Barabbas is a band doing worship in a way that has yet to be done. Taking influence from rocking bands like The Almost and influence from worship sensation, Hillsong United, Barabbas brings music and lyrics to the worship side of music unlike anyone has to date.
Justin, JT, Austin, Zach, Jessica, & CJ are the individuals that make up Barabbas. The six had been playing together since mid 2007, but in early 08 the band decided to take their passion for music to the next level. Practicing and writing music for close to two months, Barabbas decided to enter a competition, a battle of the bands. After winning the first round of the battle, Barabbas headed for the finals in Big Spring, TX, Zach's home town. Again with success, Barabbas won the finals. With prizes like merchandise, money, music, and a performance with Christian artist Shane & Shane, Barabbas now had the things they needed to get on their feet.
Along with their passion for music, Barabbas also is an active ministry. Starting as a worship band in a local church, Barabbas is dedicated to the Kingdom of God and building up Christ in today’s youth. Barabbas, a character in the bible, is known as a prisoner and murderer, freed by the crowd in Jerusalem in place of Jesus Christ, whom was to be crucified in place of Barabbas. We are all set free by Jesus Christ, as Barabbas was.
