The group has sold more than 5 million records.
Casting Crowns
The band’s big, powerful songs are well-known to anyone who listens to Christian radio stations in the United States. They include “East To West,” “Who Am I?,” “Voice of Truth,” “Lifesong,” and this song, one of their biggest hits, “Praise You In This Storm.”
Casting Crowns was formed in 1999 in Florida by Mark Hall, its lead singer and songwriter. Most of its members are now based in Georgia. And, as Mark Hall noted during the show I attended, he and the other members still work Sunday through Wednesday as clergymen. The band considers its performances an extension of what they do during the week.
I spoke with Casting Crowns guitarist and singer Juan DeVevo about why the group decided to play an acoustic tour. He said they wanted to perform their hit songs, but with more emphasis on the words and less on the music. He said playing acoustic style in smaller places lets the members talk about the songs and why they were written.
What is the best part about an acoustic tour? His answer: the chairs. “We can sit down,” he says with a laugh.
We leave you now with the acoustic version of the song you heard earlier -- “Praise You in This Storm” from Casting Crowns’ “The Acoustic Sessions: Volume One.”
