Breathe Deep

May 7-9, 2009

Great Wolf Lodge, Grapevine, TX

Special Guests
	BARRY CRAFT - TWO TENORS With one of them in a tuxedo, the other in jeans, they present a unique blend of powerful sacred classics and Christian contemporary music to concert halls and churches around the world. The Two Tenors concert is the result of an unlikely collaboration between veteran international operatic tenor Barry Craft, and singer/song writer/guitarist/ Ben Owens.
	Keith L. Cooper Clearly an amazing talent with a unique style of ministry tied with his intricate acoustic guitar performance. The Dallas Morning News hails, “Able to pick with blistering speed, laying down layers of sound with his simple six-string, the Dallas-based Mr. Cooper can keep up with anyone”. “It all started when I gave my life to Christ”, says Cooper, now 30. Seeing Keith live is unforgettable. His use of alternate guitar techniques blended with showmanship and style leave the audience breathless. Playing the guitar like a piano, creating drum grooves on the body of the guitar while sounding melodies and harmonies makes one think they are hearing an entire orchestra.
