Mark Shrader Music Director, Guitars, Keys, Vocals "I believe music is a conduit to the soul. It is grounding and fundamental to the natural flow of human energy in life. It can evoke deep human emotions such as love and passion; even hatred and distant memories are within its grasp... music is truly a gift from God!" MS
Steve Shrader Acoustic Bass, Vocals "Close the door, put out the light" (Led Zeppelin, No Quarter). This is the first verse I can remember in my musical journey. I was in 4th or 5th grade and I used to fall asleep to it night after night with my head phones on. That song moved right through me. Since then God has blessed me by putting some very talented and gifted people in my life. I met MT over 20 years ago and my life has never been the same. Being his guitar tech for many years, I always knew there was more for me to offer, but being a part of his band seemed like a dream. I've watched many people be deeply touched by the power of music and I have had a lot of great things happen to me in my life that involve music. I am evolving, living a dream. I feel like I'm home.
Thanks for all your support!" Steve

“For many of us, we go thru life in search of answers. Who am I? Why am I here? What is my God-given talent? For some of us, the answers come slowly, and like assembling a puzzle, the big picture may emerge late in life. And then there are those seemingly few, who from the time of early childhood know exactly who they are and why they are here. Their purpose is clear. Their destiny is carved in stone. There are no questions, and perhaps, no choice.
And so it is with MT. A moonchild with stars in his eyes and songs in his heart. That’s who he’s always been, and who he’ll always be.
His music is a gift. It has changed lives. It brings joy and gives hope to so many. This may be the first time you have heard of MT. But we all know life is full of roadblocks and detours. MT has endured his share, and now, he has arrived. This is his time.
As you read this, you are given a powerful key. A key to unlock the doors that stand between MT’s music and the world. All you have to do is listen, let it touch your heart, and tell a friend. And if you do, every time you hear his songs, listen closely between the notes… you’ll hear the sound of those locks turning, the creak of doors opening, and you will set MT, and a little part of yourself, free. I promise.”

In a little while from now If I’m not feeling any less sour I promise myself to treat myself And visit a nearby tower And climbing to the top will throw myself off In an effort to make it clear to who Ever what it’s like when you’re shattered Left standing in the lurch at a church Where people saying: "My God, that’s tough She's stood him up" No point in us remaining We may as well go home As I did on my own Alone again, naturally To think that only yesterday I was cheerful, bright and gay Looking forward to well wouldn’t do The role I was about to play But as if to knock me down Reality came around And without so much, as a mere touch Cut me into little pieces Leaving me to doubt Talk about God and His mercy Or if He really does exist Why did He desert me in my hour of need I truly am indeed Alone again, naturally
It seems to me that there are more hearts broken in the world that can’t be mended Left unattended What do we do? What do we do?
Alone again, naturally Now looking back over the years And whatever else that appears I remember I cried when my father died Never wishing to hide the tears And at sixty-five years old My mother, God rest her soul, Couldn’t understand why the only man She had ever loved had been taken Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken Despite encouragement from me No words were ever spoken And when she passed away I cried and cried all day Alone aga
HEY T`A LITTLE EARLY' JUST WANT TO WISH YOU N' YOUR FAMILY A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS N' A HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010. DRINK A LITTLE EAT A LOT. BE SAFE, MY FABULOUS FRIEND. LOVE Tj
