The Torn Curtain Ministries

by Charles Owens II
(Somerville, AL)

A Christian Rock/Praise and Worship band that truly loves and glorifies Christ through their music.

"We love Jesus. We like to sing and play music for Him...in a loud sort of way. We want to shout His love across the nations so that all can hear. And while we're at it, we're going to turn up our guitar amps, shake the place down with some drum beats, and even bust out some soulful harmonica licks. How about that?

"The Torn Curtain is the coolest, crunkified Southern Christian Rock band with face-melting guitar licks, smash mouthin' harmonica riffs, seriously sick bass jives, and delicious drum solos. Vivid vocals sold separately, but all this for the glory of our risen King Jesus Christ!!!"

Band Members include CHARLES OWENS II, DAVID "VERN" SHARP, HARREL OWENS-

Musical influences include Jesus, Third Day, Casting Crowns, Chris Tomlin, Jeremy Camp,Kutless, etc.

The Torn Curtain Ministries Band perform in all sorts of events from D-now, to concerts, retreats, Fifth Quarters and more!

"Charles came to lead a DiscipleNow Weekend for us a few years ago. He is a gifted worship leader and muscian. He connected immediately with the kids and led us effectively in worship. Most of all, I appreciated Charles's spirit. It was obvious that his main objective was to be used by God during the weekend and he was sensitive to our needs and where our students were. You would be blessed to have him and the Torn Curtain come and be a part of your special events." –Lynn Turner, Youth Minister, FBC Richmond, VA
