Should be a great night to share my vision for today's youth who are beginning a new journey in their lives and want to place God at the forefront of their futures as they seek his will. I hope to help them find what their "Anthem" will be for the rest of their lives.

New show added! This summer I will be opening for national recording artist "Revive" at Grace Community Church in Streator, Illinois on Aug. 12, 2010 at 7:00 pm. This is a back to school concert and will be the first concert in Grace Communities new sanctuary.

Denny Rockey My Anthem Reviewed by Andy Argyrakis [4 Stars - Excellent] Sounds like … someone who could fit right in with the Passion movement; similar to Chris Tomlin, Tim Hughes, Matt Redman, and Watermark. At a glance … his role as a worship leader translates to a stirring solo debut anchored in refreshing vertical reflections. He's yet to be known on a national level, but in central Illinois, Denny Rockey is known as a premiere worship leader and for being member of the contemporary Christian group Final Quest. Outside of Sunday services, he's opened up for Jars of Clay, Sarah Kelly, Building 429, and Sonicflood. The artist he's most similar to, though, is clearly Chris Tomlin. The two share a strong vocal resemblance and a desire to craft vertically-leaning but artistically satisfying selections. Across ten tunes, the singer/guitarist turns in a series of self-penned selections and collaborations with producer/Final Quest-mate Chuck Giacinto that flex between building ballads and invigorating rockers. One of the album's top tracks is the bristling Desperation Band cover "Until My Breath Runs Dry," a textbook example of Rockey's enchanting vocal delivery, here anchored by guest guitarist Rex Carroll (yes, the Rex Carroll from Whitecross). Rockey may be a small-town guy, but by the end of My Anthem, this hopeful album demonstrates a mastery of ushering listeners into the presence of God.

Denny will be headlining Ottawa Gospelfest on July 11,2009. This will be an exciting night of worship that will have Denny performing with full band. This outdoor event which has been an Ottawa area staple for many years will be held in scenic downtown Washington Park in the center of town.

Hello everyone, myself and 24 others have just returned from Nairobi, Kenya. We spent 10 days there which included 5 days of ministering in worship and teaching for a conference that was being held for many area pastors and congregations, at a church in Nakuru that we have helped to build. We were also able to provide 6000 meals for that week and purchase a new sound system for their church. It was an amazing experience in which I was completely humbled and broken. So much poverty yet so much passion for the things of God, they truely were worshipers. My life is changed and I look forward to seeing the fruit of what God placed in me during this journey. Oh and yes we plan on going back soon. God bless.
