Artist description Texas-based rock band flood23 brings thought provoking lyrics and catchy melodies to the valley. With comparisons to creed and third-day, this guitar driven band takes their message of hope and grace to all who are willing to lend an ear.

Artist History In 2001, brothers Santos and Bernie Acosta decided it was time to test their musical and writing skills. With Santos gripping the mic and Bernie strumming his acoustic guitar, the guys didn't have to look far to complete the band. Lucio Sanchez and Joey Sandoval who helped them lead praise and worship at church, were soon recruited to play bass and drums. Chuy was later discovered by -as the band likes to say, "accident". Invited to one of their practices one night, Chuy hasn't missed one since and was chosen to riff it out on electric guitar. The name flood23 first started off as a screen name that Santos used when logging on to the web. It later found a home with the band when God put a passion in their hearts to spread the word through their music. The book of nahum 1:8 says, BUT WITH AN OVERRUNNING FLOOD,HE (GOD) WILL MAKE AN UTTER END OF THE PLACE THEROF, AND DARKNESS SHALL PURSUE HIS ENEMIES. The 23 represents Santos' age when the band was born. WITH GOD OPENING DOORS, THEY PLAN JUST THAT, TO FLOOD THE WORLD WITH HIS MESSAGE.
