Phillips, Craig and Dean Band Profile / 2013 Tour Dates
Love to sing about God? Well so do Randy Phillips, Shawn Craig and Dan Dean. They've also been quite successful at it also. With 10 albums, 18 #1 singles, and over 2 million records sold in nearly a decade and a half, I'd say the trio definitely has the grace of God on their side.
Randy, Shawn and Dean, at least in adulthood, have been very involved in local ministry but feel the need to use the gift of music, that God has bestowed to them, to spread the Gospel.
With the help of producer Nathan Nockels, PCD is back again with a fresh new sound that is certain to keep churches singing for years. Though the trio is familiar to a more earnest approach to writing, they cite their new producer as a catalyst for something a little more experimental.
"We come from a real traditional get your part and belt it out kind of mindset," Craig explains. "Nathan was able to get us to think outside the box."
Never preoccupied with writing great songs for themselves, but instead our Lord, PCD wants to make music for people to worship to.
"These songs are selected because people can join in with their whole hearts and sing," Phillips revealed. "With this type of project, we go in asking, how can we draw the audience closer to the presence of God? We don't want it to be about these are great songs, but this is a great God," Dean adds.
