soap (in a plastic bag), comb, washcloth, etc.
OTHER Hard candy and lollipops (please double bag all candy), mints, gum, T-shirts, socks, ball caps; sunglasses, hair clips, toy jewelry, watches, flashlights (with extra batteries)
A PERSONAL NOTE In a separate envelope, you may enclose a note to the child and a photo of yourself or your family. (If you include your name and address, the child may write back.)
DO NOT INCLUDE: Used or damaged items; war-related items such as toy guns, knives or military figures; chocolate or food; out-of-date candy; liquids or lotions; medications or vitamins; breakable items such as snowglobes or glass containers; aerosol cans
Plus, there's this really nifty gadget on the Operation Christmas Child website where you can track where your box goes to! All you have to do is make your $7 donation through EZ Give, you'll receive a special label in an email, and with the label is a barcode! Withthe barcode you will be able to see where your box goes! How cool is that?!

And speaking of Barlow Girl, I'm about to post their video "Beautiful Ending" in a different post, because youtube disabled the embedding code. :-) Have you seen it before? It's going to give you some chills!

So, to get you introduced toManic Drive, here's a video of their song "Walls". Enjoy!!
Have you ever lost someone that you loved? Recently, I've been hearing of people losing their loved ones, and I know how devastating it can be. Just know that God is right there with you through this terrible time, and He actually does know what you're going through. There are several Christian music artists who understand this pain too, and they have written songs to help others with this kind of heartbreak too, two of them are Jeremy Camp and Steven Curtis Chapman.
Jeremy Camp wrote "Walk by Faith" and "I Still Believe" during his first wife's battle with cancer and death.
Steven Curtis Chapman tragically lost his five-year-old daughter Maria in 2008 in a terrible accident. Chapman has written several songs abut his family's loss on his newest album "Beauty Will Rise".
Chasen's song "Airplanes" is written by Chasen Callahan as he dealt with the loss of a friend. Here is their song, "Airplanes" from youtube.
Hey everyone! So sorry that we haven't been posting on the blog at all lately. But, we're back & ready to talk about anything and everything music! (And then some...)

Hey guys, Intern Stone here. The summer hasn't even begun yet and there's all kinds of awesome stuff coming up. This past weekend Needtobreathe had two concerts at the Music Farm and from what I heard both shows were pretty epic! This friday is easily going to be just as epic as this past weekend thanks to Casting Crowns and Tenth Avenue North performing at the North Charleston Coliseum. Not only that, but we're having a fun game of Radioke before the doors open and the winner gets not only a free pair of tickets, but also backstage passes! So warm up those vocal chords and get ready to belt out some of your favorite wayfm songs!
Just to give you a taste of what Radioke's going to be like, here's "Hero" by Skillet.

NEEDTOBREATHE will be at the Charleston Music Farm this Saturday (4/17) and Sunday (4/18)! Tickets are $18 at the door. The show starts at 8:30pm.

Enjoy!
Hey guys, Intern Stone here. Just thought I'd let you all know that Chasen is currently being featured as their "Discovery Download". This means that if you go into itunes and look at their free to download section, you'll be able to download their song "Castaway". You will need to have an account with itunes in order to download it, but they are free and if you go to the itunes website you can find instructions on how to get an account without having to give any credit card information or anything like that. In the free download section they do also have free to download episodes of some tv programs, behind the scenes specials for some tv shows and movies, they usually also have something similar to their "Discovery Download" that just features music videos. So if you haven't gotten an account with itunes yet, the free Chasen download is a really good excuse to do so.
The temperatures are warming up, the skies are clearing, the noisy canadian geese and flying back up north, and the flowers are well in bloom. That means that it is once again time for the Flowertown Festival in Summerville, South Carolina. Of course, what's a big social function without the one and only 100.9 Way-FM there, but we need your help. We're going to be there all weekend long: Friday and Saturday from 9am to 5pm and Sunday from 9am to 4pm; and we need help with running the table.
So, I have to ask. Do you think you could handle hanging out with a bunch of radio folks sometime this weekend and have a blast at the Flowertown Festival?
Haha, Intern Stone was right, Faith & Fun Night was a total blast! This is Intern Anna and I was able to be at the concert and work the merch. table. Group 1 Crew was a very lively bunch. Their energy and emotion they put into their songs and performances is fantastic. They are also very friendly people. :-) And don't even get me started on the merchandise table! We sold out of all the cd's G1C brought AND we sold out of their posters long before the line for meet & greet died down. It was a huge chaotic mess, but everyone had a lot of fun! Group 1 Crew's concert is definitely a great concert to be at. If you missed it, make sure you catch them next time they are in town!
So, what's new? Well, if you haven't heard it, the Charleston Battery soccer season is well under-way. WAY-FM has attended a few games live, and boy, we have a lot of fun! We like to give away tickets to the games, so keep up with our facebook to see when we give tickets away. There's a game tomorrow, March 20 at 5pm. We hope you go and supprt the Battery!
Have you heard of Fireflight? They are the band in our music spotlight right now. If you haven't heard of them by now, we are very surprised. This band is on the road right now with the WinterJam tour spectacular. They've had quite a few singles on the radios, including "Unbreakable" and their latest, "Desperate". The band consists of Dawn Michele, Justin Cox, Wendy Drennen, Glenn Drennen, and Rob Hawkins. To learn more about this awesomely fantastic band, you can visit their myspace page at http://www.myspace.com/fireflight or you can visit their website at http://www.fireflightrock.com/index.php
And now, here is a video from Fireflight. This is their new single, "Desperate". Enjoy!
Wow...Intern Stone here, unfortunately I had to miss the Faith and Fun night with the Stingrays and Group One Crew, but from everyone's been saying, it sounds like it was a great time! I'm posting a few pictures that some of you took while at the concert. Special thanks to the Stingrays for hosting Faith and Fun night and to Group One Crew for coming out.
What is Faith & Fun Night? It's a night where family and friends can get together for a Stingrays hockey game AND a concert with Dove-award winning hip-hop band, Group 1 Crew! We're really excited about and we hope that you are too! Faith & Fun Night will take place on March 13 at the North Charleston Coliseum. The hockey game (Kelly Cup Champions, South Carolina Stingrays vs. the Florida Everblades)will start at 5pm and the concert with Group 1 Crew will follow when the game is finished. Hope to see you there!!
For fans of Matthew West, he just recently filmed the music video for his single "Save A Place For Me" on his latest record "Something To Say". West is really excited about the video because he wanted it to portray the emotion and story of the song, and he thinks that is exactly what the video does. West also shares a link on his website to another website people can go to so they can share their story on why the song has so much meaning to them. The website link is http://matthewwest.com/save-a-place-for-me/ Here's the video for "Save A Place For Me". Enjoy!
Hey everybody! We hope you had fun at WinterJam! We definitely had a blast. :-) Well, if you're looking for some MORE fun, there's a pretty awesome event going on this weekend! SNOWFEST 2010 is taking place tomorrow, Feb. 20, at Faith Assembly in Summerville from 10am-3pm. SnowFest is an event that will have live entertainment, inflatables, a snow pit, and an 8-foot-tall snow slide! Here's the ticket prices: $2 for General Admission, $6 (early) for the snow, and $8 at the gate. All proceeds from SnowFest 2010 are going to go to the Haiti Earthquake Disaster Relief fund! You will also need money for food, beverages, smores kits, facepainting, and there will also be donation collections going on for Haiti. SnowFest is going to be awesome and we hope to see you there!!
There's one more event you need to be aware of! On March 13, Group 1 Crew will be in concert at the North Charleston Coliseum after the Stingrays Hockey game for Way-Fm's Faith & Fun Night! The game is at 5pm against the Florida Everblades, and the concert will follow immediately after! Tickets prices are: Riser-$20, Lower Level-$17, Upper Level- $12
So, we're pretty sure you'll have a blast at both these events, so make sure you don't miss either one of them! Here's Group 1 crew's song "Our Time". Enjoy!
WinterJam 2010 is coming to North Charleston! We've already let you know about what's going on, but we're so excited about it, we're posting a blog post all about it! So, what is WinterJam? It's a "spectacular" concert that tours around the country during the winter months! It's hosted by NewSong and has been in existence for a little more than 10 years! Christian artists from all over, including TobyMac, Matthew West, Hawk Nelson, Brandon Heath, Francesca Batistelli, and Building 429 (just to name a few of them)have been involved with Winter Jam.

The pre-jam session starts at 5:20, and the lights go down for the show at 6pm! And, guess what? Tickets are only $10 at the door!!! How cool is that? So, we hope to see you there!

Hello everyone! So, you've heard about Jeremy Camp, Chasen, The Afters, and now it's time for you to get to know a little about Jason Gray.
"One of the first things you should know about me is that I suffer from a speech handicap known as stuttering. But instead of it being a liability, I've found it to be a great asset in the work I do." -Jason Gray (from his myspace page)
Jason Gray is grew up in Minnesota and was involved in youth ministry before he became a music artist. Jason is not only a Christian music singer, her is also an avid volunteer and promoter of World Vision's Hope Initiative, which helps children who were orphaned because of their parents dying of AIDS in Africa. He has had a few albums released, including "The Singer & The Song", "A Place Called Hope", "The Better Part Of Me", "All The Lovely Losers", and the most recent, "Everything Sad Is Coming Untrue".
We hope to see you at the concert to hear not only the well-known artists, but also less-known, but equally awesome Jason Gray!
Remember that the concert is at 7pm and doors open at 6pm at Faith Assembly on Jan 20! Also, we need your help unloading and loading stuff before & after the concert. If you are interested, please let us know! You'll get into the concert for free for helping us!
This is a video of Jason Gray performing his song "More Like Falling In Love" at a visit to KLRC Studios
Wow, Intern Stone here, I don't know if you've been outside yesterday or today, but the weather is awesome! Not really hot, not cold, but plenty of sun. On top of all that, we're having our first concert of the year this week and I am totally stoked about that.
So we've heard some about Jeremy Camp, and some about Chasen, so here's some info that you might not know about The Afters.
The Afters started up in Mesquite, Texas where lead vocalist Josh Havens and vocalist/guitarist Matt Fuqua worked together at a Starbucks and planned on putting a band together. They recruited Marc Dodd and Brad Wigg and began touring under the name "Blisse". They changed their name to "The Afters" once they realized there was an other band also going by "Blisse".
They signed to INO Records around 2002 and released their debut album "I Wish we all Could Win". The first single from the album, "Beautiful Love" won a "Streaming Woodie" award from MTVu and was used for the theme song to "8th and Ocean" and was also featured in the movie "Just My Luck".
In 2006, they released their latest album, "Never Going Back to OK". The first single from this album, also called "Never Going Back to OK" was first released on Total Axxess with Wally back in 2007 and R&R magazine ranked it as the most played song on U.S. Christian CHR radio in 2008.
They've also released a number of other singles that are also quite good. Among them are "Myspace Girl" and the single for this video, "Ocean Wide".
Ok, so we just gave you a little info about Mr. Camp, and now it's time for a little get-to-know-Chasen time! Chasen is a band from Greenville, SC (yeah, they're natives of the great SC!). The band consists of frontman Chasen Callahan on guitar & vocals, Evan Silver on guitar & background vocals, Aaron Lord on drums, and Jared Barber on bass and background vocals. Callahan got started in music as a worship pastor at his church and also playing at camps and conferences. After going through temporary band members, Callahan joined forces with Silver and Lord. In 2009, Barber joined the bunch! Chasen has had a few hit singles on the radio, "Drown", "Crazy Beautiful", and the newest, "On and On". Callahan writes songs from his own experiences as well as experiences from friends, family, and collaborations with others. The concert is at Faith Assembly in Summerville on Jan. 20 at 7pm (doors open at 6!). We need your help, though. We need volunteers to help set up and take down equipment and such before and after the concert. If you would like to help us out (which we would appreciate ever so much!) just email us, facebook us, and/or call us! Oh, and did we mention that if you help us out, you get free admission into the concert? :-) So, please, help! Thanks, guys! Here's a little video of Chasen. Enjoy!
Hey guys! The Jeremy Camp - The Afters - Chasen - Jason Gray concert is quickly approaching. We want to remind you that we need some volunteers to help out with the unloading and reloading of equipment before and after the concert. If you volunteer, you get into the concert for free! If you're interested, just let us know, by emailing us! We hope to see you there! So, since this concert is coming up, we're gonna let you know a little bit about the artists every so often (in case you didn't know about them....), starting with Jeremy Camp! Jeremy has had sixteen #1 singles, five Dove Awards, three ASCAP Writer of the Year awards, and an AMA nomination. Some of his songs include "I Still Believe", "Walk By Faith", "Take You Back", "Lay Down My Pride", "This Man", "There Will Be A Day", "Speaking Louder Than Before", and a ton more! Jeremy has touched the lives of many, many people through his music and his own personal experiences. He's been through a lot, but God has taken the bad and turned it into good. Jeremy is passionate about many things, such as loving others, sharing our Christian faith, and realizing how important the Bible is in our daily lives. He also has a campaign going on called Speak Up, Speak Now, Speak Loud. "It's an agenda without an agenda. The Speak Up comes from Paul saying, 'I didn't come to you with persuasive words, the Holy Spirit did the work.' It's not about what you can do on your own power. God just wants us to spend time with Him and have a willing heart. Speak Now comes from the urgency of the scary times we live in. Lastly, Speak Loud challenges us to hear loud this declaration from out across the nations where people are crying out. It's not about volume, it's about the substance behind what we're saying." (from jeremycamp.com) So, there you have it, a little glimpse into who Jeremy Camp is and where he's coming from! We hope you get to make it to the concert on January 22, at Faith Assembly in Summerville. Here's a video for you of one of Jeremy Camp's songs! Enjoy!
