Third Service / Soap Box

Third Service

Made up of current/former church worship leaders & musicians, brothers-in-Christ, brothers-in-law, actual brothers, one guys wife, and co-workers who became best friends… Third Service was dreamt up in the Summer of 2021. One night outside a beach bar while on vacation with their families- brothers-in-law Cody and John were listening to a couple of guys play the same tired FM radio tracks played in endless loops on every Classic Rock station. Cody said to John, "We play music, right? Why can't we do this but with cooler songs?" To which John replied, "Because our wives would K*ll us." They never received permission from their wives but forged ahead by convincing their friend and fellow church worship bassist Eric, to join the cause. After gigging as a trio and featuring guest vocals from Cody’s actual brother Luke, and Eric’s soon to be wife Ariel- the guys saw a need for a better guitarist. The upgrade came in the form of friend and fellow church worship guitarist, Nate. A few gigs later with some more experience under their belts, the band realized they had a keyboard shaped hole in their hearts. This hole was ultimately filled by John’s co-worker turned best friend to everyone, Bryce. After nearly 4 years of gigging and performing, these guys haven’t met a genre or era yet that they're afraid to cover. Most often though, you can find them playing Alternative, Emo, Pop, Punk, and general all-around Rock from the last 40 years. Will they do original songs someday? Maybe, but if not that’s just fine with them too.
