 For Linda Marie

I want to publicly dedicate the Nickelback Video below to my daughter Linda Marie. I love you with all my heart and wish I could find the right way to let it show, to let you know how much you mean to me and always will.
Always remember at least one person loves you unconditionally, no strings attached. I hope some day you know how deep my love goes and that time and space could never take that away.
I Love You, my precious child, and am very proud of who you are and all you've overcome!
                        
Love Always, 
Dad

Respectfully,
David Van Kleeck

The Title Track to CrossTown Band's Debut release on Alethea Records. A no-nonsense straight forward look at the Spiritual Truth of Jesus and the impact He made on the world. Versailles Records in Nashville placed this song and the song 'To Die For Me (Live!)' on the Compilation CD 'Glory Rock Vol. 1 & 2' released nationally 11/25/2008 and available at Amazon	THE LIGHT is the first "Contemporary Christian Rock" genre song David Van Kleeck wrote, back in 1989. This song is unique due to its lyric structure being sung from the point of view of God to the world. At this time, no other song of this genre has been found to be written in this "first person" style with God being the one making the statements. Because of this, THE LIGHT has drawn as much criticism as the song POINT OF VIEW, in which many listeners have found certain lyrics and phrasings to be too controversial for wide spread acceptance. When asked about these critical statements, David replied simply, "I write what I feel and do not care to filter the songs so as to please a wider audience. I can't imagine doing anything other than passing on what has been given to me."

CrossTown Band Biography Top of Page

CrossTown Band is a fusion of the classic Blues Rock sound with spiritual lyrics in a "Power Trio" format. With a sound both unique and familiar, they have been compared to such Artists as Robin Trower, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Nickelback, Creed, Doughtry and Bad Company. Their music grabs you and the lyrics compel you to listen, again...
and again...

Their live performances include original songs and covers of the Classic Rock and Power Blues Rock Artists that have influenced them over the years. From these performances and countless "Recording Sessions", more than two dozen original songs began to take shape and the goal of recording and releasing a full length CD was born and, by the grace of God, attained!

CrossTown Band self-released "POINT OF VIEW" locally and via the Internet in 2002 and again July of 2003, selling out both CD runs in just under a year each. After such a moderately successful stint of Internet and Performance sales, they approached and officially signed with Alethea Records in 2004, locking themselves in the studio to finish writing and recording the NEW songs for their National Debut Album “POINT OF VIEW”, which is dedicated to Jason Edward Lasher, the son of Callie Van Kleeck and Kenneth Lasher.

2007 saw very exciting changes for CrossTown Band Band AND their fans! The addition of GAMMA, and Robin Trower Front Man/Lead Vocalist Davey Pattison is featured throughout the Album on Lead Vocals!

Long time friend and all around incredible person Derek Sutton, Robin Trower's Manager since 1978, has lent us his talents as Executive Producer for the Album, as has Davey Pattison. It was Derek who introduced CrossTown Band' s music to Davey, inquiring as to Davey's interest in lending his Gold and Platinum Album selling voice to CrossTown Band for the recording of multiple Album projects. Wonder of wonders in this incredible Universe, Davey was available AND interested!

What has been happening since is nothing short of miraculous! We're sure you will agree once you hear 'POINT OF VIEW', the BRAND NEW full-length debut CD from Davey Pattison & CrossTown Band, featuring Pete Thompson of Robin Trower on Drums!

The National Release of “POINT OF VIEW” happened during the Summer of 2009, and may include a tour throughout the Southwest starting in California and Arizona sometime in 2010.
