Artist description The BandThe Oak Tree Union (TOTU) is a contemporary Christian music duo: Lori Gay and John Concepcion. Our music ranges from rock, blues, jazz, and Latin influences to blends of ethereal and orchestral compositions. We do not set stylistic or genre limits while writing. On the contrary, we prefer to draw from the palette of styles and genres, whatever serves the message and intent of the song best. The general intent of music is to bring you in touch with God. We hope you find hope and encouragement in what you hear. Support us by purchasing a CD from time to time, sending an email, and sharing this site with others, and we will bring back to you the best our talents and abilities can provide, with the help of God. Lori Gay handles vocals and percussion, and from time to time helps with graphics design and direction. Lori grew up in Elizabeth attending the Greystone Presbyterian Church. Lori currently attends the Alliance International Fellowship, (a Christian and Missionary Alliance Church).John Concepcion is responsible for most of what you hear. He plays the keyboards, guitars, and some woodwinds. John also attends the Alliance International Fellowship where he leads worship. He has been part of the Alliance for 12 years. The CD’s title, The Raven and The Dove suggests the contradictions and conflicts experienced by those who yearn to be spiritual and God-like in a material world. The duality hinted at in the Gospel of John serves as the background for all the songs included in this project. These songs outline the seemingly never-ending struggle of light against darkness, good against evil. The songs present a message of hope and true freedom to young and old alike, while also being enjoyable to listen to.While the styles differ, the themes tie together the hope and faith of all believers. Jesus is coming again. Maranatha – even so, come quickly, Lord Jesus.If these songs minister to you in any way please encourage us by letting us know.
