John Grooters & Dwight Beal have been writing and recording music together since the late 1980's. Their collaboration birthed the "Rock Vespers" production, a Christmas rock concert that quickly became a Midwest favorite and has fueled the creativity of the Grooters & Beal Band ever since. Songs from their 5-plus albums have been loved for many years and in many settings – but at the heart of it all, there remains a steadfast, shared wonder in the gift God gave the world at Christmas.
