Benefit Concert for Hurricane Katrina Victims


Praz has decided to put together a benefit concert for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. We feel it is very important to bring people together to help others in need. So mark your calendars. Sunday, October 2nd, Praz will be performing at Civic Park in O'Fallon, MO. The concert will be from 2pm-4:30pm. Please come and help us raise money for the victims of one of the biggest natural disasters that have hit our soil. A charity representative will be present to accept donations. We look forward to seeing you there!!!

9/20/2005


Summer has been good for the members of Praz. Each of us have been busy with various family vacations and activities. It is hard to believe that Fall is quickly approaching. We may have taken a small break gigging, but things have not stopped. We have been in the studio since the beginning of June, recording another original cd. If all goes well, it should be released sometime this fall. Once it is released, we have decided to stay in the studio to record a Praise & Worship album. If all goes well, that CD should hopefully be available at the beginning of the year. So things are moving along. We have been booking gigs for the end of this year, as well as next year. So keep checking out the site. We will let you know where we will be and when!!!

CD #2 ???

3/1/2005
There has been alot of our fans wishing and hoping that PraZ would go back into the studio and do another fantastic cd. If you are one those fans, then we have good news!!! The plan is this: are you excited yet??? Is the suspense getting to you??? Ok, we will tell you now. PraZ is planning on going back into the studio in May, but with a twist. Not only is PraZ going back into the studio to record a new cd, we are going in to do a DOUBLE CD!!! That is right. The first cd will be an original cd, and the second, a Praise and Worship CD, filled with your favorite P&W songs you love to hear. So stay tuned. We will give you progress reports as time goes on.
