Nathanael’s Creed Becomes a Quintet (Again)

The big news is that Nathanael’s Creed is pleased to welcome back Jim Russell as a member of the band. For those of you who don’t remember, Jim was a founding member of Nathanael's Creed. He left in 2000 to spend more time with his growing family and pursue education that led to his ordination as a deacon in the Catholic Church. Even if you don’t know or remember Jim, you know his music. He co-wrote some of the band's signature songs, including "Step Out of the Boat," "For the Least of These," “This Day,” and the rousing swing-infected love song, "That's How I Feel," among others. Jim signs on as the band’s primary guitarist, but he is also a talented vocalist and multi-instrumentalist who can jump in on piano, bass, mandolin, violin and a few others. If you know Jim (or even if you don’t) you can drop him a line at jim@nathanaelscreed.com

Upcoming Projects

The band is in the early stages of a couple of new recording projects, including a Christmas album and a collection of songs about prayer and healing. Stay tuned.

Nathanael’s Creed is looking for places to perform later this summer and into the fall. These concerts can range from energetic, contemporary, uplifting worship events to intimate evenings centered on prayer and quiet stories of faith. If your church or organization would be interested in hosting a concert, contact Steve or Sue Givens at any of the numbers below.

Hope to see you soon!

Steve, Phil, Gerry, Pat (and Jim!)
