This offer is only valid for Nashville and surrounding area churches only. To celebrate the release of "Durant Christmas", Durant is dropping the concert honorarium fee for the month of November only!! That's right... you can book Durant for just a love offering. Take advantage of this promotion, because dates are filling up FAST!!!

The recording is done, and the album is off to the presses! Release date to be announced soon!! You won't want to miss it.

Yes, that's right!  We've been in the studio virtually nonstop to make sure you guys get a Christmas album this year!  More details to come, but let's just say you won't be disappointed with the variety of music on this release!  Melissa has been recording and mixing for the duration of this album, so you know it's gonna be good!

Melissa published her first health book, entitled, "Why Are We Sick?". She's been working on this for quite some time, so to see her hard work come to fruition is a pretty huge deal. At 15 years of age, Melissa was diagnosed with stomach cancer. Refusing to do conventional treatment or surgery, she went to a Christian natural doctor, who put her on a vegan, whole foods diet. She was healed completely, and now she takes every chance she gets to spread the word about natural health. You can buy the book on Amazon.com, and of course, at any Durant concert!

Hey, everyone! We know it's been way too long since our last blog. We've had lots going on! We are gearing up for summer with two new booking agents, and a summer full of shows! Lance Flood and Cherie House are teaming up through Amnesty Booking, Inc. to promote our music... and dates are filling up fast!

God has been so good to us this spring. We recently returned from Noblesville, Indiana, where we spent time with Keith and Sharon at their Praise and Harmony Seminar. We closed out the weekend with a concert at Noblesville Church of Christ. We love the people there!

June 30-July 4, we will be at Lipscomb University for Acafest and Summer Celebration '08. Join us the entire week for classes, worship, and concerts. Melissa and Darren will be teaching a class called "Capturing Live Sound" for all of you who are interested in learning more about perfecting your skill of audio engineering. And hey... anybody up for lunch at Baja Burrito? Pretty sure we'll be there every day.

And... in August, we'll be at the Nashville Convention Center for the Member's Choice A Capella Awards. You can purchase tickets at www.mca.awards.com. Hope to see you there!

Hey everyone! We've been extremely busy this summer. We performed at Acafest earlier this month, and many of our weekends have been spent traveling. A special hello to the Farragut Church of Christ in Knoxville, for letting us be a part of their worship.

We just wanted to say thank you to everyone who signed up for the Durant cruise. We can't wait to set sail with you this Monday! Remember to go to the Lido deck from 2:00-3:00 and pick up your information from Queenslander Tours! A special thank you to Mark and Sherry for arranging what we know will be a fantastic vacation! And don't forget to attend the first session on Monday night in the Conference Room on the Promenade Deck! Can't wait to worship with you!

Anchors away!!!!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to announce that the Acappella Company was represented quite well this year in the CASA (Contemporary A capella Society of America) Awards. The album of the year went to Acappella's Radiance. Acappella also walked away with Song of the Year with "All Men Will Know". This is especially good news for Durant's Melissa Lancaster, who engineered Acappella's entire album! Second place for Song of the Year went to Durant and "People Get Ready", from the album RIDE! Again, special congratulations to Melissa Lancaster who engineered that album, as well!

Thanks to all who have showed your support to us over this last year!

God Bless!!!
