Hi Everyone - We are planning another tour - FINALLY! We are planning to be on the road from October 22-26, 2014. We will be travelling to northern Ohio, western and middle Pennsylvania. We'll post the schedule when it's confirmed, but we are really excited about getting out again to the glory of God and sharing our testimony in music.
We continue to try to raise funds to do a Music Video to "Cardboard Hotel." We have already shot band footage. What remains is to get Gilbert and Scott to Mexico with Videographer David Sollenberger to shoot the onsite film at the landfills and with the people who's courageous lives inspired the song. You can make a donation through CrowdRise.com, or just send something to Gilbert or Scott. We are trying to raise $2500.
God is great and God is good! Have you heard our newest song yet? "When Grandma Prays." Haven't even recorded it yet, but we used it in Spanish in Puerto Rico. Wow! What a response!! Hopefully you can hear it in October. We'll keep you posted with tour details.
News, Tour Dates, and Songs from the Bittersweet Gospel Band!
About the Band
- Bittersweet Gospel Band
- The Bittersweet Gospel Band began as an extension of Bittersweet Ministries, at the time a rehabilitation home for men in East Los Angeles. The home, founded by Pastor Gilbert Romero, was a half-way house, a safe place, where men young and old could find stability, self-discipline and healing from their broken lives as gang members, drug users, alcoholics,and the abuse they suffered from the hands of others. Pastor Gilbert came out of this same world when God called him to ministry. In the mid-1990's, the Band began to minister to the main stream of the Church of the Brethren, and to other denominational and non-denominational churches as well, with a focus on reaching out to youth and breaking down walls of cultural division. With the Band's music and Gilbert's preaching, Bittersweet concerts take on a revival atmosphere. Pastor Gilbert is a dynamic speaker and presenter, as well as a smooth vocalist, percussionist, and songwriter. Joining him since 1997 is Pastor Scott Duffey, who plays guitar, sings, and also writes some of the music. Scott and Gilbert are from different worlds, but God has put them together as a model for intercultural ministry.
