The Artist List Den
(A subsection of The Lion's Den)
Arizona is loaded with home-grown Christian bands and musicians.
In fact, included in the list below are around 200+ local Christian artists (or Christian artists that originated here), some of them have even gone national or had national exposure!
TLD personally has not heard all of these bands, so TLD has no idea what some of them play or even if they are still playing at all.
If any of you know that a band listed is no longer together, or if you have or know of a band that you would like to have listed here, please e-mail TLD @ azmusic@crosswalkmail.com
Use this QuickNav to get around the Dens!
