Jesus Music

An entire generation of hippies, music lovers and fans gathered in southern California in the late 60's early 70's, many of them attending Chuck Smith's Calvary Chapel. The birth of contemporary Christian rock can in part be traced to a vision received by a 17-year-old runaway from Costa Mesa named Lonnie Frisbee. The bell-bottomed messenger Frisbee was converting hippies and transforming Calvary Chapel into a haven for touched-by-the-spirit bands such as Love Song, Gentle Faith, Blessed Hope and Children of the Day and many many more.
