Sweet Chariot band members all bring their valuable life experiences to the group, making their heartfelt, worshipful songs appealing to a diverse audience. The band's ability to engage and interact with the crowd on an emotional and spiritual level will cement their position as a powerful new voice in the Christian Rock world.

Lead singer Jacki Taylor grew up under the watchful eye of her Grandfather, David E. Schoch, the founder of Bethany Chapel in Long Beach. Jacki originally brought the band members together to write and produce a solo project. Once the original project was complete, the participants were no longer just five musicians; they had become band members.

Jacki's faith has been strong since her childhood, but her daughter's battle with Leukemia strengthened her beliefs. "Life experiences have given the band the motivation for their music, and sharing those experiences is part of the deal," explained Jacki's husband, Curtis Taylor, also a member of a band. Curtis and Jacki's daughter, McKenzi, is now a healthy 7-year-old girl -- a miracle they attribute to the healing power of the Lord. The story of the Taylor family's struggle is told in the raw and reverent track, "Never Alone."

Jacki and Curtis are not the only band members with a touching story. Drummer Eric Wilkins is legally blind, an ailment that forces him to rely on his faith each and every day. Jim Rupe, Ryan Tilo, and Blake Harper each contributes his time, passion, and experiences to the band, along with their talents for playing guitar.

Two members of Sweet Chariot were previously bandmates in Every Day Life (EDL); Curtis Taylor and Eric Wilkins have reunited in Sweet Chariot, but with a whole new musical style that reveals the musicians' focus on worship. As a Christian Rap/Metal band, EDL was heavily involved in the Christian music community. EDL was signed to and released 3 albums with Alarma Records.
