Classic Petra Resurrection with special guest Russ Taff
Celebrating over 50 years together, “the fathers of contemporary Christian music”, Classic PETRA Resurrection (aka C.P.R.), is back! This 4-time Grammy Award, 9-time Dove Award-winning band has sold nearly 10 million records and will be rocking the house. C.P.R. Band features the stellar voice of Greg X. Volz. This is one show you don’t want to miss!
Rising to prominence with The Imperials, trailblazers of the contemporary Christian music movement, Taff is the voice behind such quintessential hits as “Praise the Lord,” “Trumpet of Jesus,” and “I’m Forgiven,” among many others. His trademark emotion-drenched vocals brought him to the attention of Bill Gaither, and his appearances in the Gaither Homecoming video series and tour expanded his audience into the Southern Gospel field, including a three year stint as a member of the renowned Gaither Vocal Band.
But it was Taff’s solo career that captured the imagination of the industry with an eclectic series of innovative works that reflected his musical heritage while pushing the boundaries of Contemporary Christian Music. He drew from all genres— rock, pop, blues, southern gospel, black gospel, country and even big band. Critically acclaimed recordings such as Medals, Russ Taff and Under Their Influence featured the classic singles “We Will Stand,” “I Cry,” “Not Gonna Bow” and “Farther On.”
