Tim Barnes

Bass / Background Vocals
Q: How did you get involved with the band?
Close to three years ago a friend of mine was doing some construction work at the Kristijanto's place, and they had told him that they were looking for a new Bass player. When I met him at my home church that week he told me about the situation, and I gave Ben a call a few days later. I went for an audition, and then took some time to think and pray. I felt a deep calling from the Lord, and two weeks later I found myself on the road with Bread of Stone on Stellar Kart's on the Expect the Impossible Tour in February of 2008.
Q: When did you start to play the Bass, and what inspired you to play?
My Dad inspired me by his involvement in music since he was at a young age. I had gone through many different instruments and ended up sticking with the Bass guitar. I was 14 at the time and have been playing ever since.
Q: What other tasks do you perform in the band?
I do a lot of video blog of the band's life on and off the road, and occasional photos as well. I think its good for the fans to be able to see what goes on from time to time. I also help with programming our light show, and assisting in running lights for other bands on tours or during festivals.
Q: How many more siblings do you have, and what school did you attend?
I have five other siblings - six all together including me. I have two older brothers and three sisters - two older sisters and one who is actually my twin sister. I am one of a twin set . My siblings and I were all homeschooled by our parents all the way from kindergarten through high school.
