Desire hails from New England, and is the worship band for the Lighthouse Church in Plainfield, CT. The group has recently completed work on their debut album, which was released in August 2009. The CD was produced by Dave Gregg, who worked along with producer/engineer Kenny Lewis (who has worked with artists such as Stryper, Daddy Yankee, Freddie Jackson, Steve Pearcy, and many others) at Mixed Emotions Studios in Boston, MA.

Desire was formed by Dave, the band’s main songwriter. The lead guitarist for Johnny Depp’s former band, the glam-rockers Rock City Angels (Geffen Records), Dave’s songwriting was greatly responsible for helping them to secure what is still the largest deal ever given to an unknown, unsigned act - $6.2 million dollars. After coming to Christ in 1988, Dave spent several years as a worship leader before entering into pastoral ministry. He most recently worked with the group Scarlet to Snow, and the songs on their CD “Schizophonic Worship Vol. I” have been used to lead worship in many churches. Their single “I Will Praise Him” was on regular rotation on Christian radio in the New England area.

As some very talented musicians and singers began discovering the exciting atmosphere of the Lighthouse, and becoming members of the worship team, it soon became clear that their music would go beyond the four walls of the church. Two of those members, Steve Aylward and Krystal Yusko, are accomplished lead vocalists and worship leaders who are no strangers to either the studio or the stage. Each of the other members of Desire (below) share a passion for authentic worship which is apparent every time they perform.

Tracks from the CD have been posted here and on myspace.
