Biography
Our band formed around 2011, members are Anna who plays guitar, piano and sings, Stephanie who plays drums and sings, Andrea who plays guitar and sings, and Josh who plays bass and sings. We are from Fort Lawn-Lancaster and Kershaw SC. We don't have a set genre, because we play anywhere from acoustic to heavy rock. Our name Sustaining Point came of the verse in the bible, Psalms 55:22 and we came together because we love music, and we want to give people a place where they can let go of whatever they are struggling with and get lost in the music and find hope, that no matter what they are going through, they are never alone. We have influences from bands like Need2Breathe, Skillet, Barlowgirl, Brandi Carlile, and many more! Each of our styles are so different that it gives us a unique style we still don't know yet what to call. We had a man named Larry Sims that brought us together and formed us along with keep us together through the years until he passed away in a horrible wreak. He always instilled in us that if we loved God and played and had fun and could help some people along the way, then never stop! We have played in many areas from Great Falls all the way to Nashville where we played for the Objective for The Extreme Tour. We have worked along side of Jamey Wooten and Whiskey Throttle Productions through several events over the years as well in Chester. We have strived to always be more than musicians but to use music as a platform to connect with people, give a voice to the broken, the hurt, the left behind, because we too know those feelings all too well. We have played for events such as relay for life for Chester County, the Open Door youth events, benefits for hurting families, The Flopeye Fish Festival back in 2012, The objective in Nashville in 2015, and many in between. We may just be getting started, but our journey is far from over. We recorded our first official professional EP with The Basement Studios in Winston Salem with Jamie King in march 2016, which has been an incredible experience we cant wait to go back for record the full album! We believe Sustaining Point is a name of hope, and a point you come to when you just have to trust in God and know that whatever you're fighting, God will sustain you. We write songs to fit not into just one category, to fit whatever situation you are going through in whatever background, life style, or perspective you come from, and to rock your face off with as well. Our story has just began to be written.
The scripture behind our name is Psalms 55:22 (Cast your cares on the Lord, and He will sustain you).
Everyone has problems, fears, doubts, and old habits that seem to keep you stuck in the same place or something you can't seem to beat. Psalms 55:22 has helped members of the band personally and will help you to if you truly believe in God's promise. Let the music and words God says through us make a point of hope in what you face day to day. Never give up hope, and keep believing because you are worth it; just ask God, His son died for you!
