Bio
Using one word to describe a band would usually be challenging, but with B.F.R. it is easy. That one word is “unconventional”. The innovative repertoire is unconventional. The instrumentation, the arrangements, and the stage presentation are all unconventional. In the spirits of Johann Sebastian Bach, Thomas Dorsey, Sam Cooke, and Andrae Crouch, this band will CHANGE conventions, traditions and customs while keeping the pure Gospel message completely intact. Here, musical instruments from the world over are used in obedience to Psalms’ command “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!”
Following the Apostle Paul’s lead, this group is becoming all things to all men that they may save some. Even the CD, “Some West Coast Praise”, employs many different modes of expression to assemble a work that is palatable to a wide variety of musical tastes. Rather than reinforcing walls, B.F.R. seeks to remove barriers.
The Bible Faith Remnant never disappoints when ministering live either. The versatile and seasoned singers along with the accomplished musicians delight audiences from nearly any demographic.
Consequently, the band participated in the San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival. This is the first Christian group to play at this prestigious festival in its 32 years history. The word “unconventional” again comes to mind. In the Spring, B.F.R. participated at the Cherry Blossom Festival in Japantown, San Francisco, CA.
The year 2015 should prove to be an exhilarating time for B.F.R. With the album “Some West Coast Praise” coming into full bloom, and the band receiving exposure from a spectrum of new venues, only God knows how far things will develop for the Bible Faith Remnant!
