Artist History Forgiven performs upbeat and inspirational, original songs written by the members of the Forgiven band. The song, With Me, was written by David Stephen after the death of his 12 year old daughter Genevieve in 1994. One might expect a song written under those circumstances to be one of sorrow and pain, but instead With Me is a song of power, praise, and hope, found only through the peace of Jesus Christ. This event and song became the foundation song of a music ministry (CampFire Christians Ministries - CCM) that has grown to become the Forgiven band.

Group Members Mark Burton, Tom Knapp, David Stephen, Steven Roby, Bob Norvelle, Ted Stratton, Joe McCormack, Jim Whitaker & Scott Coons.

Instruments Vocals, guitar, bass, drums, keyboards - strings, flute, horns,

Press Reviews WOW, GREAT JOB, FORGIVEN! I came home and played your CD for my wife. WOW what a great job you guys did. The music is fantastic. My favorites are "With Me", "Get Outta Here Blues" and "Salvation Song." All the songs are wonderful, well performed, nice instrumentals, good mix!! - Jack Mullins, Board of Directors, Camp Aloma; GOOD ROCK SONGS! I have REALLY enjoyed your CD. I really connect with your band's style and message. I am particularly impressed with your vocals. - David Smith, Davedreamer Studio/Crossed Hearts; YOU GUYS REALLY ROCK! I only got around to listening to the first 2 songs and thought it was nice, but just now I digitized the entire album and you guys really get to it! You are good, you have got to do some more blues and rock, you are fantastic in that regard. I know my wife, DRE (Director of Religious Education) at our church, will be stealing your album to play for the kids! She has already asked about it. With your permission, I want to put up "WITH ME" on Joyful Noise tomorrow as song of the week… - Leo Laughlin, Computer Specialist, WebSite Authoring
