Big Tent Revival

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Big Tent Revival was a Christian rock band. They began in 1991 and disbanded in 2000. They did extensive touring in the U.S. and abroad and they were featured at the Harvest Crusades. Their music was known for catchy riffs, distortion, and softer acoustic ballads.

Their most popular songs were "Two Sets of Joneses" and "Choose Life". The former told a story about two different couples. One trusted in Jesus through the storms of life and the other didn't. The latter was used as an invitational for people to get saved at the Harvest Crusade.

"What Would Jesus Do?" was also one of the band's popular songs. It complimented the WWJD movement that encouraged people to consider what Jesus would do in real-life situations.

Randy Williams now tours with Jeremy Camp as one of his guitar players along with Camp's younger brother, Jared.
