For a sense of his improvisational chops, try <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00123LJ1I/earthmystic" rel="nofollow">Crimson and Blue</a> or perhaps one of the Glass Harp live albums.

Not exactly Christian music but they are all christians that write very excellent music. Its my belief that your either in one kingdom or the other so when you are in the right one and write good music, the spirit behind it is the good one, so to speak. So they might not sing about Jesus but i would check em out if i were you. GREAT guitar playing. I was also recommended Phil Keaggy. Haven't checked him out yet tho.

He's the former lead singer for a progressive rock band called Spock's Beard. He does full on Christian progressive rock in the vein of Kansas, Yes, Gentle Giant, etc. He has quite a few releases out there and is doing a 2 hour show at this years Cornerstone festival.

Probably the most authentic hippie-Christian band out there. Yes, Chad, I’m familiar with “Seeds” and love their music. Probably the most authentic hippie-Christian band out there.

I did find a band called "Seeds" that I liked. You can find them here...http://www.grrrrecords.com/seeds.cfm. Also, if anyone has any new suggestions I would love to hear them! Thanks!

I've recently been trying to find some other musicians to collaborate with but it's been hard to find the right people here in Portland, OR. I have a sample of the direction I would like to go at http://www.myspace.com/johnheueisen A Dead like Christian jam band has been my dream for a long time.

And they do rock, some very serious musicianship. I'm also discovering some of the "old stuff" and when you've not dusted it off in a long time the old stuff can be new again, have been enjoying some of the "lighter" folkie type things, Don Francisco and Keith Green and some old Petra and DeGarmo and Key, not exactly "jam bands" but the D&G live album has some dandy guitar work...and I was at the concert in OKC where it was recorded, so fun memories with that one, too.
