In my time at Cornerstone I have become a HUGE fan of the Robbie Seay Band. I literally love every song I have ever heard them play. His voice is unique, and their writing is beautifully transparent and honest. His latest release is called Miracle, and came out in March of 2010. This is one of the few albums that I own that I cannot seem to get tired of. From start to finish, it [...]

If you’ve been going to Cornerstone for a while, you’ve probably heard of our friends Future of Forestry. They are one of the best bands working right now, and if you have had the privilege of seeing them perform live, you know why! They are some of the most passionate musicians, and it shows in their performances. They released an EP of Christmas music in 2008, and now in 2010, they have released Part II! [...]

I saw them play a show in Tempe about two months ago, and it is hands down my favorite concert I have ever been to. Needtobreathe has such a unique sound, and if you give them a chance, I promise you, you’ll love it. The Outsiders is their newest project [...]
