We believe that Christ has created us for more. We love doing what we get to do.
Trace Co. is a dynamic touring worship band driven by a profound belief in their calling. They specialize in crafting theologically rich lyrics that resonate with their drive to create creatively inspiring music. Drawing comparisons to "The Christian version of The Band Camino," they take pride in being more than just performers, actively pointing others towards Christ both onstage and off.
This talented 6-member ensemble includes:
• Trace Pridgen (Lead vocals, Acoustic and Electric Guitar)
• Jacob Patillo (Electric Guitar, MD, audio engineer)
• Ryan Daly (Bass, MD, Ableton, BGVs)
• Alex Pethel (Drums)
• Jackson Brasfield (Keys)
• Casey Canup (Audio Engineer)
Despite their extensive touring commitments, they maintain a strong connection to their local churches, serving as worship leaders every Sunday. Their journey in faith has led them to discover five foundational pillars that define their identity and purpose. These pillars reflect the essence of their team, making them a compelling choice for any event, camp, conference, or tour.
Trace Co.’s 5 Pillars:
1. We are worshippers above everything else. Above musicians, artists, and worship leaders, we’re worshippers first.
2. We are HIGH energy on stage: we jump around and party live because we have LOTS to celebrate because of what Christ has done in our lives. We are VERY vocal that this energy isn’t just for fanfare or show- it’s because of Christ. We love being able to celebrate HIM with others from our platform.
3. We believe in worship in spirit and in truth. We know how to transition from high energy into authentic, real worship in awe of the creator. We fully believe in the power of true worship. We call ourselves worshippers over worship leaders, musicians, artists, etc.
4. We write and release music with those that we lead in mind. We write with YOU in mind. We write from experiences and from what the Lord has taught us in hope that He would speak through us. It’s not just a catchy melody, it’s authentic, it’s vulnerable, and its truth. Our focus in writing is “Solid theology and solid musicianship”.
5. We preach. We have been challenged to be more than a singer or musicians on stage. We share their hearts and speak life from stage to help point to Christ and reinforce what we sing and who we worship.
