About the Band

My photo
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.

IT'S HERE!  Our latest album is now available and can be found on most streaming sites.  Just follow the link below.  "When Grandma Prays" was recorded in the fall, just before Covid-19 struck, so the mix sat in the studio.  Then the studio, "Blue Sprocket" in Harrisonburg, burned down the in the spring of 2020.  So we waited until we could get access to our music mixes in the cloud, reconnecting to our sound engineer, Taylor Bess, who had moved to Richmond with "In Your Ear Studios."  Finally, we got things remixed and mastered, and we are releasing them to you.

Please take a listen on your favorite streaming site, or download it from Itunes or Amazon, and let us know what you think.  The music of the Bittersweet Gospel Band is a ministry to share the love of God and inspire our living.
