22Five

22FIVE is a riff-driven modern rock and roll band based in Atlanta, GA.

Between 1988 and 1992 Brett, Steve and Sean toured the Southeast United States in the Christian rock band, REIGN (along with keyboardist Matthew Carter and later guitarist Rob Carter). The band played for churches at camps, youth events, community events, and at festivals, including AgapeFest, Inner Seeds Fest (IS Fest) and Atlanta Fest, the Southeast's biggest Christian music festival. During that time we shared the stage with artists such as The Newsboys, Jacob's Trouble, The Waiting, The Choir, Adam Again, The Throes, Violet Burning, Guardian, Freedom of Soul, Dig Hay Zoose, Mad at the World, Cindy Morgan and others.

REIGN released one project called i of the storm and began work on a second release, tentatively titled Even in the Dry Season, but the band broke up in 1993 and the guys thought the days of making music together were over and gone.

In early 2009, the Brett, Stephen and Sean happened to hook up with each other again through the power of the Internet, and 22FIVE was born. The band is currently scheduling new concert dates and has released a new CD called Paint a Picture.

In the summer of 2010, the boys realized that God was telling them to expand the band, and Brett recommended that Paul Borge, a guitarist he often led worship with, come in and jam during a rehearsal. About the same time, Sean told Stephen that Brittany Wilcox, a girl he knew from church, would be perfect to sing the girl's part on a duet the band was working on. Suffice it to say that when all five rehearsed together that night, it was like something magical, as if God were saying, "Surprise, here's the new 22FIVE!"

So, that's exactly what happened. Now, Brett Stephen, Sean, Paul and Brittany are ready to begin the 22FIVE story all over again.
