Big D & the Good News Blues
Big D's most recent birthday....
Big D's most recent birthday....
Big D & the Good News Blues has been around since 2000.
The members of the band have changed over the years, but Big D and her message have not.
Big D (Denise) was saved (became a Christian) in 1986. She had sung before, but not in public since her last solo in the 4th grade. In her teens Denise was depressed, and became suicidal. It wasn't until she surrendered her life to Jesus Christ that she began to sing, this time with a purpose, to proclaim the Gospel (Good News) in song.
Over the last 22 years Big D has written many songs about this hope and life in Jesus Christ, all for one reason, to see people transformed by this Gospel, which is the power of God to save!
If you come to a Big D concert you'll be sure to hear one theme ringing through every song, the Gospel of Jesus Christ boldly proclaimed....and that without apology.
Romans 1:16
Jonathan is Big D's teenage son and drummer. His experience includes almost two years of worship drumming with his mom, some praise team work with the Christian Reformed Church in Bradenton, and many plugged in and un-plugged concerts with Big D & the Good News Blues.
Someday, to be sure, he would like to play the kind of music he likes, (Relient K, Skillet, etc.) but that day has not yet come:).....however, he does bring some of his style into Big D & the Good News Blues' original music, and that's a good thing:)
God has given Jonathan some natural talent as well as a great drum set to play anytime....it's in the living room:) Big D 's prayer for Jonathan and his drumming is to ALWAYS use what God has given Him for the Lord, always... and to never compromise the Gospel in his life or in his gifts.
