On Thursday, August 31st, I attended the For King and Country concert in Grand Island, NE. For King and Country is a Christian band, whose members are originally from Australia. Their band name was taken from the battle cry of the British Army and the band took it and made it their mission to travel around the world "for king and country".
For King and Country performed at the Nebraska State Fair and some of the songs they performed include: "Priceless", "Shoulders", "Cease Fire", "The Proof of Your Love", "God Forgive Us", and "Fix My Eyes".
One of my favorite moments of the show was when the band and entire crowd prayed for those affected by Hurricane Harvey in Houston, TX. Following the prayer, we all sang "Amazing Grace". I had chills the entire time; it was such a powerful moment! You could definitely feel God's presence there with you!
Another aspect I enjoyed was the band's lighting choices. They didn't go for the simple and easy, they went for the really intricate and unique. For example, during one of the slower songs they used white lights that started off as straight lines and then when they hit a wall formed little dots all over it. Lighting is very important as it helps create the atmosphere at a concert, and For King and Country did a fabulous job!
During the concert, the band promoted their new movie being released entitled, Priceless, after their very popular single. The film is about a young man who agrees to drive a semi-truck across country with no idea of what is in the back. Once he finds out what is back there, he makes it his mission to help the situation. I bought the DVD and it came with a free necklace! The necklace is an Australian one cent coin and the For King and Country logo. It symbolizes that, "a woman is worth more than all the money in the world! It also stands as a reminder to men that ladies are priceless and deserve to be treated with respect and honor!"
Overall, the concert was great! The atmosphere was so positive and loving, and the band sounded awesome live. I highly recommend that you give For King and Country a listen and go to one of their shows is you are able!
