The Message
ATLANTA (W.) Feb. 22, 2008 -- "Casting Crowns" is the hottest Christian concert ticket in town these days, securing six Dove nominations and their latest album, "The Altar and the Door" going Gold in 10 days.
Chris Huffman admits, he was just glad to have some new songs to play when the album came out last summer. The Alter followed the successful debut album "Casting Crowns" and "Lifesong."
WordNews.org had an exclusive with bassist Huffman who gives some insight into what its like to be in the band everyone's talking about.
"We're excited to have some new songs to play," Huffman said. "When the traveling kind of wears you out, that the only time when we get a little tired of the songs."
Huffman continues: "but even then it's just the music part. Even in those times when we're tired the message is kind of slapping us in the face, reminding us who we're playing for."
It's the difference between being a musician and a Christian musician.
"Every musician has a desire to play in front of people or be able to share their talents with people around them," Huffman said. "But it’s definitely a good reminder to us, no matter how tired we can be, it reminds us to keep our heads straight and why we get to tour."
Check in next Friday for the next installment of Fridays with ... Casting Crowns.
