David Crowder Band is a 6-piece electronic rock / worship band from Waco, Texas.
The band began as a result of David Crowder realizing that almost half of his fellow students at Baylor University, Texas were not attending church, which he found surprising given that it was a Christian college. He and Chris Seay started a church, University Baptist Church in 1996 while he was still a student. Crowder led worship there and continued to do so throughout the year. The church's congregation grew, as did the band's lineup. Crowder began writing songs to incorporate into the worship times at the church and eventually the church released an independent CD, Pour Over Me, followed by All I Can Say in 1999. These CDs brought the band to a wider audience and invitations to festivals and events followed. The band was signed to sixstepsrecords/Sparrow Records and has released five more albums to date (see discography). The band tours the United States continuously, while still making it back to their home church in Waco, Texas, almost every Sunday. With their latest release in September 2005, A Collision, David Crowder Band has explored a new realm of musical diversity. The album houses a mix of bluegrass, folk, alternative, and worship, woven together with a touch of electronic ambience. This release landed them the #2 spot on the iTunes Music Store and the #39 spot on Billboard 200 only one day after its release. On the same day as the release of A Collision, their song "Turkish Delight" was released on the Music Inspired by the Chronicles of Narnia compilation CD. This song, which is a reference to the magical Turkish Delight in C. S. Lewis's book The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, has an old-school disco feel. Members
