🎵 Post-Game Concert with Sanctus Real
Saturday, April 27th, 2019
Game begins at 5:00pm with concert following

The Crawdads are excited to announce that their post-game Christian Concert series kicks off with Sanctus Real, presented by Billy Graham Training Center at The Cove and 106.9 The Light.  Sanctus Real will perform following the Crawdads game on Saturday, April 27th.  The game, against the Lakewood BlueClaws, begins at 5:00pm, and the concert will begin immediately following the conclusion of the game.  Individual tickets start at $16 while the group rate (for 20 or more) is only $12. 

Sanctus Real has been recording for over 20 years and has released six studio albums. The group won the GMA Dove Award for Modern Rock Album of the Year in 2005 for their album "Fight the Tide." They have been nominated for six other GMA Dove Awards and a pair of Grammys.

Sanctus Real says the focus of their music is hope found in an unchanging Savior and how change can bring about personal redemption. "We're a group of guys making music together as opposed to a group of guys getting behind a song. We're focusing back on the simple message of the gospel," says drummer Mark Graalman. "It's the simplest message of God's love."
