"Byron Community Ministries helps local families who are in need," said Josh Good, Huntington University alum and pastor of discipleship and youth at Banner of Christ Church. "If we bring in a few hundred people to the show, we can help stock their shelves."
Attaboy got its start with vocalist/pianist Amos Caley, a Grand Rapids native, and guitarist Jeff Edgel, who met while studying at Huntington University, and were soon joined by Huntington native Chris Brumbaugh on bass. Now, five years later, they have set out to use their music to address the deeper questions about life and spirituality. Attaboy brings with them two Midwest indie bands, Highland Fall and Jared Mahone.
