Christian rock band "Disciple" coming to Troy

Rock band "Disciple" will be playing in Troy on Saturday, May 6 and the event is free to the public.

The concert begins at 7 p.m. at the Troy Community Baptist Church.

Since their debut album in 1995, Disciple has recorded 12 albums, earned 14 No. 1 singles, and sold hundreds of thousands of records. Their music has been featured on ESPN’s NFL Live, WWE, Fox Sports, as well as in commercials for TV shows.

They’ve received multiple Dove awards, played thousands of shows worldwide and have their 13th album due in September on Tooth & Nail Records. The album, “Love Letter Kill Shot,” continues their legacy.

The project is full of prolific guitar riffs, new collaborative lyrical contributions and fresh themes. The title takes inspiration from the salvation message in the gospel, acknowledging that when we accept the love of Christ we learn how to lay our own lives down and live in him.

“It’s the duality of our perceived identity and Christ’s identity in us that shapes the album,” says band frontman Kevin Young.

Using personal stories of depression, anxiety and suffering, Young and fellow bandmates Josiah Prince, Andrew Stanton and Joey West, highlight the redeeming truth that Christ uses all tragedy for victory.
