WAYNE GRABER Singer/Songwriter Country & Western Gospel Music Growing up on a farm on the plains of Kansas, Wayne has been singing and writing music for about as long as he can remember. Music was as much a part of family life s doing the daily chores, bringing cows home and bailing hay. When the day’s work was done, it wouldn’t be uncommon to find the family singing and playing their instruments in the parlor or out on the back porch, filling the warm night air with music. Whether in school, church, or just having friends over to visit, there was always time for music in some form. Wayne has performed with the western gospel band "faithful heart" for 30 years. He has written almost all of the music recorded by the band. Other artists in the gospel music arena have used his songs as well. His music is deeply influenced by growing up on the prairie, the country lifestyle, and a deep faith. Wayne and his wife, Rebecca, make their home in Dallas, Oregon. They have one son Matt, his wife Alex, and three grandsons, Brandon, Connor and Gavin. Wayne is an adult Sunday school teacher, leading a class of about sixty people and has served in many capacities including the church board and deacon. He is also the General Manager of a building supply company. When Wayne shares his music, you will hear original songs, some familiar songs, as well as humorous songs. You will be challenged in your faith as well. Whether just a few songs or an hour of music, you will enjoy a relaxed atmosphere of fellowship and encouragement. |
