Prior to establishing themselves as a band in 2008, The Spark was simply a small group of musicians filling a need for worship music within their local church in Kenosha, WI. As a by-product of the Living Light School of Worship Internship Program (http://www.schoolofworship.us), they soon realized that their impact was as dynamic as their sound. Their debut full-length live album entitled "Your Love Is Strong," (released in August 2010) is a vital melding of new and old, fresh and familiar. The Spark tears the ribbon off the neatly packaged box that most contemporary Christian sound fits into. They explore the depth of worship that is only possible when the Word of God is sought honestly and humbly, something that front man Chris Marvin feels is the band's foundation. "I think there's great danger in writing songs for other people to sing while failing to stay true to their message on a personal level," he says. "I want to make sure that we actually hold our own relationship with the Lord higher than a stage where we tell other people to be close to God."



Jetty Rae is a singer-songwriter based out of Ann Arbor Michigan, originally from Northern Michigan. Jetty has been singing, touring, and recording for the past five years. While living in Hawaii for two years, she became inspired and picked up the guitar—and made many friends, which led to her first regular gigs at a place called “Dirty Jakes.” Jetty would play facing the ocean, as she recalls one time a man was so at peace while she was playing he fell asleep in his bar stool. While in Hawaii, she also joined the rap and hip-hop group Soul Chronicle, and toured the Hawaiian Islands, as well as mainland China with them. Her short stint with Soul Chronicle opened up other doors for her to record with other hip-hop groups such as The S.O.G. crew. With her first experiences in the studio under her belt, Jetty left the Independent hip-hop world for a more organic, folk sound.
