"Faith & Family games have been successful at Minor League teams around the country," said Thunder General Manager Brad Taylor. "We're really excited to host the pre-game concert and create a theme night that we've never done before. I think the people of this region will really love being able to celebrate their faith right here at Waterfront Park."

The New Method formed in Westerville, Ohio in 2001. The band keeps a strong touring schedule, and has had the opportunity to play in venues such as the Meadowlands, Soldier Field, Mile High Stadium, and Walt Disney World. The group has hit several milestones in their seven year career including being a national finalist in the NACAS songwriting competition, being featured in Christianity Today's Sports Spectrum Magazine for their development of the Faith & Family Night Tour, being selected as a semi-finalist in the DiscMakers Northeast Band Competition and being selected as the Ohio Christian Music Association's "Up and Coming Band of the Year" awarded by the Governor of Ohio. Recently they were listed at #6 on the myCCM Top 100 for 2007 in CCM Magazine (Christ. Community. Music. Magazine).
