MySpace a place for friends

PUT YOUR BIO SECTION HERE!In the fall of 2001 Albert Miranda called his 2 friends Josh Martin and Bruce Grogan with an idea to start a music ministry. Their love of blues music had brought them together before for fun, so it was only natural they take their style music and put it to good use. They formed the Albert Miranda Band and went directly into a local recording studio to record their first album " Your Own Sin". Staying mostly in the High Desert area, the trio played at outreaches and coffee houses. In the spring of 2003, Milton Caylor joined the band taking over the lead vocals from Albert. They knew almost immediately they needed to strengthen their sound and added Gabe DelaCruz on rhythm guitar. Four Shadows Fall was formed! The band started to branch out and play all over Southern California, and soon started working on a new album with Ekklesia Music. Unfortunately, after a full year of recording, Ekklesia Music folded and the band was forced to start over. "The group really learned a lot in that year, and truly came together as a band." says Josh. In the fall of 2004, the band signed up for the "American Christian Music Showcase". A total of 180 Christian acts came from all over the western United States. FsF was one of the top 3 groups, and earned a spot in the Spirit West Coast music festival in Delmar, California held in May 2005. Another new member came along, Danny Murcia was added as keyboard player in late spring of 2005. The group stayed very busy throughout the rest of the 2005 summer including a terrific weekend at Joshua Fest in Quincy California. Other notable venues include; Blessed Fest 2005 , the "Hallowed Be HIS Name" concert at Arrowhead Stadium, many events for Calvary Chapel Redlands (The Packinghouse), Calvary Chapel Chino Valley, Christian Youth Camps and many outreaches across Southern California. As it was from the start, the blues band was still alive and kicking. From 2004 through 2006 the guys made several appearances at BB Kings Blues Club in Hollywood, the Pomona Blues Festival and a charity event held in Primm Nevada and sponsored by the San Bernardino Sheriff Department called Desert Thunder. In July of 2006 the boys entered the Gospel Music Association's national competition "Music in the Rockies". This competition features regional qualified bands from all over the country, over 700 different acts. Also in attendance are all the top industry pros from the Christian music business. Four Shadows Fall managed a top 10 position! Changes may take up to 2 mins to show on your profile
