The Steve Kropp Band is an energetic music ministry based out of Fredericksburg, VA. Fronted by worship leader/songwriter Steve Kropp, the band builds it’s foundation on Psalm 34:3: “Oh magnify the Lord with me, and let’s exalt His name together!” In 2008, a grass roots approach had Steve & friends making over 80 appearances in worship settings across Virginia. The group’s original songs range from rock to bluegrass, and span 5 CDs released in the past 5 years. With a staff position at a local church plant (New Season UMC), Steve also has a vast repertoire of praise & worship favorites, contemporary-style hymns, & spirituals. Regardless of the event or venue, the band creates an environment conducive to all ages singing, clapping, dancing, and worshipping together!

Christine and I were down in your neck of the woods this past weekend visiting with her sisters. Sue gave me a "Pre-Release" listen to her master copy.
Your lyrics, as always, are deep in meaning and well thought out and the instrumentation & arranging was very cool.
I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to see you Sunday morning.
Congrats to you, your family , and your band. Best wishes - Dan Z.
