Dana Isles and Facedown Spread Hope Through Music at Cranbury Festival
Come feel the power of praise as Dana Isles and Facedown and four other worship bands take the stage at Praise in the Park on Sat., June 7.
Cranbury, NJ (FreePR.org) -- NJ Christian rock band and recording artist Dana Isles and Facedown is set to bring their soulful blend of blues, gospel, and worship music to Cranbury's Praise in the Park festival on June 7, 2025. Hailing from Vineland, New Jersey, the band has been sharing their faith through music for nearly two decades.
What began as a group of college friends jamming together has evolved into a seven-piece band known for their powerful live performances and heartfelt original songs.
According to Dana Isles, the band's mission is deeply rooted in their faith. "We are real people and want to spread the gospel through Music. We want to reach any and everyone that will listen."
This dedication has resonated with audiences, earning them high praise. Jennifer B., a reviewer on GigSalad, raved about their impact at a community event:
"Dana’s soulful voice backed by an amazing band made our event. Our community day is still talking about how anointed this band is, we enjoyed both the covers but really enjoyed the original music from this band!”
At the heart of the band's music is a desire to spread the gospel and offer hope to listeners. Lead vocalist Dana Isles, who writes many of the band's songs, draws inspiration from scripture and personal experiences to craft lyrics that resonate with audiences of all backgrounds.
Band member Tammy Vaughn provides insight into the emotional depth of their music, reflecting on their song "You Won’t Choose Me." "The song is written from God’s perspective of how He (Jesus) pursues us and loves us yet we don’t choose Him,” says Tammy.
“When I first heard it I thought it was very sad. In fact, I still think it’s sad because the song does a great job of highlighting how some people simply do not choose Jesus."
The band features a talented lineup of musicians, including Dana Isles on vocals and guitar, Tammy Vaughn on background vocals and drums, Jen Baker on bass, Rich Simmerman on guitar, Cameron Simmerman on percussion, Jonathan Maness on keys, and Mike Parillo on lead guitar.
Over the years, Dana Isles and Facedown have released several albums, including their latest, 2024’s "Fire by Night", which features songs inspired by real-life struggles and biblical themes. Their music is available on platforms like Amazon Music and Apple Music, and they've received airplay on local radio stations.
The band's performance at Praise in the Park on June 7, 2025, is highly anticipated. The festival, held at Village Park in Cranbury, NJ, is a free event that brings together Christian music, guest speakers, and community activities. It's a perfect venue for Dana Isles and Facedown to share their message of faith and hope with a wide audience.
