Nice tunes. It'd be cool

going for you is a pretty
good start. |

Bio(s): |
The band ION actually started in 2004 on the 407 highway just north of Burlington,
Ontario, Canada. Singer/guitarist Paul Vanhuisstede was giving keyboardist/singer
Tim Kieft a ride to a hockey game in Toronto. Paul had been mainly just writing songs for the
past year, and Tim, who was in a praise and worship band and was interested in playing
more ˜non-praise-and-worship" type music, got to talking and decided to start playing
together. Soon after, Mike Nederveen, who had been in the praise and worship band
with Tim, was added to the fold as another guitarist/singer. This version of the yet
unnamed ION lasted for about a month before Paul recruited his old bass player from
their previous band NVS. Bert Nyenhuis, however, had since changed over to playing
drums and so another ex-praise-and-worship band member Dan Hartman was brought in
to play bass. The name ION, was thought up by keyboardist Tim, the meaning of the
name is open for interpretation, including a group that is electrified by gaining another
member, but the main idea of having our "eye on the prize", or our "eye on Christ" seems
the most fitting for us as a band.
The goal of the band was unanimous. With an effort to write accessible Christian music,
with emphasis on strong songwriting and relevant lyrics, ION does not want people listening to them only because they are
Christian,but rather because of the quality of the songs and lyrics.
As of January 2007, the debut cd POSITIVE has sold over 700 copies and all this with out any shows!
We hope that the Lord will use ION as a tool for His word, and that you will be inspired
through our music.
