I Am Esmond is a band comprised of excellent musicians with a heart for God and seeing Him glorified. The unicorn of Christian Bands, I Am Esmond is a collection of individuals who excel at their craft, but have the grace and servant's heart required to bring those talents together in a sound that demonstrates the idea of synergy. The sum of the whole is truly greater than the sum of the parts.
Soaring vocals, groovy beats, hot piano and guitar and a monster on the saxophone, this collection of excellence makes every concert an event.
This band delivers. As they market themselves: "Every concert is and event" is completely true. Covenant Church was rockin' Well done, we'll be having you back! :)

Price Range: $1600 and up

I Am Esmond was founded by Benjamin Nichols in 2013. He selected outstanding musicians who were good friends and brothers (and sister) in Christ. That wouldn't be enough for Nichols though, the musicians in I Am Esmond had to share a sense of silliness and fun, but above all, they had to share a sense of passion for Jesus Christ and seeing Him glorified above all others.
I Am Esmond is a Contemporary Christian Band who performs original music. You can expect the band to show up to the venue on time, deliver a consistently excellent performance and give all the glory to God. A great deal of preparation goes into each event and the music ranges from light and fun to passionate and powerful. Liberal doses of comedy provide just enough levity to keep the mood positive, without being crass or inappropriate.
Benjamin J Nichols (Benny) has been playing the piano and singing for over 20 years. His musical expertise ranges from Chopin to Joplin (Janice or Scott, take your pick). The leader of the band, Nichols brings an endless supply of enthusiasm and love; for his audience, his band mates, his music and above all for God. The majority of the music performed by I Am Esmond is penned or arranged by Nichols.. loosely. He learned a long time ago to trust his musicians, so tends to write the music, offer the bare bones and then develop the sound with constant input from his friends. Nichols insists that I Am Esmond be excellent and fun. So far he has no complaints.
Jeremy Blaska is a guitartist, singer, and songwriter. He has been into guitar and music since about age 15. He has performed for small coffee houses and huge stadiums with many fellow artists including Phil Keaggy, David Crowder, Jeremy Camp, and Casting Crowns. He was the 1st place winner of the 2010 WBCL's got talent contest held in Fort Wayne, IN. Blaska also teaches guitar and creative improv to many students at his home studio in southeast Michigan.
Chris Nevins just finished a degree in Worship Ministry from Spring Arbor University and needs to beat some of the pressure out on his drums. Besides being the band's metronome, Nevins sings and writes music as well.
Kimberly Ringer is a stunning vocalist who's training allows her to comfortably perform classical to pop to blues to reggae without batting an eye.
Eric Korte is to the saxophone what Edison was to the light bulb. Sure someone else may have come up with the idea first, but he made it his own and is using it to change the world.
Jim Yearsin, thumpin' the thick ones. Yearsin is the band's bass player who's passion for music is eclipsed by his passion for God.
