Featuring Special Guests

PETRA ‘72

Formed in 1972, Petra is regarded as the most influential band of the Christian rock genre and a pioneer of the counterculture Jesus Movement. Myrrh Records owner Billy Ray Hearn signed Petra to their first recording contract and stated that Petra was "the most radical thing around ... as far out as anything that had come out until that time.”

Church authorities struggled with and frequently opposed the use of rock music and few Christian radio stations would play the band's songs. The anthem "God Gave Rock and Roll to You" was among the songs on their second album. The song was immediately controversial – and revolutionary. "It was the boldest statement anyone in Christian music had made until then," said Ambassador Artist Agency president Wes Yoder. "

Through 50+ years of music, Petra has garnered 4 GRAMMY® awards, 13 Dove Awards, and was the first rock band inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame. However, Petra’s legacy is not the awards won, but one rooted in the uncompromising commitment of pointing people to Christ through their music.

Petra ‘72 features original founding members Greg Hough, Bill Glover, and John DeGroff.

Nikita Koloff

“More than accolades on a football field or winning championship belts in a wrestling ring, my journey with Jesus is the true highlight of my life. The fact I get to partner with Him, travel the world, preach the Good News, call myself a child of God, and help build His Kingdom is the highest honor bestowed upon a man I believe.”
