Since the release of its debut album in 2004, Building 429 has garnered widespread popular and critical acclaim, receiving numerous accolades all while delivering lyrically-driven, anthemic hit songs with a consistent message of hope along with high-energy concerts in sold-out venues internationally. The band received a 2013 GRAMMY® nomination for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album for We Won’t Be Shaken, which debuted at No.1 on Billboard’s Christian Albums chart and launched the title track to No. 1 at radio. Building 429 also received a 2014 and multiple 2012 “Song of the Year” Billboard Music Awards for “We Won’t Be Shaken” and “Where I Belong” respectively, two BMI “Song of the Year” Awards (“Where I Belong” in 2013 and “Glory Defined” in 2005), a 2014 “Group of the Year” KLOVE Fan Award nomination and a “Best New Artist” GMA Dove Award in 2005. RIAA-certified gold single, “Where I Belong,” further became one of the longest running Christian No. 1’s in Billboard’s history at 15-weeks and has well over 246-million accumulative audience impressions.

I absolutely love seeing a group of musicians who can support themselves on their own instruments rather than requiring a house band behind them, and Building 429 have this down perfectly. As multi-instrumentalists, you never know who’s going to be on bass or lead, and watching them alternate throughout the show was awesome and a real showcase of genuine talent.
They opened with the motivational track Press On which seemed to get the audience in a great vibe for the rest of the show. The front man let his guitar lose and raised his hands, encouraging the audience to do the same with him. The line up of the band had slightly altered since I had last seen them perform, but I was pleased to hear that they were still as tight and fresh as they previously were. The band were great at interacting with the audience, and gave some brief background stories as to the origins of their lyrics, which were funny and touching at the same time.
They played through We Won’t Be Shaken from start to finish, and it was a wonderful musical journey for the audience to share with them. The band knew their audience well, and catered to us wonderfully.
