David Crowder Band

The Christian rock and modern worship group David Crowder Band grew out of University Baptist Church, which singer/guitarist Crowder cofounded in 1995 as a student at Baylor University. ∙ Crowder didn't pick up the guitar until college, when he saw DCB lead guitarist Jack Parker playing for kids at a local church and realized how positively they reacted to it. ∙ Their chart-topping 2009 album, Church Music, was designed to play as one continuous song, as they programmed and sequenced so it could continue as an infinite loop. ∙ David Crowder Band was nominated for 18 Dove Awards, of which they won 8. ∙ Starting in 2005, they racked up four consecutive No. 1 releases on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart, and 2012’s Give Us Rest reached No. 2 on the Pop chart. ∙ On the day of the band’s last performance, they wrote one final song, “All This Glory,” which they performed for the 42,000 attendees at the Passion Conference in Atlanta.
