DAVID VOGEL

David's music career has taken him from the first folk mass ever celebrated in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1967 to working on tours with secular bands like The Little River Band and Grand Funk Railroad. David's shining moment was to be recognized as a Catholic musician and to win its top honor for the 2002 Rock Song Of The Year at the 3rd annual UCMVA Unity Awards in Washington D.C
This year David was nominated for eight Unity Awards including songwriter of the year and Rock album of the year.  As the moment arrived and  David's name was being announced by Catholic musicians Angelina and Mike Beloud from the band RISE, David did not appear from the audience but instead swiftly put on his suit jacket and quickly walked from behind the main sound mixing board. David is not only a very gifted musician , he is also a fabulous sound and light person and his night also included providing and being in charge of  the sound and recording production and all the hard work that it in tales at this years Unity Awards.
                                              
David's favorite moment of receiving his award was being able to thank God for all He has done and also being able to thank his parents for giving him his first guitar and taking him to St. Mary's Church to sing with it and for their unconditional love.
Since we first started playing David's music on Sacred Heart Radio it was evident that his original songwriting craftsmanship and wide range of vocals not to mention his ability to play the guitar as well as


anyone we've ever heard and could tell it was from many years of hard work. As some Catholic musicians take their music career as a part time job. David's music career is his full time love. David's love for the Lord is probably the biggest reason for his success as a musician. When listening to David sing you can tell that he is over come by  the Holy Spirit.
After spending sometime with David you would think he is your long lost family member  his honesty and humility and his genuine love for others is so evident.  After talking to David for sometime he let it slip that he was actually nominated for a medal of heroism for rescuing two people from a burning building some years ago, another great example of how his thoughts are always with others before his own.
 David's other ministries include protecting the un-born child for which he wrote the song "Cry Of The Child". His other ministries include his work with youth and adults in correction facilities through out the U.S. and his work with the homeless, which you can probably find David playing his music out side of a football stadium near you raising money for their benefit.
