EXPLORE THE “PAGES” and CHECK OUT THOSE “LINKS”
To your right, at the top of the page, you’ll find links to “Pages” that bear an abundance of info about The NEW EARTH BAND members (“About the Band”) and are jam-packed with details on our currently-available hopping-good-music CD’s (“The New Earth Band’s CD’s”).
Over there, you’ll also find the page of our associate in ministry and music, and our solid friend, Dave Reinwald (Dave Reinwald Live!), because The NEW EARTH BAND’s Lee Schappell accompanies Dave on the bass at many of his engagements. We’ve uploaded a few sample audio tracks of Dave Reinwald that were recorded at recent live events, and are waiting for you to click and listen – and enjoy!
And directly below Dave Reinwald Live!, you’ll want to check out Dave Reinwald’s Rocky Mountain Band page, and the fund-raising and benefit work which the band does. Lee is the original bassist since The Rocky Mountain Band’s inception in early 2005. And over the years, NEW EARTH BAND members Mark Miller (Dobro and steel guitar) and Rick Guinan (harmonica) also have performed at various fund-raising events with The Rocky Mountain Band. We have uploaded several of the very best audio tracks from live benefit performances, which eagerly await the click of your mouse. Give ‘em a listen – this is really good stuff!
Plus, in that “Pages” menu there are links to the texts of two very powerful, foundational messages that we’ve delivered from the pulpits of various local congregations (“Knowing God” and “Israel, the Overcomer”). You’ll find a link to watch the video of “Knowing God” , which also includes music (“No One Ever Cared For Me Like Jesus”), located alphabetically in the lower “Links” menu. You’ll also find there the link to watch the video of “Israel, the Overcomer” with two songs before the message (“That’s Just Not the Gospel” and “Mansion Over the Hilltop” - the audio feed of which is much, much too loud – ouch! - so please, with apologies, either advance past the music to the message, or turn down the volume on your end so you won’t risk losing your toupe!) There is one song (“Sweet By and By”) at the end.
Now, if you’re just looking for a snicker, a chuckle, a guffaw, or a rolling belly-laugh … please check out “The Time Machine”, which is still very much under construction, but will be worth the pain!
You know that “Links” section is absolutely loaded with connections to websites that are guaranteed to scratch you right where you itch. So if you have a pulse, there’s something there in that “Links” column for you!
THIS IS THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE - YOU CAN SPEND IT ANY WAY YOU WANT … BUT YOU CAN SPEND IT ONLY ONCE !!

The NEW EARTH BAND’s current 13-track CD project, titled “Gospel Truth” , is available through CD Baby – thanks to DiscMakers (www.discmakers.com), our manufacturing partners. “Gospel Truth” is available locally at both J.O.Y. Book Stores, at Border’s, Zeswitz Music, Penn Avenue Music, the Scrolls Book Store at Glad Tidings Assembly of God, and the Adventist Book Center on the campus of Blue Mountain Academy, Hamburg, PA.

“Gospel Truth” features our long-time associate and favorite fiddler-extraordinaire, Warren “Cadillac Mose” Boyer, on several outstandlngly “earthy” tracks. When you get yours (and please, please do that!) we want you to listen particularly for the second track, “The Jubilee“, aptly dubbed “a heavenly hoe-down”, featuring a full, rich, driving sound with an abundance of instrumental lead-work. “The Jubilee” is one joyous celebration that will get you excited about living eternally in God’s Kingdom-to-come! You’ll also want to check out Mose’s gritty fiddle work on “Rock of Ages” , and the hippity-hop he puts into “Tell Me the Story of Jesus”.
“Gospel Truth” has been enjoying a modicum of airplay, as has “The New Earth Band”, primarily by Classic Country WWSM 1510AM, in the Central Pennsylvania area, giving a ride to “No, Not One” , “Gospel Truth”, “The Door”, and “Jesus Never Sang the Blues”. Why not tune in to Pat Garrett’s country icon WWSM 1510AM and then you can tell us!
THE GOSPEL IS NEITHER A DEBATE, NOR A DISCUSSION. THE GOSPEL IS AN ANNOUNCEMENT !
IT’S NOT EASY BEING GREEN! The NEW EARTH BAND is doing its share of taking stewardship of the earth! The cover packaging of both of our CD’s, “The NEW EARTH BAND” and “GOSPEL TRUTH”, are totally “green”, and seriously-spiffy, forward-thinking, environmentally-friendly. We’ve taken a giant step upward from the conventional dinosaur plastic jewel case packaging that cracks and breaks, and clogs the landfills. Instead, we’ve opted for the new, cutting-edge, bio-degradable, UV-coated, light-weight, recycled craftboard package from our friends at DiscMakers (www.discmakers.com). We firmly believe that walking God’s walk includes reducing our carbon footprint on this planet! Hopefully, many other artists will soon begin to follow the lead of The NEW EARTH BAND !
WHAT YOU WORSHIP DETERMINES WHAT YOU BECOME
