Welcome to the Audio & Video page. Zeal has spent a little time in the studio - well, OK, in Chris' basement - recording a few tracks to give you an idea of what we sound like. Like most people that have to work day jobs, we didn't get to spend nearly as much time on this project as we would like, and our budget didn't allow for studio time, either. So this labor of love is 100% DIY.

Tracks were recorded digitally with a Boss DR600 and .wav files were exported into the Linux digital audio workstation software called Ardour (http://www.ardour.org/) for mixdown. to read more about how we created these tunes, check out our recording page. Files are in Windows Media Audio (wma) format. Click and enjoy!

Our version of the Mercy Me hit. This is one of those songs we started to record before we really had nailed our arrangement of it. People really enjoy this tune everywhere we go.
Ellen's voice really carries this one. Ellen is the good conscience of the band. She loves horses and has a nice little place near McHenry.
Chris Tomlin said so much in just a few words with this song.
A classic, done our way. When you have been together for several years, each vocalist natuarally gravitates to their "place" in the vocal harmonic spectrum. We try to challenge ourselves with new songs and vocal arrangements that are interesting both to sing and listen to.
Pat wrote this. I think it was after a long boat ride on rough seas! We have a couple of different ways we do this one. Oh, and Pat does have friends! BTW this is Bill's favorite song...
