BIG DADDY WEAVE'S MILITARY WAVE
The tear jerking ballad "I'll Be Brave This Christmas" off
Big Daddy Weave's holiday CD
Christ Is Come has earned tremendous acceptance at radio given its pro-troops stance. But the band is proving to lend that support firsthand by launching a pledge drive with its pals at KLOVE to assist military families in need. Between now and Christmas, supporters can visit
www.bigdaddyweave.com/klove and KLOVE's Wall of Prayer to post prayers for soldiers, while they can also donate to Amazon gift wish lists through those same sites.
EX-KORN MEMBER'S MAJOR DEAL
As a member of
Korn,
Brian "Head" Welch played on just about every stadium stage across the globe. And now that his solo stock's been rising, he's earned the attention of William Morris Endeavor Entertainment, who will be booking the guitarist turned hard rock singer/songwriter alongside Christian acts like
Switchfoot, Flyleaf and
Emery. The company's roster also includes secular heavyweights like
Foo Fighters, Nine Inch Nails, Ozzy Osbourne, Tool, Shinedown, Puddle of Mudd and the
Goo Goo Dolls.
