Day Zero Returns for 2008 - August 6
Day Zero...We are thrilled to have Year 2 of Day Zero...being able to offer our community a totally FREE Christian concert experience is right in line with our overall mission as an organization. We want EVERYONE to be able to come down and be a part of Unity, with no barriers..this special night makes that possible, thanks to our generous sponsors.
We also are dedicated to making the Day Zero lineup first class...and we think we have nailed it for 2008. GRITS, Stellar Kart and Pillar, plus opener The Fabulous, are all top notch touring acts with great fan bases, tons of awards and new material in the market..this will be a GREAT show.
