Shane and Shane

It’s official; Refuge: Thailand is only a one week away! As the big day is drawing closer, the excitement is really starting to build. In just seven days we will be gathered to raise money for Remember Nhu as well as joining together in praise and worship. It seems high time we learned a little about our special guest worship leaders: Shane and Shane.

The Shanes (Shane Barnard and Shane Everett) are Texas born and raised. They met while attending Texas A&M University and there began to lead worship together for a college ministry called Breakaway Ministries. They released a couple of albums and soon began recording and performing full time.

Now, a decade later, they have produced six studio albums, sold around half a million records and are one of Christian music’s most exciting and compelling worship groups. And a busy one at that; they perform between 250-300 shows per year!

Shane and Shane have been described as being among the most devotionally focused singer/songwriters of this generation. They’re lyrics certainly back that supposition. One quote of Barnard’s (which can be found on the band’s website) sums it up well, “We always have a tendency to bring the scriptures into our songs; it happens naturally for us.”

We’re very excited to worship with them and you!
