While our music somewhat reflects our backgrounds of Classic and Southern Rock, the compositions we write combine the love of Jesus Christ using messages that appeal to people of all ages. We bring this strong faith forward by writing songs with a profound message, lifting the souls and spirits of people who hunger for the good news of Jesus Christ. Our music is a reflection of our walk with Jesus Christ and witness to the glory of God. This witness speaks of the joy of a belief in the saving grace of Jesus, listening to God through prayer, a willingness to stand in line to the call that God has for us in our lives.

   The Crosstones formed when Rev. Mark DeAngelis and Mark Rogers met one another at church in Front Royal, VA. Both had played professionally, Rogers the guitar and DeAngelis the drums. Rogers called one day and asked DeAngelis if he would be interested in a used drum kit. This led to a jam session and the seed for the formation of The Crosstones was planted! The band has just released their new single "A Simple Time" in November of 2008, which climbed to #7 on the Soundclick chart within a week.
