A.W.E.

A.W.E. (Acoustic Worship Experience) definitely walks the  line between the realm of progressive bluegrass and the larger world of pop music. The name itself has been somewhat misleading, however, since the group's inclusion of electric bass and 5-string electric violin. Though all members are rooted in traditional bluegrass and country styles, the focus of A.W.E. is much wider. While songs are included from contemporary bluegrass writers such as Ronnie Bowman and Chris Stuart, material is also featured from contemporary Christian artists such as Rebecca St James, MercyMe  and Jeremy Camp, with an eclectic overall sound best described as somewhere between Nickel Creek and Jars Of Clay.

Dan O'Callaghan is the founder of A.W.E. Dan is an accomplished guitarist, mandolinist and songwriter. He was the 2004 3rd place American Heritage mandolin champion. His lead guitar work can be heard on MOUNT ZION's latest release "My Old Friend".

Nikki Weeks is easily the most versatile member of the group, performing and/or teaching guitar, mandolin, fiddle, bass, piano, keyboards, drums, clarinet and others. Her strong vocal abilities make her an asset to A.W.E.

Tyler Weeks began performing at age 3 with his family group, THE THREE WEEKS. More than just a novelty, he has become an accomplished bassist, guitarist, drummer, pianist and vocalist. His rendition of Michael Comb's "It Was Me" on MOUNT ZION's first release "Still He Came"  remained on the European Christian Country Charts for over 5 months.
