RevGen 2010 TobyMac Video

Labor Day Weekend surely ROCKED! Eclectic Sound TV caught TobyMac back on stage Sunday night for Revelation Generation (RevGen) 2010! Just off of his tour with Skillet who played the same venue Saturday night. Best concert to date!

TobyMac & the E.R.A.C.E All Star Jam closed another fantastic RevGen with Phil Keaggy, Natalie Grant, Bernard Harris, Mark Broussard, Lou Gramm, (front man for Foreigner), Mary Mary and more fantastic artists. 60 + bands plus other events such as a skateboarding / freestyle demonstrations, volleyball, hot food and face painting made this a true end-of-summer festival.

Grammy Award winner TobyMac has sold 2 million albums in his solo career with a fusion of R & B, Rock and Hip Hop. His shows are always fresh with non-stop B-boying, acrobatics and jumps. Showcasing top notch vocals, dance and rapping, his set is NOT to be missed.

Stand out vocals, staging and the first pyrotechnics show done on a RevGen stage made this a memorable performance. Coming off of the Alive & Awake Tour with TobyMac, Skillet nailed "Monster" and "Those Nights". Check out their latest CD.

Stand out performance of the day was Matt's high energy lead vocals and dancing on "Let it Roll". ULTRA Sweet while getting the audience totally involved!

A band to watch on the rise is Nothing More who played the Philadelphia Stage on Sunday. We caught their exciting set and thought Johnny Hawkins' moving a drum kit out front to be very fresh and innovative! RevGen as always was clean, well organized with everyone being so courteous making this a concert you can bring the whole family to. Want more information on how you can attend next year?

Revelation Generation's 2008 Concert

These Aussies offer amazing showmanship and light show effects coupled with a positive message of hope. We will be featuring Peter's, (pictured above on guitar), interview with insider tips on his recording studio and song writing experiences in our article, "Your Home Recording Studio".

Doing cuts from Portable Sounds & Diverse City, they were perhaps the most rockin' show of the evening. Right: Toby at our press conference where he discussed his latest project, the album "Alive and Transported", a DVD and CD combo which we will be reviewing right here.

Other fantastic performances of the day included sets by acoustic guitarist, Phil Keaggy, Kutless, (Sea of Faces) metalcore Skillet and Sixpence None the Richer, (Kiss Me). With attendance nearing an estimated 30,000, concert goers were well behaved and the event staff very much on top of it. Most memorable performances of this event were by Tobymac with his no holds barred, R & B flavored Hip-Hop. Great old school style funk with some fresh twists, these guys were off the hook for dance, vocals and musicianship. The Newsboys capped off the evening with a steller performance which included lightshow effects reminiscent of the Backstreet Boys shows we've attended. In its 3rd year, the Revelation Generation Concerts are billed as a "Christian" music festival, but these high powered performances rival any of the secular concerts I've covered.

There was a wide range of musical styles represented from Industrial Metal to Hip-Hop and everything in between. This is also great venue for fresh, innovative talent such as Matt Wertz, Shawn McDonald and Bethany Dillon while offering the public a family friendly farmland space to enjoy a day out. We can't wait to see what Revelation Generation has to offer for 2009!
