The following are five different contemporary Christian musicians or bands that are under-appreciated for their talent.
1. Allen Asbury
Allen Asbury first showed up on the music scene with his debut of "Somebody's Praying Me Through." In 2003 his song was used as the theme song for the Presidential Prayer Team as well as the National Day of Prayer. He was recognized by heavyweight Billboard Magazine as "the arrival of a major new talent" and often praised for his jovial outlook on life.
2. Annie Moses Band
The Annie Moses Band played here on Asbury's campus this past September in Hughes Auditorium. The band is made up of a family including not only the six siblings but their father on piano and mother playing the role of manager. Their music is a fun mix of classical, jazz, folk, and Americana music that they managed to combine in many beautiful ways. The group has recorded not only 12 albums, but 5 live DVDs. They also host the Fine Arts Summer Academy on Lipscomb University Campus in Nashville, Tennessee.
