Güngör
A welcome addition to the Harvest Crusade line-up, Gungor (formerly called the Michael Gungor Band) has been enjoying increased popularity in both mainstream and Christian circles in recent years. Gungor's album Beautiful Things was nominated for a Grammy in both the Best Gospel and Best Rock or Rap Gospel categories. Their Harvest Crusade debut will be sure to please.
Harvest Worship Band
Leading worship at Pastor Greg Laurie's home church (Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside and Orange County California), the Harvest Worship Band is often charged with creating music that illustrates and enhances the themes of Laurie's messages. Such is the case with the band's latest release, "Hope for America." This anthem of hope was written as a theme song of sorts for the premiere of Harvest America, the nationwide proclamation of the gospel originating from Sunday's crusade in Anaheim.
