LAKEPORT — A small Lake County Christian music band, known as Remnant, has been invited to perform during the weekend of Sept. 11 and 12 at the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C.
Local artists Jonathan Wynacht and Anna Mix, both sharing lead on vocals and acoustic-electric guitar, plus Joshua Hammond on bass and John Mix on drums, have been working together since as early as 1992, serving and leading worship in an area church as well as Lakeport”s Library Park. While developing a catalog of nearly 300 original songs, they produced and recorded their first project in 1994 and later produced two more CDs under Wynacht”s own name. That first project was entitled “Remnant” and the name later stuck.
The members of Remnant say that the band is incredibly honored for this opportunity to represent its hometown community at the nation”s capitol. To celebrate, they are hosting a free benefit event, 6 p.m. Saturday at the Soper-Reese Community Theatre, 275 S. Main St. in in Lakeport. Doors open at 5:30 p.m.
This free event will feature live and silent auctions aimed at allowing individuals the opportunity to share in the excitement of kicking off Remnant”s journey. Also, Remnant will be performing a live, sneak-preview set of select songs slated for D.C., including new material only recently put down. As the September date arrives, the band members will begin posting their travels on Facebook.
