Jeremy Camp Concert

This past Saturday night, Ryan and I ventured to Fort Wayne to work the Jeremy Camp concert. I'd seen Jeremy in concert before - at the E-Women conference. But this was my first time to see him in concert by himself.

Gorgeous day for a drive...

Prior to the show, we went to the Meet and Greet with Jeremy and his band. Y'all, I have to tell you - there are some artists who come in and deliver a great show, but they are kind of guarded when you talk to them. Jeremy is not one of those. Probably one of my favorite Meet and Greets ever. Really sweet spirit and willingness to engage in conversation...and share with the people.  And not just Jeremy...the whole band was that way.

After the Meet and Greet, we actually got to have our picture taken with him - and I got a high five from him for carrying the station banner into the hallway. {This concludes the embarrassing fan report.}

Lynne and I worked this concert together...first one we've worked together in just about 2 years!

And of course, I had the most handsome date in the whole building!!

{I adore it that he's willing to put on his station shirt and jump right in to work with the rest of us. Husband of the year award!}


Lynne and I went on stage with Ron before the concert. This is how we amuse ourselves while we wait our turn:

Then we were good and professional:

Threw some frisbees. {badly.}

Then it was time for the concert to get underway! The opening group was Jasper Stone - a praise team from Plymouth Wesleyan Church in Plymouth, Indiana. They were powerhouses!!

And then Adam Cappa played a few songs. We'd seen him at the Mercy Me concert a few months ago - really down-to-earth and personable guy. Good to hear him again!

And then Jeremy Camp took the stage! Here are some of the pictures I took throughout the evening:

 {Hey lookie here! Caught a pic of the face of the guy on the right! They told us in the Meet and Greet that his hair would always be over his face while he was playing, and they were right! Except right here.}

 Reckless: Amazing song.

 Does he have a gym on his bus? Impressive that he can work out so much while traveling so much!

 Gotta tell you - this man's heart for the Lord is contagious.

 He shared his testimony. Talk about redemption. God has worked in huge ways.

 Even though it was a performance, it was so much more. It was worship.

 And he can SING. Just as good in person as he is on the radio. That's a gift.

 This sweet lady was in the back row and she was having some CHURCH back there. I loved seeing her hand raised the whole time.

 He had the crowd on its feet!

 Just so happened that Jeremy's drummer had a birthday the day of the concert. So we had a brief break for a birthday party. They brought him a cake and a sash....

 And a bit of a silly string shower.

 And the silly string shower turned into a bit of a competition!

 Busted!!

 Jeremy's from Lafayette, Indiana, so a bunch of his family members came to the concert. {His little nephew crawled up on the stage and asked for cake. PRECIOUS!!!} And then Jeremy did a song together with his dad, who TORE IT UP on the harmonica.

Jeremy Camp, you are a class act and an amazing witness. Thanks for a great night of worship!
