Album Notes

Two Cent Offering was formed in 2007 when friends Chris Zobac, Patrick Jenkins, Keith Lang and Jacob Allen united around a common interest for recording and performing original music with a lasting message. Drawing upon a wide range of influences spanning classic and modern rock, singer/songwriters, and rhythm & blues, the band creates a fresh sound that is rooted in rich musical history. Combining poignant lyrics with memorable melodies, the band's unique and accessible progressive folk rock sound encourages the listener as it blends message with craft in a way that makes both stronger in the end.

Two Cent Offering takes its name from Luke 21:1-4. "As he looked up, Jesus saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury. He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. 'I tell you the truth,' he said, 'this poor widow has put in more than all the others. . . she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.'" Just as the widow gave all she had to the Lord, it is the desire of the members of Two Cent Offering to give all their gifts to God. Two Cent Offering follows the Apostle Paul's charge to "be filled with the Spirit. Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord" (Ephesians 5:18-19) With a rapidly growing fan base and two albums under their belt, the members of Two Cent Offering continue to tour, making appearances at churches, coffee houses, colleges and music festivals.
