Christian rock bands Big Daddy Weave and Overflow will be performing on Friday, April 29 at 7 p.m. at Brooks Stadium at Coastal Carolina University. Tickets are $10 general admission and $5 Coastal students. Tickets go on sale Thursday, April 7 at the Wheelwright Box Office, and will also be available at the stadium the day of the show. Gates will open at 6 p.m.

Big Daddy Weave is one of Christian music’s fastest rising rock bands of the year. Their single “One And Only” hit the Christian Soundscan Charts at number 5, making it the highest debut for a new artist in 2002. Their first single, “In Christ,” became the highest chart single for a new artist the following year as well. Big Daddy Weave also received a New Artist of the Year Dove nomination.

Big Daddy Weave’s latest single, a collaboration with the Christian band Barlow Girl, is “Worthy of Praise.” The song, currently at number three on the AC indicator charts, is featured on the album Absolute Modern Worship and will be on Big Daddy Weave’s third studio release, What I Was Made For, to be released this summer.

Overflow, the opening act, is a young five-member South Carolina band that has been called “a young Third Day.” Their hit songs include “Better Place,” “Forever,” “Gotta Believe It” and “My Days Are Better.”

Overflow, which takes its name from Psalm 23:5, began as a church youth group. The band members are now in their early 20s.

The Office of Student Activities and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes are sponsoring the concert. Call the Wheelwright Box Office at 349-2502 for tickets or more information.
