BIO

Sevenglory is a vocal-driven pop rock band who has been touring independently since 2001. Fred Butson (lead vocals, guitar) and Gabe Johannes (percussion, background vocals) started the band under the name Bliss. When they first met there was a short exchange of words that went something like this: (Gabe) “Dude, we should rock out sometime!” (Fred) “Sure man, let’s do it.” Amazingly, a year later they found themselves as roommates. Along with Fred Butson and Gabe Johannes, the original members, Sevenglory now consists of Caleb Johannes (Bass) and Josh Parsons (Lead Electric).

“Over The Rooftops,” Sevenglory’s first full length CD, came out in November of 2004. The CD was released under 7Spin Music, whom they signed with in January of 2004. Mastering engineers Bob Ludwig (noted for work with Bob Dylan, Nirvana, The Rolling Stones, Third Day), and Paul Salvenson, aka “Salvo,” (responsible for the popular sounds of artists Mercy Me, FFH, and DC Talk) contributed to the finished sound of the album.

Sevenglory has seen God’s hand at work through this ministry and although they love the music, the reason they make the sacrifice of life on the road is for the sake of the kingdom of Christ. The music is only an avenue to touch lives of those who are seeking after Christ.
