One of the most popular bands in Christian music for the past two decades, Newsboys is an Australian pop/rock import that has consistently delivered some of the industry’s most exciting live shows, not to mention a slew of radio hits.
Now led by dc Talk’s Michael Tait after former lead singer Peter Furler stepped down to focus on his family and pursue other endeavors in early 2009, Newsboys continue to play fan favorites “Shine,” “Breakfast,” “Take Me to Your Leader” and “Entertaining Angels” while also producing new music. The band’s new single "Born Again" has already topped Christian radio charts and continues to be a popular download on iTunes.
For Newsboys, breaking records and selling albums has never really been its focus. Instead, Michael (lead vocals), along with his bandmates Jody Davis (guitars, vocals), Duncan Phillips (drums, percussion) and Jeff Frankenstein (keyboards) provide an exhilarating entertainment experience for music fans while sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ in an arena that teenagers, college students and even adults feel comfortable inviting their friends to.
“When Peter asked me [to be the frontman for Newsboys], I was elated and very proud. At the same time I was thinking ‘This is a heavy, heavy mantle,’ and this isn’t my truck,” Michael told Gospel Music Channel. “Put it this way: Remember Indiana Jones, the first one with the big rolling rock? He’s going down the hill, and this big boulder is right behind him. That’s what I felt like for the first month. But now I wake up, and I’m excited. I’m like ‘Is this real?’ It’s so much fun getting to make a difference by playing shows and talking about my faith in such a blatant way.”
