God has been a part of my life since I was a youngin' but it was at a Fishnet Festival back in the early 80's that I personally asked Jesus Christ to take over my life. My supportive husband, Mike and I have three wonderful, adorable children;
Kassidy, Brayden and Chase. I have enjoyed singing as long as I can remember. Over the years I have had many opportunities to use the vocal talent God has given me by participating in musicals, local church bands and special events, cantatas, weddings, coffeehouses, and festivals. I have sung for United Brethren in Christ's Brooklyn Park church band and former band Redeem The Day, and currently take part in the Uniontown Bible Church Praise Team in Westminster. God is leading me down a slightly different path with Awestruck and I'm eagerly anticipating the work He will do through us. My hope is that through the talents that God has given to each one of us, a life will be changed and God's love, faithfulness, and greatness will be realized and embraced.

Dan Lohrfink - Bass/Guitar/Vocals

I've been involved in music for most of my life. And God's been involved in my life since before I was born. So, it's only natural to fuse the two together and be involved in music for God. For over 20 years, I've been playing guitar and bass at my Church, St. Mark's in Catonsville. Married to a wonderful and forgiving wife, Kimberly; and have three loveable children: Nick, Sarah, and Philip. Played in various bands throughout the years (GTA, Blue Kharma, Flashback, Adam Armstrong Band, Joe Matthews and Parable, Christopher Russell Group, Redeem the Day). Looking forward to what God has in store for the ministry of Awestruck. Enjoying the challenges and joys of performing and writing with some talented, fun, God-centered people. Praise be to God through Jesus Christ His only Son, in the power of the Holy Spirit, for allowing me to be used in this band for His Glory!

Dan Lavelle - Lead Guitar/Vocals

  God has given me many gifts and talents through out my entire life. From my lovely
wife of 26 years, 3 beautiful children (now college age), a successful land surveying business,
 health, friends, and many many more ...!!! but music has been my constant friend
 and confidant.
 I have been playing guitar for many years in church services, but this is my first
endeavor as a music minister committing to a mission outside of the church.
After all it is not what God has given us that separates us in his eyes (he knows us
better than anyone !) it is what we give back that serves his purpose !! To take
this chosen ministry and push it outside of my comfort zone that serves to spread
his good news is my mission
 Awestruck is heading in that direction. I could see it the first time I heard them
at a Christian Music Connection concert. I pray that through our combination of
talents, His will be done !

I'm kind of a late bloomer as I was in my early 30's when I ask Jesus to save me. Originally from Central PA, I moved to Maryland believing there was something the Lord would have me do. Along with my wife Trish and son Adam, I now reside in Frederick, MD. I thank them for their support of my devotion to music. Sometimes Trish let's me buy more drums!

 I thank God for letting me be part of a band who revere him as Lord and Savior. And for those will give their talents to lift Him up.

 I'm into all kinds of music; Rock, Pop, Country, Contemporary Christian, Jazz, Bluegrass, Southern Gospel. I've always had a soft spot for ballads and rock with an edge.

 Influences: Awestruck and that other band, what was their name? Oh yea, Awestruck.
