SONICFLOOd
Amidst rumors of a band break-up, modern rock
worship band SONICFLOOd recently launched the 30-city SONICPRAISe Tour.
Between now and November, the tour will visit markets including Cincinnati,
Denver, Seattle, and Minneapolis before ending in Atlanta on November 12.
In addition, SONICFLOOd has recently signed new management and booking
agreement with Muse Management and The Breen Agency.
The concert tour will take the local praise and worship events that began as
a monthly citywide gathering in Nashville on the road and to a national
audience. Lead by the same vision as the Nashville events-to promote unity
and healing and bring God’s people together to change the nation one
community at a time-SONICFLOOd plans include time to go into each city and
meet with local church leaders to pray for the specific needs of the city.
SONICFLOOd will be joined by Tree 63, a new band on Inpop Records.

up is Gabe, Phil, and John. They have many exciting irons in the fire, we’ll
keep you posted.
