I'm obviously new here, so I'll introduce myself.
Name’s Tony. I graduated from North Central University with a degree in music a few years ago.

I currently lead worship at a recently established coffee shop church in the warehouse district of Minneapolis, MN. It’s called Corner Coffee (http://www.cornerchurch.tv). Due to the physical size of the shop, the demographic, we have a mostly acoustic worship atmosphere. I mentored under a local music pastor in a larger church for about three years until just this spring, when I made the transition to the coffee house. That’s why I’m here.

I’m really interested in growing as a leader and as a worshiper, along with gaining insight from any kind of experiences other people have had in a similar setting, ie, acoustic, laid back worship.

Well, that’s all for now.

Later

Well, it's not a 'job' yet, but we're growing so it's moving in that direction. This fall I'll begin working at the coffee shop in some capacity, whereas right now my wife and I work at a small travel agency.

Anyway, we're scouting for our second location and hope to be able to have that in place next summer. The goal is to have small, christian communities within walking distance of everyone in downtown Minneapolis. So, we've got a long way to go.

BTW... is that you in that picture? At first glance, I thought it was Henry Rollins (http://www.ifc.com/ifc/img/news_032806_henry_img.jpg), but now I'm not sure.

Hi Tony -
Thanks for coming in! I bet you'll find lots of worshipers and artists here who would love to come play in your coffee house! (myself included!)

Well come on by. We have live music every Friday night, at least. Let's set up a jam session.
