Performing this year...
3:16
The band 3:16 was formed in May 2007 when Josh Schneider,
Kim Scherber, K.C. Lu, Jake Branstad, and Zach Johnson all
mutually decided we wanted to use our musical talents to rock
out for Jesus Christ at the Clear Lake’s Pops Concert. Since
then, “the group” eventually evolved into a permanent band
with the addition of Chris Phalen through our shared love and
appreciation for Jesus and the joy we find in praising his name.
Since the Pops Concert, we’ve played for small gigs around the
area for benefits like the Halfway to Heaven Scholarship Bicycle Ride in September 2009, local churches, the Opportunity
Village in Clear Lake, Four Oaks in Mason City, and Bash on
the Farm in 2010.

A Plea for Purging
A Plea For Purging have
added another phenomenal album to their legacy with The Marriage
of Heaven and Hell. A
terrifyingly honest look
at the age old wolfin-sheep’s-clothing
theme, The Marriage of
Heaven and Hell is also
an auditory thrill. Plea continue to edge out the competition in
their unique metal genre niche by offering a genuinely original follow up album to 2009’s Depravity with The Marriage of
Heaven and Hell.
A Wretched Betrayal
Formed in mid 2006 “A Wretched Betrayal” hails from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. releasing an E.P. right off the get go, the
band hasen’t been slowing down ever since, writing, recording
and playing around the midwest with many national acts and
local acts alike, over the past few years member changes have
made the band the solid musical act we know them as today,
now signed with Christain Music record lable “Raging Storm
Records” the band plans to unleash a musical assault on metal
fans everywhere.
Barlow Girl
A Rotterdam November
A Past Unknown
After releasing their 2010 demo a year ago, A Past Unknown
is looking to release their full length album. Recorded by Jamie King, (For Today, Alesana, Between the Buried and Me)
at The Basement Studio in North Carolina, the album captures
the heavy and melodic presence with emotion filled lyrics striving to show the world what hope is truly about with the power
and love of Jesus Christ. Expect this album to be released late
spring/early summer.
What will captivate you is the convergence and intensity of
the collective musical experience. One critic had this to say,
“...fans have...stuck with them...what got these fans hooked is
the sounds of A Rotterdam November, an album chock full of
rock ballads and edgy, yet radio friendly, power pop (Scott Fryberger).” What’s up with the name? Well, Rotterdam is a city in
the Netherlands where the downtown was destroyed by bombing during WWII. At that time, Rotterdam was nicknamed, “the
city without a heart.” However, the citizens rallied to replace the
destruction with a new downtown and the city was reborn with
a new “heart.” Metaphorically speaking, Rotterdam became an
old city with a new heart. Translating this analogy to the human
experience is at the core of the band.
BarlowGirl made their
self-titled debut in 2004,
and in just five short
years, have achieved
notable success in both
the Christian and mainstream markets. The
three sisters, Rebecca,
Alyssa, and Lauren Barlow, have sold over one million albums,
received ten Dove nominations, claimed the longest #1 single
at 13 weeks in Christian Radio Weekly chart history with their
mega-hit, “I Need You To Love Me,” released two consecutive
#1 singles from their sophomore project, Another Journal Entry, won Yahoo! Music “Who’s Next” user’s choice promotion;
been featured on NBC’s Today Show and the Associated Press,
and have appeared on Joyce Meyer’s TV program.

Catalyst
Blank Page Empire
Coming from the Twin Cities Blank Page Empire has be going
strong and not giving up, spreading the word of Christ love,
have fun and making friends. make sure not to miss them.
Catylyst is a hard hitting, Christian Power Rock band from
Southwest Minnesota. Forming
in September of 2009, they’ve
played shows throughout Minnesota and Iowa, including the Club
3 Degrees contest in Minneapolis. With a slew of modern rock
band influences including Red,
Chevelle, Skillet, and The Classic Crime, Catylyst is poised to take the Midwest by storm with
their aggressive, guitar driven sound.
Boiling Point
Children 18:3
Passionate vocals and
memorable guitar hooks
set Boiling Point apart
from the status quo. More
importantly, what keeps
people coming back is
the band’s emotional
depth and willingness to
be real with their fans,
through their songs and
in their live performances. Boiling Point’s music harnesses the
fun, exciting parts of life, but is not afraid to explore the deeply
challenging parts. Energetic songs like “Miss Everything Zen”
and “Try” mix with emotionally raw and haunting songs like
“Symphony of It All” and “Rules of the Broken.
We See More In Your Fields
The players: three siblings, each possessing
complimentary skill of
extraordinary potential.
The result: an undeviable
sound backed by an undeniably unique persona.
On Rains A Comin’ these
three Minnesotans don’t
just pull from their deepest cores to craft singalongs in excess, but they
do it with the patented
personality and genuine
emotion that is so vacant
in the current context of
popular rock music
Chris Sligh
In these days of manufactured celebrity, it takes a lot to stand
out from the cookie-cutter crowd. It takes someone with real
talent, guts, charisma, and maybe a wardrobe that won’t earn
him a GQ spread anytime soon. Someone, that is, like Chris
Sligh. Problem is, there isn’t anyone “like Chris Sligh” except
for Chris Sligh. And that, of course, is the point. If you watched
him rock it and sock it back to American Idol on Season 6, or
riff with Jay Leno and Little Richard on The Tonight Show,
you know that you will never, ever forget him. For Chris Sligh
is a genuine original, blessed with a golden voice, a style of
songwriting that communicates even as it defies the commercial
“rules,” and a world view that encompasses edgy humor, rebelliousness, and rocksolid faith.
Cord of 3
Inside
the
heart of each
member is
a core value
they all share
in the group
called Cord
of 3, and that
is a passion
to
change
lives. In this
world’s rat race to find a chance to be individually unique. Cord
of 3 takes a step above the bell curve of today’s music industry’s
message of death, destruction, and pain with no hope of a solution, and points their listeners towards life, hope, and the saving
grace of Jesus Christ.

and blues instrumentals in the vein of Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson, and Steve Vai, the band also performs their original vocal tunes with a “Skillet meets Flyleaf” style featuring bassist/
vocalist Barbe Paris, drummer Robert Yoder has been with the
band since 2007. The group has performed at clubs, fairs and
festivals, and is a recurring act at the Northwest Iowa Christian
music festival Bash on the Farm. As they combine their technical precision and jam band approach with socially and Biblically-influenced tunes, audiences have been inspired, impressed,
and entertained with the group’s melody and versatility. October 2010 marks the release of their six-song project “Words and
Music”, available at www.daveparis.com, at their concerts, and
several online retailers.
Double J Rap
I am a guy that God took from drowing in
my own way of life. God took an average
guy from Iowa and promised to make him
into something extraordinary. Never expected that to be a white rapper for Jesus.
I am changed and remade for building the
kingdom for Christ.
Dying Truth
Dying Truth is a rising Christian rock
band that is dedicated in reaching
the masses for Jesus
with their music.
They have played

is what they were meant to do and they put all they have into
their music.
Elizabeth Rasmuson
My name is Elizabeth Rasmuson. I grew up in Garner Iowa and
now live in Belmond Iowa. I have been involved in music and
the arts my entire life. Singing and playing the guitar are a big
part of my life. I really got interested in art freshman year and
last year I made my prom dress out of gum wrappers. This year I
made my winter formal dress out of tootsie roll wrappers. I have
talked to some candy companies and they are sending me prod-
ucts for my newest project. I have started a line of dresses and
vests for different organizations. Breast cancer, cystic fibrosis,
and suicide/self mutilation are some of the first ones to be done.
I love showing teens what life is worth and how great it can be
through my dresses and my music!

The Savvy
Tay Wilson

is new to being a solo artist, is no stranger to the
music scene. Playing in
CCM rock band ‘3 Days
till Sunrise’ for 7 years allowed Tay the opportunity
to record 2 full-length albums, tour the Midwest,
and grow as a musician
and believer. With ž of
the original ‘3 Days till
Sunrise’ members of getting married, Tay began
to dream in a different
direction. With the vision clear, he surrounded
himself with experienced
rockers in both the CCM
and Mainstream music
scenes- acquiring Producers Mark Alan Schoolmeesters and
Eric Arjes. Mark has had a successful career as an indie musician and producer, and Eric has found success as front man and
songwriter for Atlantic Records band ‘Camera Can’t Lie’. Once
the tunes were situated, Tay called upon friends of old and new
to assist as guest musicians for his debut record. Some of these
guests include Dan Ostebo of ‘The Afters’, Scott Campbell
of ‘Mainstay’, Tim Nustad (formerly) of ‘Camera Can’t Lie’,
Vinnie Thomas of ‘Nicole Serrano’, and guest vocals by indie
rockers Dan Rodriguez and Caitlyn Smith. Tay’s debut album

Messianic Community of Believers
Staying in Prayer & Longing for His Return!
Mashiach ha-Menachem (the Anointed Comforter)
The Torah of Yahweh is perfect, restoring the soul;
The testimony of Yahweh is sure, making wise the simple.
The precepts of Yahweh are right, rejoicing the heart;
The Commandment of Yahweh is pure, enlightening the eyes,
The fear of Yahweh is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of Yahweh are true; they are righteous altogether.
They are more precious than gold, yes, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.
Moreover, by them Thy servant is warned;
In keeping them there is great reward.
Psalm 19:7-11

The Savvy is a
three piece Rock
and Roll act you’d
be selling yourself
short to miss. After
many years of touring under a different name (formerly
Nineball), the only
original member
of the band (Joe
Stockton) decided
he wanted to create
a new beginning for himself and his best friends. These are the
men who stuck with him through thick and thin. These are The
Savvy. The word Savvy has many meanings and connotations.
It means “knowledgeable”, “street smart”, “not naive” or “well
informed”. In short it means they have an understanding. An
understanding of the way things are, and an understanding of
“what it takes” to make a career doing what they love. Well Informed of the shady side of the music industry, the band marches on to create their name and GET HEARD on their own terms.
Love, passion, dreams, the love of creating art, and a drive to
live in an honest, kind, and selfless way such as the way that Jesus Christ lived. However, if you see these boys live in action on
stage (In their natural habitat if you will), you’ll see something
a little different than you’d expect from a group of Christian
young men. With mics being swung around the stage, Water
fights between band members, amp climbing, and war paint are
types of sights you might find at a “Savvy Show”, but their main
focus are the fans. To reach them, to know them, and to befriend
them. The fans/friends are SO important, and the Savvy recognizes that. Thanks for taking a step in the direction of getting to
know these guys. I promise you won’t regret it.
Celebrating 10 Years of Bash on the Farm
Teens listen to 2.4 hours of music per day.
What are they hearing about? One in three
popular songs contain explicit reference to drug
or alcohol use. This means kids are receiving
about 35 references to substance abuse for every
hour of music they listen to. Nearly 9 out of 10
teens havean MP3 player or CD player in their
bedrooms out of earshot of parents.
Over 20,000 people have come through the
gates of Bash on the Farm over the past nine
years. The first festival hosted about 250 people,
and has grown to a peak of 3500 attendees.
In 2010 alone, seven people responded to the
gospel and were baptized
over the weekend and
many others requested
prayer. A highlight
was when Steve
Carrier of the Power Team shared the Gospel in
2008 and over 100 people responded!
Bash on the Farm is a production of Do Right
Inc., a 501(c)3 corporation. Do Right began in
1990 as an outreach organization providing
quality Christian DJ entertainment and sound
for area Christian events. The need for positive
entertainment was seen in the lives of North
Iowa Youth. Formed to address those needs
20 years ago; Do Right now provides sound
for at least 15 Christian events annually. It has
become a voice of Christian entertainment for
North Iowa.
Bash on the Farm brings in only bands that
have positive, moral, Christian lyrics. The
bands that perform feel called to be a positive
role model as they build relationships with fans
at festivals such as BOTF.
I am impressed with Bash on the Farm. This is a weekend
with God’s fingerprints all over it! Some ordinary people
and a common farm serve as a living picture of how the
Gospel transforms lives.

The Sacred Romance
These Hearts
These Hearts, Hailing from
Fargo, ND formed in August
of 2007. They began playing
shows in October and quickly
began establishing a name for
themselves in the upper midwest. They released their debut EP ‘Mistakes and Second
Takes’ in June of 2008, which
went on to sell over 1,000 copies independently within its first
year of being released. In April
2009 These Hearts recorded two
new demo songs produced by
John Naclerio(Senses Fail, My
Chem). Clearing over 700 hard copies on the summer 09 tour,
its safe to say the demo shows maturity in the writing, as well as
the musicianship and live performance of These Hearts. These
Hearts is a band you wont want to take your eyes off of.
Tom Feldmann
National touring artist Tom Feldmann
performs an uplifting mixture of gospel, blues and sloe-eyed country ballads on an array of beautiful National
Reso-Phonic guitars. Dirty Linen
describes him as “a master of folkblues-roots Americana music.” Richie
Havens declares, “very talented.” And
Blues Revue Magazine labels him
“the real deal” and “a soulful original.”
Feldmann picked up the guitar at age 17
after hearing the pioneers of acoustic blues and states, “John
Lee Hooker taught me how to strum, and Muddy Waters taught
me how to slide.” His first CD was released in 1999 and Tom
has since spent the years recording and touring, most notably as
the one-man band Stickey Nickel (2003-04) and as the frontman for Tom Feldmann & The Get-Rites
Triple Stitch
Since Triple Stitch last hit the studio back in 2009 to bring you
their breakthrough project The Rock N’ Roll EP, the band has
played numerous shows and was able to make appearances at
Cornerstone, Sonshine and Lifelight music festivals this past
summer. The Rock N’ Roll EP has proven to be overwhelmingly
popular with the song ‘Sex, Drugs and Rock N’ Roll’ landing
as the opening track for AP Magazines MN Street Team video
series. Sharing the stage with the likeness of Project 86, Spoken and Showbread, the group has developed into a momentous
powerhouse of pure punk/rock n’ roll.
TruServa
Marcus Montana, known as
TRU-SERVA to his music audience, is a passionate man whose
mission is to help others find true
life. TRU felt a calling to use his
talent of hip-hop to help change
lives. From a young age, hip-hop
influenced his style, language
and attitude and it felt natural
to use this genre of music and
way of life to help reach people.
Through his rap lyrics, he portrays a powerful message of the
cross and of a positive change.
He sees himself as an over comer and example of hope to many,
where he stepped above the trap
of being an African American male dead or in jail by age 25.
True Emotion
Nashville & Detroit recording Artists... True Emotion brings to
the stage a passion; driven to inspire, lead, and direct a new generation to a positive Christian message through music and performance. Their music and spontaneous personalities demand
an all out performance driven by strong vocals and unique style.
Five sisters, Kansas (24), Jamie (22), Kasondra (21), Kelsie
(19), and Jasmyn (17) have spent the last 11 years living out
their dream. Born and raised in Iowa the group has been influenced and inspired by many different genres and artists, which
has helped them develop their unique style and sound. These
girls entered the music/entertainment industry, at the ages of
6-13, with their involvement in a TV commercial and both local
and regional performances. The past few years has taken the
group to new levels and given them the opportunity to travel
and perform from coast to coast, ministering for Christ. True
Emotion wants to encourage and inspire people of this generation to live for Christ in all they do. True Emotion wants to share
the message that God can use anyone, regardless of age or talent, as long as they have a willing heart to serve HIM in all they
do.

Undying Allegiance
Waiting to Run
The signing of Undying
Allegiance by Tate Music Group was a push by
the label to break into
the Christian rock scene
by snagging the band
from the roster of super label Universal Republic. They convinced
the band to come over
by their hands on approach and the special
resources they have under their belt. UA will
be released their first
national rock single “Story of our Lives” in December 2010 and
their first Major label release on Tate in February 2011. Since
the release the band has been on tour promoting their new release. It is the hope of the label that Undying Allegiance is the
next big thing in Christian rock.
Waiting to Run is Sue
Smith, her guitar, and
possibly a friend or
two joining her at live
shows… Singing on
stage the thoughts and
prayers that pour out
of her heart while sitting at the kitchen table or out on the back
porch, Sue’s lyrics are
raw, honest and sometimes incredibly sweet.
The desire of Waiting to
Run is not to create music
that sticks in your head,
but words and melodies
that will stick in your
spirit; changing you, encouraging you, challenging you, and maybe making you smile
just a little bit.
UnNamed Servant
In a silent sea of bands, UnNamed
Servant is rising above the musical monotony on a mission to save
the world. Their awe-inspiring
performances and incisive messages have changed many lives.
10 years of blood, sweat, and tears
has grown them a grass-roots following of die-hard fans in the
U.S., Philippines, East Africa, and
India. This band has no limits, and
no regrets as they pour 100% into
every song and show.US is currently working on their 5th studio
album as well as gearing up for
tours promoting their latest album, Invitation to Exile (I2E). In
addition to the band, each member is actively serving the poor
in developing countries through education, healthcare, and social work. 100% of US earnings goes directly to this work.
Vota
Much has happened since VOTA’s INO Records debut album
release. Some of the highlights include a top 10 radio single, 4
consecutive national tours with bands Sanctus Real, Tenth Avenue North, Newsboys, Barlow Girl and Superchick, a trip to
Europe, the startup of a touring/production company, and the
launch of a non-profit called The 180 Tour that has performed
over 300 character based assembly programs in public high
schools in over 30 states. And VOTA is just getting started. As
momentum builds, VOTA continues to define its bold and mysterious name on a path all its own, and those who come in contact can’t help but follow.
While We Were Lost
While We Were Lost is a metal band hailing from the town of
Mount Vernon, IA. They draw influences from a wide range
of bands and melt all of those into one unique style that offers
something for everyone.
