The Kansas Bible Company came into being at Goshen College in Northern Indiana during the dog days of summer 2008. Through the years more college friends joined the band until it became the 11 man wrecking ball it is today. Featuring a five-man horn line, three guitars, two percussionists and one bass, the KBC are stretching the boundaries of space and time. They are a culture. To walk with them is to know them. They are on a journey - to the stars through rugged ways.

A little bit about Mennofolk
Welcome to Mennofolk, a site to explore folk art and music created by people from Mennonite backgrounds. Mennofolk is not just for Mennonites, but it is from Mennonites, a gallery of delightful sounds and sights to be offered to the world, which come out of our collective experience of faith, music, and Anabaptist values. (for more information on Anabaptists go to third way cafe)
Mennofolk does not try to limit the themes of the songwriters it embraces, and it includes all acoustic genres and instruments, as well as visual folk arts and crafts.
There have been Mennofolk locations across North America, each with a slightly different focus and form.
Currently, Mennofolk is being held in Bluffton, Ohio on July 6-8, 2012.
