Bryan Duncan Joins Rick Muchow and Saddleback’s 150 Voice Choir
as Special Treat for Purpose Driven Conference Pastors

Orange County, CA – May 24, 2001 -- Encouraging Music’s RICK MUCHOW welcomed Diadem recording artist BRYAN DUNCAN as a surprise guest at last week’s PURPOSE DRIVEN CHURCH CONFERENCE Worship Concert which took place Thursday, May 16th.

Bryan Duncan joined Rick Muchow, Saddleback Church’s 150 voice choir and the Saddleback Orchestra for high energy renditions of the songs “Maybe I’m Amazed” and “I’d Like To Thank You Jesus (For Just One Thing)” from his latest recording Joyride. 

According to Muchow, “Bryan and I had a chance to get reacquainted at the recent MUSICalifornia event, and when we talked about the PDC Conference, we were both excited about blessing the pastors with this special surprise!” 

The Worship Concert is the end of the week highlight at each Purpose Driven Church Conference event.  Rick Muchow, also Pastor of Magnification at Saddleback Church, coordinates each concert. This year’s event featured Rick leading worship on “All About Love” and “Fall On Me” from his latest project ALL ABOUT LOVE.  The concert featured other special guests including Brazilian Worship Leader Tiago Costa, world-renowned Classical Guitarist Rodrigo Rodriguez, Jazz Trumpeter & Producer Tony Guerrero, and Classical Vocalist Lynette Tapia, as well as solos from many members of the Saddleback Magnification Ministry Team, who will be featured on the upcoming SOUNDS OF SADDLEBACK/S.O.S. VOLUME 1 CD releasing later this month from Encouraging Music.
