The week is half-way over ... or has it only half-way begun?
ARTIST OF THE DAY
Switchfoot
"Switchfoot" is a surfing term. Lead singer/songwriter Jon Foreman says "We all love to surf and have been surfing all our lives so to us, the name made sense. To switch your feet means to take a new stance facing the opposite direction. It's about change and movement, a different way of approaching life and music."
Switchfoot has carefully walked the line of being Christians who found success in the secular market, but uncomfortable with the way big record labels work. About three years ago the band decided to walk away from a multi-album deal - comfort and stability - to become one of the most successful independent bands in the music industry. They live with their families in San Diego, produce on their terms and organize their own world tours.
Line-Up:
Jon Foreman
Tim Foreman
Chad Butler
Jerome Fontamillas
Drew Shirley
Fun Fact: Brothers Jon and Tim were both Boy Scouts in their youth and in 2010 Switchfoot performed at the Boy Scouts of America National Jamboree to celebrate the organization's 100th anniversary.
Personal Note: Some friends sang the Switchfoot song Only Hope in my wedding. It was lovely.
