The Sean Michel Band, from Arkansas, came to Chile on a musical missions trip.
Sean Michel gained notoriety by appearing on American idol in 2007. Though Sean had to be talked into going on the show, his audition video went viral online and has given him recognition worldwide.
At first, Sean and the band just used their music to raise money for mission trips. But along the way, they realized their music was useful for more than just financing, and it became the focus of their trips.
The band uses soulful blues-rock to reach groups that don’t come to church. Playing in bars and open-air concerts in poor neighborhoods they sing about the human condition and hope in Christ - Always inviting local church members to come and start conversations about faith with other attendees.
I didn’t meet the band until their lasts days here, but I went with them to their last show in Valparaiso. It was a blast getting to hang with guys my age from the States – and to hear some great music.
