A Brief History of UBC Music
While we hold closely to the idea that worship goes beyond singing songs (and everything else we do on Sunday mornings), we have found that music helps us reflect on who we have known God to be, and offers us language to say more about God and faith than we are able to simply speak. Over the years, we have been fortunate to have a talented community of artists under our roof who have gifted us with songs to sing together.
David Crowder was one of the founding pastors of UBC and led the way in creating a music culture of artistic freedom and in-house songwriting. David Crowder* Band served UBC through playing music and writing songs until 2011. David Crowder* Band ended in January 2012, but Dave has continued to make music as Crowder.
After David Crowder* Band came to an end 2012, Mark, Mike, Jack, and Bwack from DC*B started making music as The Digital Age. They have released 2 EP's, and 2 full-length albums.
In mid-2011, Tye Barrett began his tenure as Worship & Arts Pastor. Tye and his band The Gladsome Light gifted UBC in many ways; one of which was through writing “Wayward Ones,” which we still sing while taking communion. You can keep up with what Tye is up to here.
UBC has also been fortunate over the years to have a host of other musicians lend their talents to our music, including: Dutton, Griffin Kelp, Jillian Edwards, Haley Barnes, and Lomelda. (and so many more).
