2017 Artist: Matthew Tuck
Replenish Festival started out as a 3-day weekend festival beginning on a Friday evening and ending on Sunday with worship. In 2016, the format of the festival switched to a 2-day format of Saturday and Sunday. This year, we are happy to go back to that original 3-day format opening our gates on Friday and offering MORE music, MORE speakers and ultimately MORE fun. This 2017 year, we are also excited to bring you Matthew Tuck as our Friday night headliner. This 21-year-old has been doing Christian music for less than a year, but is letting his faith for our Lord SHINE…

2017 Featured Speaker: Lenny Hall
Replenish Festival welcomes back Lenny Hall with Sons of Thunder Ministries. Lenny brought the Word during the 2016 Replenishfest and we are excited to have him join us again. Lenny, along with Timothy Harris, established Sons of Thunder Ministries in 2013.

There’s got to…
2017 Artist: Cry for Salvation
From the hometown of neighboring Franklin County, Cry for Salvation was started in 2011 when it was decided their church needed a youth band to “liven things up” on Wednesdays. Two of the band members, began leading worship and soon, they realized there was a bigger calling to spread the Word of God by taking things outside the church and to community needing the Truth… “Cry for Salvation” was born. Their EP “Bright Light Shine” was released in March of 2016 produced by ‘Skip’ Brown from Final Track Studios in Roanoke, Virginia. They have performed…

2017 Artist: Exonerated
Replenish Festival welcomes Exonerated back to the Replenish Festival stage on Saturday, July 8th, 2017! The band joined us at our inaugural festival in 2015 and we are excited to have them back again. 🙂 In a time when so many acts sound the same, the band Exonerated, from the backwoods of Southwest Virginia, is changing the way that people view Christian Music. Coming on to the scene in 2009, they learned quickly that they needed to find a sound that was all their own but working on capturing a brand new sound would mean trying times, switching band members, and revisiting the band’s direction….

After April is a rock band based out of Greenville, NC. The members – Josh Branch, Tyler Williams, Thorne Wiggs and Jonathan Evans – each bring influences from various styles of music as each band member’s personality is completely different.

After April was started roughly 3 years ago, believe it or not, through a Craigslist posting! They love creating music in their own ways to…
