The Turning is a Christian Band out of
Nashville, Tennessee that plays at various camps, churches,
and just recently performed at Alive 07 Christian Music
Festival in Canal Fulton, Ohio. "Quite possibly the
best show I have seen out here at Alive, and I can't wait to
see them next year." said Chris, a fan of the new
artists who attended the 4 day music festival that featured
such bands as Relient K, Switchfoot, The David Crowder Band,
as well as many other popular artists.
The Turning got its start when, after
several years of playing worship music in their home
churches, Chattanooga, Tenn. residents Matt Warren, Jeff
Goff and Jeremy Little decided to try their hand at modern
rock. The three set to work creating bass/drum/electric
guitar tracks that were musically gripping, and the songs
they crafted would make perfect sense alongside everything
from Delirious to Foo Fighters to Switchfoot. But this
rapidly-developing band knew they needed a frontman.
Enter Jacob McGinnis, an aspiring artist
playing coffeehouses near his Middle Tennessee State
University campus. With one audition McGinnis, who had been
friends with Warren for years, quickly showed that his
compelling voice and incisive writing were laden with the
perfect pop-rock hooks to provide the bands finishing
touches. Five years of touring and recording later, The
Turning is ready to perform its uniquely engaging and
rhythmic modern rock songs on a bigger stage.
The main message we want to spread is that
people should be themselves, says frontman Jacob McGinnis.
In Waking the Dead, author John Eldredge says, let the world
feel the weight of who you are. We want people to tear down
the walls that are often built around their hearts, so that
their hearts can be free, free to be the amazing person that
God created them to be.
Return to Him got the amazing opportunity
to meet this band and support them in every way possible.
They don't just play and perform the words in their music,
but they truly believe and live what they sing. Visit
