Best of 2012: Drinking Band With a Worship Problem Keeps Christianity 'Real'

As 2012 comes to a close, Lutz Patch is taking a look back at some of the stories we've covered since the site launched in August, as we look forward to a new year in the Lutz community.

In September, we brought you the story of a local band that's out to change the face of Christianity:

They have attitude, and they have grace. They’re Christian musicians “hell-bent” on changing the world, one song—one person—at a time.

The Lutz-based Drinking Band with a Worship Problem came together somewhat serendipitously. Elizabeth Olson Bergeron, 35, was invited to sing at a funeral at Tim’s Memorial Presbyterian Church in early 2011. It was there the lifelong vocalist—with seven Grand Ole Oprey performances under her belt—reconnected with childhood friend Adam Balic.

Balic, who Bergeron recalled as a “troublemaker” in high school, was the church’s contemporary services leader. Bergeron was invited to join the worship team, and the rest is not history, rather just the beginning of something that has people talking—and listening.
