White Heart

The American Group White Heart Has Had One Of The Longest Careers In Christian Rock Beginning In 1982 With The Release Of Their Debut Album WHITE HEART And Lasting All The Way To 1997 When Their Last Album REDEMPTION Was Released. Through These Years They Have Been Considered Among The Pioneers Of Christian Rock And Their Popularity Has Not Wavered Despite Frequent Personnel Changes. The Band's Musical Style Is Not Totally Straight-Forward As It Includes A Hint Of Progressiveness. White Heart Has Never Actually Stated That They Have Disbanded But There Hasn't Been Any Consistent Musical Activity By Them As A Group Since 1997. However In August 2006 They Had A Reunion Concert At The Third Annual Soul2Soul Honors Event In New Albany Indiana Louisville Kentucky With The Following Line-Up Billy Smiley Rick Florian Mark Gershmel Tommy Sims Jon Knox And Gordon Kennedy.
