Switchfoot Gives "Almighty" Performance
Switchfoot recently headlined the sold-out "Rock the Boat" concert sponsored by new motion picture Evan Almighty and in support of Christian housing ministry Habitat for Humanity. The show also featured Relient K and Jeremy Camp and is now re-airing at HollywoodJesus.com (looking at pop culture from a spiritual point of view).
The popular site has also posted an interview with Switchfoot about its work and the Evan Almighty film starring Steve Carell (The Office) as a modern-day man called on by God to build an ark.
The Evan Almighty performance was an extension of Switchfoot's charitable work. The multi-platinum band recently held its third annual Bro-Am surf tournament to support worthwhile organizations in its hometown of San Diego. In a surprising twist, a last-minute oil spill closed the beach, so the surfing event switched to a friendly community game of dodge ball. Switchfoot bass player Tim Foreman talks about that day's events here.
Up next, Switchfoot will share songs including the #1 hit "Awakening" from its hugely acclaimed new album OH! GRAVITY at summer music festivals around the United States. Check concert dates at Switchfoot.com.
