About the bands
Here’s what the three bands say about themselves on their Facebook pages:
Sign of Jonah is a band/recording project from Wichita with a classic rock vibe, an inspiring message, clear vocals, and two killer lead guitars.
Forgiveness 490 is rock-n-roll with a message! “We feel forgiveness is the key to keeping peace and harmony in this world. We want to share our hearts and the good news of Jesus with as many people as possible. We also back this up with some hard driving rock-n-roll, contemporary Christian, praise and worship and songs written by Forgiveness 490!” Their telephone number places the band in area code 402 - northern and eastern Nebraska.
Sunday Dryver was formerly known at “The Red Dirt Road Band.” It is still a Christian rock band from Oklahoma City that describes itself as, “a group of dedicated musicians who are devoted in sharing the word of Christ through their original music.”
