ROUGH DRAFT Powerful. Impactful. Life changing. These are just a few words - words directly from the mouths of Rough Draft fans - that describe the band's music, message and ministry. Already generating a buzz in Nashville and beyond, Rough Draft is putting its mission of "reaching the lost and encouraging the found" into practice through a hard-hitting alternative rock sound and well-crafted lyrics that both challenge and inspire. "It's been a crazy ride so far," says singer/guitarist Andrew Wittenauer, "and the craziest part is that it feels like this is just the beginning. When I look back at what God has done through this band and the four of us it just blows me away. I don't think anyone - except for God - could have predicted it. We feel truly blessed to be doing what we're doing and we can't wait to see what God has in store." No stranger to success, in 2008 Rough Draft was the winner of the Gospel Music Association band competition at Music in the Rockies. Following the victory, the band continued to carve out a name for itself with multiple guest appearances on the syndicated radio show Total Axxess, performances at several 2008 summer music festivals - including the Souled Out Stage at LifeLight - and sharing stages with some of Christian music's top acts, including a tour in support of Sanctus Real. Averaging 150 shows per year - all the way from Florida to Alaska - Rough Draft has sold 4,000 plus copies - and counting - of its demo and debut album as an independent band.
