Big D & the Good News Blues: Big D Bio

Denise aka Big D - Lead Vocals/acoustic guitar

Big D & the Good News Blues has been around since 2000.
The members of the band have changed over the years, but Big D and her message have not.
Big D (Denise) was saved (became a Christian) in 1986. She had sung before, but not in public since her last solo in the 4th grade. In her teens Denise was depressed, and became suicidal. It wasn't until she surrendered her life to Jesus Christ that she began to sing, this time with a purpose, to proclaim the Gospel (Good News) in song.
Over the last 25 years Big D has written many songs about this hope and life in Jesus Christ, all for one reason, to see people transformed by this Gospel, which is the power of God to save!
If you come to a Big D concert you'll be sure to hear one theme ringing through every song, the Gospel of Jesus Christ boldly proclaimed....and that without apology.
Romans 1:16

Jonathan - Drummer & BGV

Jonathan is Big D's teenaged (almost 20 now:) son and drummer. His experience includes three years of worship drumming with his mom, some praise team work with the Christian Reformed Church in Bradenton, many plugged in and un-plugged concerts with Big D & the Good News Blues, Leading worship at Cornerstone Church in Ramsay, MI, and most recently starting his own Christian band called, Truly Alive. (you can find his band on facebook and ReverbNation!)

God has given Jonathan some natural talent as well as some great opportunities and experiences. Big D 's prayer for Jonathan and his drumming is to ALWAYS use what God has given Him for the Lord, always... and to never compromise the Gospel in his life or with his gifts.
