Jupiter Wind consists of Shane White (guitarist), Matt Hawkins (vocals/bass
player), Heath Rankin (vocals/guitarist), and Jack Eason (acoustic/lead vocals).
"I think back to the time that Shane White walked into our church looking for
hope and was instantly connected through the music that night. God used the
music to reach him and out of that experience that night our friendship was
formed," says Matt Hawkins, bass player for Jupiter Wind. The guy sharing the
music that night was Jack Eason, now guitarist/vocalist/songwriter for the
Spartanburg, SC –based group Jupiter Wind, then just a solo act sharing songs
and his testimony. "God is obviously up to something, all the time, but the last few months, he has been impressing upon our hearts', that it's time to "kick it up a notch"," says Jack. "We feel like God has given us an increased passion for this generation, a generation that for the most part, people are not helping to grow up to be people of God." As the years passed, Hawkins, Eason, and White continued their friendship, and added guitar player Heath Rankin to round out the team. The last few years they have been sharing what has brought them all together, the hope that comes from Jesus Christ. Each of the guys is thankful for the unique team of people God has put around them, a team that wants to go out and continue to impact students through their musical talents. That fusion that brought this musical group together seems unlikely given the randomness of their meeting. But it is obvious God has brought them together with a common purpose. "We have played lots of shows and and played together and worshipped together. All these things have really pulled us together with a like mind and heart. The more students we see (and adults) the more challenged we have been to help effectively communicate how important it is that we live for God everyday. As students, it's so easy to live for God on Wednesday or on Sunday or at church camp, but how do we do it everyday? That's what we want to help people learn how to do," White, guitarist for the group, shares. |
