Satellite Soul
The people we identify with are those messed up in sin. In a way, that's a great place to be because if you can be honest about your own sin, you can begin to be honest with those around you and have an impact on them." --- Tim Suttle For the record, let it be said that, despite lingering myths about Kansas, the members of Satellite Soul are not overall-wearin', tractor-drivin', wheat-farmin hayseeds.
Lead singer/songwriter Tim Suttle was, until fairly recently, a graduate student in microbiology at Kansas State University, while lead guitarist/songwriter Rustin Smith was a promising classical guitar master-turned-seminarian with an eye on a church pulpit. It was at a church concert that Rustin saw Tim perform the first time. There and then he realized, "I think I could work with this guy." The two began collaborating on songs, performing as a duo throughout the state.
With the addition of bassist Tyler Simpson and drummer Ryan Green, Satellite Soul began touring in earnest, playing clubs, churches and youth gatherings all around them. It wasn't long before they began drawing the attention of record companies, and eventually, Ardent/Forefront won the band's trust.. Uppermost in the band member's minds is not selling millions of records, but living lives pleasing to God.
"We just want to take care of our personal walk with Christ," adds Tim. "Take care of family and church, and trusting those things will spill over into the music. That way we can have an impact on the world around us." |
