Have not heard of them, but reminds me of both Keith Green and Rich Mullins, popular Christian singers that died suddenly in accidents. I saw Rich Mullins about 2 weeks before his death. A couple friends of mine saw him at a music festival and they asked me if we should go talk to him. I said no since I wasn’t that into his music. I have to admit, I wish I’d spoken to him. ---
