Artist History Nathan Bolling and Megan Shitama started Not Yet as an acoustic praise duo for the Saturday night Power and Light service at their local church. They played covers of contemporary christian rock songs and a few praise songs. It wasn't long before they had a few of their friends singing on stage with them and soon, two close friends became regulars beside them on stage. Then, they asked Nathan's younger brother, Bradly to play the bass. Still mostly acoustic based, Not Yet became the house band at a new cafe in town. For a few months, they played almost weekly, eventually inviting Nathan's step-mother, Jan to play the drums. But it wasn't long before personal conflict arose and the group scattered apart, leaving Megan and Nathan once again performing acoustic. By now they had written a few originals and were beginning to develop their own sound together. Soon, a friend named Jon caught their eye. He was a member of another praise and that Nathan was plaing with and a blossoming bass player. They asked him to jam with them and soon, he was a permanent member of Not Yet. They began learning new songs and writing more originals. They played at churches and cafes and youth rallies. Along the way, they picked up a percussionist named Jordie, who was also a long time friend. With this lineup, Not Yet collected all the originals they had written, and dove into a local recording studio. A few months later, they emerged with their first album, "Given" and a new understanding of their own sound. This brings us to the present. With a new CD out and a new passion for praising God, Not Yet is ready to save lives and make a difference in an unbelieving world. They're rocking for Jesus with all their hearts!
