COMING OF AGE @ Verge One: 10/27/06

Band Bio:
Coming of Age has been playing together since the end of 2005. Drew Brown, James Copeland, and Chris Adams make up the 3 piece band with a suprisingly full sound. Labeled pop/punk by their listeners, they pull from influences such as Relient K, RunKidRun, and Hawk Nelson just to name a few. With driving beats and amazing guitar licks, Coming of Age is guaranteed to turn a concert into a spectator sport. Striving to be more than just another garage band in the midst of thousands of indie bands, Coming of Age has a heart for ministry and a love for Christ that will be displayed to all before, during, and after the show.
