Starfield return to FUEL for the 3rd time this year – they are a real favourite worship band of ours and headlined the first FUEL in 2000.
Hailing from Canada and adopting its name from Bruce Cockburn’s 1976 song, “Lord of the Starfields”, Starfield is composed of brothers Tim and Jon Neufeld on vocals and guitars, drummer John Andrews and bassist Shaun Huberts. Possessing a cognizance beyond their years, knowing both what they want to do as musicians and what they want to do as children of God, these young men are fusing their talents and mission to challenge their generation to strengthen their faith and make it their own.
Starfield came together in a very natural, unforced, kind of way, growing out of each of the Neufelds’ interest in music and desire to make music that would connect with the church. While Tim was leading worship at churches and college campuses across the country, brother Jon was learning the ropes of worship and the signatures of modern rock through his home church. Joining creative forces, the two of them and their friends cobbled together any gig they could find, eager for the opportunity to play. When the time felt right, and when they had drawn together enough songs and money, the promising band made its first recordings.
Starfield released its latest studio project, The Saving One, in Feb. 23, 2010. The album features Starfield’s signature energetic worship songs, many reflecting a tone of personal confession. As with previous outings, including 2008’s critically acclaimed I Will Go, Starfield continues to write songs for the church community. The Saving One is no exception, showcasing the signature harmonies of brothers Tim and Jon Neufeld on 10 soaring worship anthems.
