Rhett Walker Band is Headliner
For June 8 Concert in Norwalk
The Rhett Walker Band is the headliner for the Con-
nection Music Festival scheduled-for Sunda June 8, on
the grounds at Crossroads Church, 2601 Border St. (same
as Beardsley St.). The outdoor concert is free of charge.
Assisting Crossroads Church with the event are Fellow-
ship Community Church and Norwalk United Meth-
odist Church.
Walker is the outspoken 25-year-old son of a,preacher
who was bom and raised around the sOuth. In a mix-
ture of a Georgia and Carolinas drawl, Walker tells an
intense wild oats story tempered by God's grace, a tes-
timony that fuels the deep-fried rock and deep-down
worship the Rhett Walker Band's debut, Come To The
River.
Walker said, "We moved away from my hometown
when I was 16 and I didn't like that. Iiust went nuts,
doing whatever I wanted to do in the moment. I mixed
with the rough crowd, got into fights and drugs. It. wasn't
long before I was expelled from school - just always in
trouble. So they sent me to this Christian school,, the
only one that would take me, and I met this girl, April.
It wasn't long after that we found out she was pregnant.
That was the stop in the path for me."
Presented with a ton-of-bricks reality at 17, Walker
could stay on the downward spiral or step He
stepped up.
After the couple got married, he rededicated his life
to God and she accepted Jesus for the first time. He got
a diploma and she made their $300-per-month apart-
ment into ~i horhe. As they matured in faith ana ex-
panded their family, opportunities cm-ne for Rhett to lead
worship at other churches and on college campuses. This
