"inside" 

The debut CD by Carpenter’s Union  

- released April 10, 2003

  Ten original songs written by singer/guitarist Pastor Steve Griffin
and a cover of a song by The Five O'clock People grace this first CD.

Songs range from the audience favorite ballad "I Need You" to the heavy

"Calls To Me Again".  This is a dynamic CD of varying styles of Christian rock music.
Steve's Lyrics are simple but deceptively deep, heartfelt, and thoughtful.

Our sound has been compared (loosely) to Third Day, Hootie & The Blowfish, and Creed.

This was their monthly "family night"...we had a full crowd of patrons and family although you don't see them...the camera was running on its own from half way back in the room behind a piano so it wouldn't get knocked over.  We apologize for the quality, but I wanted to get an idea of the sound in the room using our new BOSE sound system.  I think it turned out okay...the room lacked some bass, and the mandolin was down in the mix, but the guitar and the vocal sound pretty nice.
