All Together Separate

The contemporary Christian group All Together Separate consists of guitarist Andrew Shirley, drummer Ben Rayls, and vocalist Dex Alexander. The trio met at a Christian college and began forming their own musical style, which incorporates funk, blues, and rock elements. All Together Separate has led winter and summer bible study camps and Student Leadership Conferences, and released their self-titled debut album in 1999 on Ardent Records; the live album Ardent Worship Live followed the next year. Shirley also served as a touring member of Switchfoot starting in 2003, eventually joining the band permanently a few years later.
