NEW JERSEY, USA - Quoted as being one of the most essential bands to Christian music by multiple artists, Delirious? (yes, the question mark is part of the name) recently brought its heart-felt worship to the United States.
Alongside other Christian divas Rebecca St. James and Vicky Beeching, the band - which consists of Marin Smith (vocals), Stu G (guitar, backup vocals), Jon Thatcher (bass guitar), Tim Jupp (keys, piano), and Stew Smith (drums, percussion) - ended their Worship Revolution Tour at Secaucus, New Jersey, just outside New York, this past Saturday.
In an interview with Delirious? member Thatcher outside the concert hall, the bass guitarist shared his experience of being on the road and his reflection on his life as a musician.As was evident from their concert and from the interview, it is clear that these performers are still on fire for the God that they praise. In all they do, they wish to glorify God.
The following are excerpts from the interview:
You and the band are just ending your U.S. portion of the Worship Revolution Tour. How has it been? Have you all enjoyed it? Any highlights?
Thatcher: Yeah, it's been a great time. As you can see behind, we've got four buses on the road - Rebecca St. James, Vicky Beeching, and Delirious?.
We've also brought our wives and kids along with us. So we've got five wives between us and 16 children. It's been an absolute circus, but it's been great for the children to experience what we do.
We're away so often that, when we can make it work for them, we try to get them out. You'll see them on stage tonight. They absolutely love it.
