What An Amazing Year! – Update

God has done amazing things through our music ministry this past year! We’ve been able to travel the country and impact many lives – just so grateful for your support and His guidance.

Josh Gilbert Band in Florida, Minnesota, and North Dakota

Josh Gilbert  has always been, and is a traveling Christian Band/Ministry with a heart for evangelism — reaching the community through songs of testimony and worshiping the Lord in a unique style of music.  Wherever we go, we provide a mix of CCM/Worship and a little Country/Americana/Southern Rock.  Our mission is to partner with local Churches and ministries to evangelize the community outside the ‘four walls’ — create a welcoming live music atmosphere where we can invite ‘un-churched’ people in to hear the Gospel through live music and testimony!  We have seen God move in awesome ways as He has directed me and my band; and opened up doors for us to perform hundreds of concerts across the Country this past year. (from the Southeast to North & South Dakota; and from the Midwest to New England!) 

We have had the opportunity to partner with many ministries this year and years past, but also Secular-based events such as City-sponsored events and Festivals — which is an open door for us to reach the un-churched, uncompromisingly with the Gospel!  God is positioning us to become a bridge to those who need to hear the good news, and this we will be doing more of — on all fronts — in 2020.  

messages we got from people who saw us perform at public events (outdoors or secular venues, not church venues):  

“I live 3 blocks from the venue, I heard you singing Saturday night and I couldn’t believe it!  I drove down the street with my wife I was knocked out to see that you are a Christian artist”  (Bob, audience attendee, in FL 2019)

“Blown away Saturday night! Your voice is amazing and I knew I heard those Christian references in your own songs! My boyfriend and I talked about you guys the rest of the night!!”  (Carla, audience attendee, in GA 2019)

We hope to continue to use music as a doorway to invite folks from all walks of life to get connected to different ministries and get connected to Christ.  I appreciate your continued prayers as He uses us and our music to impact lives! We are also scheduling 2020 and reach out to us if you or someone you know would be interested in hosting us for a Concert or Outreach event this upcoming year! Contact: info@joshgilbertmusic.com or visit http://bnds.us/xkkgy2 for more.

I want to thank all who have helped me along the way and all the band for playing with me and every venue, church and event that has hosted us! It has been a blessing to perform and do the thing we love to do!

Check out the new video for “Sweet Little Place”!

“Sweet Little Place”, Josh’s newest single, is about staying together as a family, even when times get tough — a real story about taking risks and challenges in life as a family unit —  and no matter where life takes you, we’ve always got a sweet little place together that we call ‘home’.

"Sweet Little Place", by Josh Gilbert

Check out "Sweet Little Place", a new song feat. Josh Gilbert Band! This song is about following the Lord together as a family, even when times get tough — a real story about taking a risk and sticking together through thick and thin. My hope is that the message would be an encouragement to someone out there! Featuring Josh Gilbert Band, Minion Media & Do Good Farm

THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG: “Sweet Little Place” — “A couple years back, when my future and musical career seemed uncertain, I got an unforeseen opportunity to work as a musician/producer in Central FL and we as a family prayed and made a transition to a new town, Winter Garden in Florida. It was a completely new world, although I had a few friends there. It wasn’t easy, but through the restlessness of change we found strength and peace as a family unit, more than ever before. We had no choice but to cling to each other, cling to God, and let Him lead. There is power when you work together and come into prayer & spiritual agreement in the home, and we wouldn’t have made it this far otherwise. “Sweet Little Place” is about that sort of family bond, where we together remain Christ-focused and make a safe place; ‘home’ is where that love is, and not based on a physical location or circumstance. Though we aren’t perfect, through the power of a Holy Spirit-led home, you can have peace and God’s Kingdom can thrive in your family.” – Josh

After The Storm

Josh Gilbert outdoor concert

So, we had an interesting mini-tour experience this past fall, right around the time of Hurricane Michael; which hit the pan-handle of Florida.  We were scheduled to both lead worship and perform in Thomasville, GA, Chattanooga, TN; and Tallahassee, FL.  As we watched the weather, we saw how Hurricane Michael hit near Panama City, right before our last tour stop in Tallahassee area, and right after our stop in Thomasville. How crazy!  We were very close, but missed it! Our friends in Thomasville, GA were ok thankfully.  We then headed up Friday to Tennessee, and performed live at Cambridge Square in Chattanooga, and we had a great time seeing lots of friends and family.  I even got to share about the songs and a little gospel message to wrap up the night.  Then, after double-checking that the church in Tallahassee was ok, we found they were very eager to see us, and didn’t cancel us coming, so we still kept the plans for the week to head down to the panhandle of FL.  Nevertheless, that’s when things began to get really interesting….

That Saturday, we headed back down through Georgia, and of course Atlanta, where traffic is always a beast.  This time, we watched a wreck happen in front of us, as I decided to take a detour West of Atlanta, through the western part of GA, instead of straight down I-75.   But that was a mistake.  Although the roads were scenic through the countryside, we began to notice the street lights were out, and no gas stations were open.  Then we drove through countless small towns, where the Hurricane had come through.  There we passed by collapsed roofs and downed trees, as well as over power lines!  Luckily the roads were still passable, but no gas stations of course!  I had forgotten about the path of the hurricane, and by that time we were getting low on gas!  Finally, after much prayer, we ended up coasting into Tallahassee with a few miles to spare.  After 3 gas stations, we found 1 in town that had gas — we had just made it!

Next, we drove to the hotel to stay for the night, only to discover that they had given up all of our rooms to the electrical workers, of which there was an army of them all around town. Luckily, the hotel down the street had 1 room left! So we took it!  With a couple of us on the floor.  As we checked in and I reached to lock the door in the van, my key broke off in the key hole!!! So crazy… We ended up fishing the other end out, and then placing it in the ignition, and using the other half to turn it — just enough to be able to start the van!  Needless to say, we were ready to have a great day the next day, because we had gone through some tough circumstances the previous night.  And it was an awesome experience with our friends that next morning at Promised Land Church, where we got to encourage many folks who were refugees from the storm a few towns over.  It was  awesome to provide a song as an anthem for not only our own experiences, but the lyrics were speaking to those who went through the hurricane — we debuted our song, “Storms” that morning, which is about God being our rock during times of stormy seasons of life.  The lyrics of the song are simple:  “I will trust in You, Lord; I will trust in only You; You are my shelter in a time of storm.  Jesus is a rock in a weary land, a shelter in a time of storm…”  The song “Storms” draws influence from an old hymn, “Shelter in a time of Storm”.

And I think that’s something to be reminded of.  When unforeseeable circumstances and hardships come your way — not ‘if’, but ‘when’ they come — are you prepared?  Friends, there is not really much you can do in certain times of our life, when things collapse around you and when troubles wash over like a tidal wave.  The ONLY hope we have is in Jesus, as simple as it sounds.  There is hope in the one who made the very seas, and is a steady rock when things become shaky.  Psalm 91:1-2 says:  “Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High, will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.  I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.'”

I am grateful that I can REST in the Almighty, who sees beyond what I see and failures and circumstances — even though we may go through tough times and face trials, He sees even my potential and always provides a way out and strength to rise above all situations.  Consider taking hold of that promise today, of which goes way beyond our own capability.

New EP – OUTSIDE THE CITY Available Now!

 NEW MUSIC ANNOUNCEMENT:

Hey everyone! The new EP Outside The City by Josh Gilbert Band is available now on Spotify/ITunes/Amazon/Digital Stores!  I am so honored to self-produce this collection of original songs, along with the help of many others along the way. Want to give a big shout out to the following individuals who have helped with this project and the ones to come: Keagan Fowler (Producer/Engineer/Keys/Drums), Alex McCulloch (Drums), Matt Gilbert (Bass/BGV’s), Sarah Bryant (BGV’s), Casey Bryant (Mandolin/Guitars).

The New EP, “Outside The City”, includes the new songs, “Shelter Of Love”, “Sweet Little Place”, “Give My Life To You”, and “Outside The City”. The Josh Gilbert Band project concept, “Outside The City”, is all about how God takes us out of our man-made world sometimes to show us more of Him and give us a new perspective. “Sometimes we can get caught up in our own structure and schedules in seasons of life, and these collections of songs (some old and some new) are all tied together with how God has walked with me through many hard, lonely times and situations, and has kept me secure and provided all I need for me and for my family, despite the impossible circumstances. I hope that you will be encouraged with the messages of this new Project, in that when you feel overwhelmed in life, you don’t have only your own strength and plans to rely on — Jesus always provides us with a way out if we trust Him; He is always faithful!” — Josh Gilbert
