Brandon Gilliam

This weekend was really great.  On Saturday night my band and I had the opportunity to open up for Matt Maher at The Underground.  I really love playing at The Underground.  Its a great place, great atmosphere, and the staff members are super cool.  I felt like it was a really good night.  Matt Maher was really good live – and I think there were like around 900 or so folks in attendance.  If any of you were at the show and you didn’t get a chance to get over and check out some of our Tshirts and CD’s, you can go here to check them out.  Just click HERE!

And if all that wasn’t enough, we had an incredible day at Rivers Crossing.  I really love my Church.  I love our staff.  Im thankful that I get to do ministry with these folks.  God is on the move.  Pastor Paul gave a crazy statistic this morning.  Of about 20 churches that have been started in our area (I think like 5-10 mile radius) in the last 10 years, only 3 remain.  So, we don’t take this move of God in our House for granted.

Here are the set lists from this weekend (Click on the song to open up iTunes if you’re interested in getting it)

Man.  What a Weekend.  Me and the guys loaded the trailer early on Friday morning in the snow/rain and headed down to the Carolinas.  When we arrived in Greenville, SC – it was 65 degrees and we had our windows down.  Yea.

We played at The Channel on Friday night.  The band Saint Lewis opened up for us.  We played a 12 song set which included songs off of my album and some other worship songs.  It was a great night.  A lot of my family came out to see us play and Jay (owner of The Channel) was super cool and man that place has some stellar burgers.  Dang.  They are legit.  I hope to be back soon.

After The Channel, we loaded up and headed up to the Asheville NC area and we led at a Student Conference on Saturday night called Solid Rock One Day.  Great event put on by some great people.  I really loved the flow of this conference.  All in all, we played 3 different worship sets that night and played around 12 songs again.  The energy in that room was great and the students responded really well.  Their were even students who accepted Christ – and well, you can’t beat that.  On our way back to the hotel we stopped at a gas station to get some necessities – skittles, drinks, laffy taffy…you know.  When I went to checkout I noticed they had a flyer on their counter promoting the Night of Worship the following night.  It was kind of funny, a little awkward, and very random.  But nonetheless we were thankful that it was being promoted in the community.

On Sunday night we played at Antioch Baptist Church in Waynesville, NC.  We did sort of the same format as Friday night.  Played about 12 songs with a mix of original songs off of my album and other songs as well.  Great night too.  Then we packed up and headed home.  I finally got in my bed last night at about 4:15 AM.

It was a great weekend and we were very thankful to be able to travel and lead.  Thanks for having us!

A couple housekeeping notes:

1)  If you weren’t able to get an album or a shirt at one of the events this past weekend, we have it all for sale on my website (http://brandongilliam.com/site/store/) and you can get the album on iTunes as well.  

2)  If you’re interested in having us come down and lead at any of your events, camps, etc.  Please contact us we’d love to come and worship with you.  Click here to fill out a contact form!

Check out some pics below from the weekend.

Im so excited about this weekend.  Me and the guys will be heading down to North and South Carolina to lead worship at several different places.  Im thankful that I have a Pastor and a Church that sends us out every now and then and allows us to go and lead in other environments and contexts.  I don’t take that for granted.  So, thank you Pastor Paul and Rivers Crossing for your Kingdom mindset.

Here is kind of the run down of the weekend.  Im attaching some links to Facebook and Flyers below so you can have more information.  I would LOVE your help in getting the word out.  Its been a while since I’ve played in the Greenville, SC area so Im hoping to see a lot of my friends and family.

Firework – Katy Perry
Paradise – Coldplay

Alright guys so here is a video that I think I’ve posted about before, but I wanted to post again for all the new folks coming to join us here on this website.  Here is a video of my current Pedalboard setup.  I sent everything down to Motley Customs and had him set it all up for me with all custom cables and so forth.  He did an incredible job, so check him out if you’re wanting your pedal board to look and sound great!  Im going to be talking to my guitarist, Robbie Householder, and getting him to do a video of his setup as well.  He gets great tone and has even started making his own pedals, so I guess his engineering degree is already paying off.

Man, what an incredible day today at Rivers Crossing.  An awesome start to the new year.  I think it was the largest, non-holiday attendance we’ve had at Rivers Crossing.  It was packed.  The best is yet to come.
