Put 5 guys together that grew up with influences as diverse as: Aerosmith, Henry Mancini, the Four Seasons, Styx, the Beatles, Monty Python, Barbershop, B.J. Thomas, Boston, Saturday Night Live, Glen Miller, Journey, Doo Wop, Hank Williams, Stevie Ray Vaughn, (and more recently Third Day, Veggie Tales, Wes King and Petra); throw in some Marshall amplifiers, drums, and a whole bunch of other instruments; put God right smack dab in the center, and you've got Heaven Sown!!
Art Sarkkinen, Willy Scott, Dan Drouillard, Dave Drouillard, and Louis Margitan make up the heart of one of the fastest growing ministries in southeast Michigan. After at least 50 years of performing at the professional level between them, they've finally ended up right where they believe that God wants them to be. They all agree that, collectively, after touring, both the U.S. and Europe, performing in international Barbershop competitions, being involved with various recording projects, doing the club and wedding circuits, and even opening for Ted Nugent, there came a time in each of their lives when they realized where their talent came from, and what they needed to be doing with it!
These guys like to rock, but they love the Rock (no, not that goofy wrestler), and believe no musical style is untouchable when it comes to communicating God's word! Heaven Sown has recorded 3 studio projects, Sowing the Seeds of Faith, Message for the Blind, and their brand new release: It's About Time!
There are times to get quiet with God, and then there are times to hang out with Heaven Sown!!!!
