Deep Water Band is a new name for this Christian band, formerly known as Full Circle, also as Brad Brown & Friends, and most recently as Brad Brown and Freedom. Their different and unique sound is the product of their powerful backgrounds in Southern Gospel, Black Gospel, Country, Classic Rock, Jazz. Realizing that as Christians we are instructed to head for deep water and become fishers of men, the band’s main focus as a ministry group is to be “effective only for Him.” Described as ‘Gospel music with a twist,’ enjoy them here at The Patch for their “progressive LIVE Southern Gospel music.”

Me-N-Him have gone through a transition or two as a band for over 30 years now. Starting with a chance acquaintance at a mutual friend’s wedding back in the mid-70’s, this duo band has become a highly sought-after acoustic country music sound. They claim they have grown OLDER, but not necessarily UP. Well, we know they’ve definitely grown INTO the premier talent that captures an audience, by flawlessly belting out classics by the likes of Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson – just to name a few. Don’t miss their single appearance here at TGPP this season.
