Greg Snipes, Lead Guitar,
Greg has been having a great time playing guitar with 3 Nailz for the past several months. Greg states, “I thank our Savior for giving me the talent to use in such a wonderful ministry and hope His blessings will continue to rain down on us.” Greg has also been involved in the music ministry at his church home, Potters Clay Fellowship in Easley SC , for about seven years now, where he plays lead guitar.

Greg’s goal with 3 Nailz is to follow God's guidance, and if He wills, to continue creating contemporary Christian Rock music that can reach those people that God would have them to reach.

Mike "Mojo" Henson, Bass/Acoustic Guitar
Mike (aka: Mojo) was born in Easley,SC and still resides there today with his wife Grace and two teenage children Summer & Zachary. Mike accepted the Lord at the age of 14 while in his youth group. Mike started playing guitar at the young age of 5 and has always been into many genres of music such as rock, jazz, blues and even classical. He and his family are members at Trinity Point Church in Easley where he helps lead worship playing guitar in the TPC band. His desire is to see people who do not know Christ become a disciple of Him. And for those who are Christians, grow deeper in their relationship. Playing bass for 3Nailz, Mike likes getting that low-down bottom end rumble locked in the groove and cranked up!!
1 Corinthians 15:58
Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

Greg Pridgeon, Manager/Lighting Technician
Greg is the "silent" member of 3NailZ. Growing up in the "Bible Belt", Greg was raised in church, but it was much later in life when he truly accepted Jesus Christ as his savior. "It was not until I lost everything I had wanted, that I found the only thing I truly needed, a relationship with Jesus Christ". Shortly after dedicating His life to Christ, He began to do stage lighting for Christian bands and soon crossed paths with 3NailZ. It was a devine appointment. Greg served not only as lighting tech, but began helping in other areas. He became co-manager in early 2005, and has remained devoted to the bands cause. Greg says " I have seen God work through this ministry in miraculous ways, and I am blessed that God has allowed me to be a part of it. Being a part of 3Nailz has changed my life and helped me grow (spirtually) in ways you could not know. I do not deserve this, but then none of us do, that is why its called grace." Greg has a 11yr old son from a previous marriage.

3Nailz Mission Statement
To reach the youth of the nation through music based ministry combined with an uncompromising message of the gospel of Jesus Christ, for the purpose of seeing young people come to know Jesus Christ as their personal savior and through this reverse the decline of this nation's morals and values.
We are no ordinary band, as our ministry comes first and music second. We use the music of this generation as a vehicle to reach out to youth and young adults and to grab their attention and listen to the wonderful and never changing message of Jesus Christ!”
“We also minister to those who already have a personal relationship with Jesus, so they may lift Him up to their peers even in the face of persecution.”
“Our passion is to change today’s generation into tomorrow’s leaders of the church, after all, who else is there?”
3Nailz recognizes that today’s youth are tomorrow’s leaders and the only way to reverse the decline of this country’s values is to reach our future leaders now. The mission of 3Nailz is to see young people come to know Jesus Christ as their personal savior. To do this, 3Nailz uses rock music and powerful biblical based lyrics, combined with a gospel message, to spread God’s word to the youth of the world. A 3NailZ show can be described as a high energy “rock & worship” production with high tech light shows & high quality state-of-the-art sound. The result? A show that is nothing short of spectacular! Comparable to major rock & roll concerts but scaled down for smaller, more intimate venues where they can develop a personal relationship with the audience. All of these elements coupled with music & messages that glorify God is able to impact youth that otherwise might never hear, or want to hear, Christ’s message of salvation. 3Nailz also realizes this opportunity to speak & minister to those who already have a personal relationship with Christ. They will be strengthened and encouraged to lift up Christ to their peers.
Though we are an entertainment based ministry, Let us be clear about one thing, 3Nailz is a ministry FIRST and rock band SECOND. Music is our tool to reach out to the lost. Our goal in 3Nailz is not to become famous, but to remain humble servants of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are also an all volunteer band. Everyone in the band works regular jobs during the week, and tours with the band on weekends, sometimes at our own expense. All funds the band brings in goes back to the ministry to help with travel expenses, production equipment, and studio time. We raise money though bookings, love offerings, merchandise sales, and donations. Everybody involved in the ministry from the musicians to the crew has felt the calling by God to use their gifts & talents as tools to reach out to all of the lost as well as lift up our brothers and sisters in Christ!
The Band,
3Nailz was founded in 2000. While there has been some changes though the years, and even a 2 year "break", God has always been in the lead. Today 3nailz consists of the following members. Cory Truax, Lead Vocals; Bryan Clardy, Drums; Greg Snipes, Lead Guitar; Mojo Henson, bass/Acoustic; Chris Bantly, keys, Manager/Lighting Tech; Greg Pridgeon, and Sound Tech, Eddie Cambell. 3Nailz will continue to spread the Gospel through their music and concerts wherever and however God leads them!
