Biography
Damascus Dawn was formed in 2004 in Overland Park, KS. It was originally founded as an all girl guitar band, but quickly expanded to include men and instruments other than guitars. Our members are diverse in ethnicity, age, marital status and denomination, and that is one of the things we love about our group, as we feel it accurately portrays God's Kingdom.
The message we hope to spread with our music is that God loves the orphan, the rejected, the outcast. Even if the whole world throws you away, He will be there.
We are:
Michelle Scott Redmon, Acoustic Guitar, Lead Vocals, Songwriter. Originally from Topeka, KS, but currently lives in Overland Park, KS with her husband and manager, Scott, and their rambunctious 4 year old. In addition to ministering with Damascus Dawn, Michelle leads worship in the children's ministry at Sheffield Family Life Center.
