Soul Support Continued from Page 1 Lincoln will be Sept. 25 at Central Alliance Church. With so much going on, time and money arc often scarce for Soul Support. Quade. a baritonc/tcnor. has put on hold his UNL studies in music education. “I think that we, all being col lege students and so, have to work a little bit to pay the bills," he said “And it’s getting to the point where we have to decide whether to go to school, or pay the bills or do Soul Support." Matthews said, “What I think is the hope and dream is that we'll be doing this full-time by spring.” The music But the five-man crew isn't try ing to rush things. I nstead, they arc waiting for God to reveal His plan for them, they said. “There are many doors He has opened forus." Matthewssaid. “and some He hasn’t opened for us yet. because maybe we're not ready.” It's certainly not a lack of talent or practice that keeps Soul Support from hitting it big. Each member has been singing for years, the group said, and they meet to rehearse about three times a week. The music that Soul Support per forms features close-knit harmo nies and finger-snapping, and it sty listically borrows some character istics from music by other Christian vocal groups, such as Glad or Take 6. that have performed a cappclla Soul Support's songs arc cither original compositions, written by Wayne or Todd Boesigcr (yes. they're brothers), or original ar rangements of established songs like hymns. The result is an eclectic blend of music styles, including jazz, pop. rap and gospel. This makes their music hard to categorize, they said “We try to keep a variety of music styles.” Quade said. “There fore. it's hard to describe what we fit into.” But what inspires the songs, and stands out in them, arc their per sonal experiences, “the Lord’s do ings in our life,” Todd Bocsigcr said. “I don’t know if we think about (inspiration) as much as some other songwriters do,’’ Wayne Boesigcr, low tenor, said. Matthews mentioned one par ticular God-given talent of Wayne Bocsiger's that has helped “Wayne has perfect pitch, so he’s sat in his insurance office and done pages (of music) sometimes.’’ One of their songs. “Far Beyond the Realm,” which is about the death of his and Todd’s grandmother. “Somewhere far beyond the realm of sin and suffering / I’ll sec your face one glorious day standing with the King of Kings” makes up part of the song's refrain, convey ing the Christian tenets that all five believe. Ministry That's the whole point of all of the group's songs, and the main reason that there is a Soul Support: expressing the Word of God. “Our ministry has been to en courage Christians who'vc been having difficulties.” Todd Bocsigcr said. The group encourages through its music by “giving a testimony of what God has done in our life, and the changes that Jesus Christ has made in our lives.” said Nelson, who contributes his low. low bass voice to Soul Support. Most of the group's opportuni ties to minister have come with “We all see so much pain in the youth, and to just have the opportunity to influence them is a tremendous thing." m JON MATTHEWS Soul Support member younger people, from kids to young adults their own ages. “We all sec so much pain in the youth, and to just have the opportu nity to influence them is a tremen dous thing," Matthews said. This summer, the group was able to reach a large youth audience at Love Fesl. a Christian music festi val in Milford. The group’s members said they performed for approximately 8(K) people at the event. The entire fes tival usually draws 10 to 12 times that number, they said. “The response we got from them (at Love Fest) is that we think the Lord has empowered us to reach those who don't know him yet." Matthews said. “We all feel a calling to minister to non-Christians, as well as Chris tians. but it scares us." Quadc added. “It’s tough to realize that the Holy Spirit will give you the words." Even though they're reaching out to support others' faith. Soul Support's members said they’ve been boosted, too. “The group has changed my life a lot... by just reading His Word and taking a stand for it," Wayne Bocsigcr said. Nelson said. “I found that I take a lot of basic Christian beliefs for granted." The future So far. Soul Support has been taken for granted by record compa nies. Three firms have contacted the group, but none would sign Soul Support. “A company called — Brentwood, out of Nashville—and told us they couldn't lake us on because of marketing schematics that say a cappclla music isn’t on the rise." Matthews said. But the group remains hopeful that something will come along. “Right now. we're looking to be picked upby a label. Lord willing," Todd Bocsigcr said. Until then. Soul Support will continue performing as much as possible, something the quintet looks forward to. "We all feel a calling to minister to non Christians, as well as Christians, hut it scares us. It’s tough to realize that the Holy Spirit will give you the words. ” ■ BRIAN QUADE Soul Support member “Next year, a lot of the concert sites we're going to be servicing are places we've serviced before.'' Matthews said. That prospect will keep the Bocsigcr brothers busy writing new songs, Todd said. These songs could be part of a CD the group hopes to make. A lot of money is required to produce a compact disc, they said, and that's been a problem for them so far. Soul Support has produced a demo tape, appropriately titled “Soul Support: The Demo.” The five-song tape is available at the Maranatha Christian Resource Cen ter in Lincoln. Matthews said. “Right now it's No. 6 on the Maranatha top 20 list." he said. “And Wayne and Todd's mom says, ‘It's the Best!*” Wayne added. The demo hasn’t received air play because of its tape format, Todd said, but one Lincoln station will be playing from it soon. On Sept. 24, one day before Soul Support’s concert at Central Alli ance. the group's music is sched uled to be heard on the “Heart and Soul" program on radio station KFRX. The group hopes to gain more local exposure from the occasion, and to reach more people. But it’s not the music that reaches the audi ence. Matthews said. “The music isjust music. 1 don’t think it's the music that moves them. It's the Spirit that moves them.” opera Continued from Page 9 Bustenid know how serious — and tedious — it is. Although Alexander makes her Opera Omaha debut as Anna Glawari, the show will mark her third appear ance as the young widow. She also played the role—as an understudy— with both the Michigan Opera Theatre and Opera Pacific. Alexander said her role with Opera Omaha was special, because she would get a chance to really work through the role. “It's vocally and dramatically a lot of fun. There's a lot of challenging dialogue with it.” she said. She said acting a more difficult role i n an operetta was a unique expe rience. “I'm not so worried about it vo cally.” she said. “There’s more of a general feeling about this piece about different preparations and concentra tion.” “You re only as good as your last performance. ” ■ JAMES BUSTERUD Actor Bustcrud. who once was chosen personally by Leonard Bernstein to debut in Italy as Schaunard in “La Bohcme,” said success in opera was similar to that in a professional sport. “There almost has to be an obses sion accompanying a need built in to achieve or succeed.” he said. “You’re only as good as your last performance. “It's tough to rest on any laurels. That's true in a sport where the com petition just keeps getting better.” “The Merry Widow” will premiere tonight at 7:30.
