BIOGRAPHY

Last Day’s goal is to get everyone, especially young people, involved in worshiping and praising God through music in order to experience God in a whole new way.

The band also wants to be a positive role model for other young musicians so they will consider using their musical talents to glorify God instead of turning to secular music.

Last Day, formed in 2001, started out as their church’s youth-group band but has grown to performing for and exciting audiences across the country with an energized style that is designed to bring young people, and those young-at-heart, closer to God. Since, releasing their first album, “Astray,” in 2005 the group has been going non-stop.

 Their second album, “Happy Medium,” was released in 2006 and had critics saying, “This album cuts through the predictability of modern Christian music with an undoubtedly fresh rock sound and a coinciding spiritual tenderness that shows the young members’ yearning for something more than just great music.”

Their most recent release, “We’re Here,” is now available and is receiving great reviews.

The present lineup in Last Day consists of Matt Jackson, who plays both acoustic and electric guitar and the band’s distinctive sound stems from his powerful lead vocals. Then there is our rockin’ bassist, Joe Tabeling.  The newest addition to the band is John (JB) Bose, who plays multiple instruments including trombone and harp but will be primarily confining his talents to guitar and keyboard. Last, but certainly not least, supplying the driving beat of the band, is our drummer, Nathan Lubbers.

Last Day is not about putting on a concert or show; their mission is to write and perform music that helps lift the listener’s heart, mind and soul to God. Wherever possible, they display their lyrics so people can worship right along with them. Their performances are a mix of original songs that touch and challenge the audience to take a step back and look at their lives from a different perspective, and favorite cover songs with which everyone can sing along.
