DiAngelis



Frank van Engelen (DiAngelis) has a rich career in music.


Starting at a young age on drums, he switched to bass guitar at 15. Eventually evolving into a multi-instrumentalist who knows his way on keyboards and guitar as well. Despite his talent and love for music, he initially didn't pursue a professional music career. However, when approached by the producer of the Dutch act Gare de Nord, founded by Ferdi Lancee (composer, guitarist) and Barend Fransen (co-founder), he decided to take on the role of bass guitarist. Gare du Nord expanded beyond a studio act with live performances, becoming highly successful with a unique blend of jazz, pop, and lounge. Van Engelen spent eight years with the band, contributing to three studio albums.

Frank is inspired by acts like Toto, Level 42, Boz Scaggs, and artists like Jeff Porcaro and Mark King. The duo Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, better known as Steely Dan, serve as the perfect example for Van Engelen's approach.

Jonathan & Jon Gideon




Imagine the crystal-clear sounds of acoustic instruments played skillfully in the outdoors and voices echoing across the fields or hollows from makeshift arbors. Music and teachings that rang out messages of hope, redemption and a promise of an eternal reward. This was the foundation for what is known today as American Roots Music. The music and teachings from these brush arbor meetings were handed down from generation to generation across the southland and have spawned many of the churches we see today. Many great musicians have learned from this style of music and Jonathan Causey is no exception. For 35 years, he has ministered across the country sharing his love for the LORD through his music and has remained prepared to be a willing servant for CHRIST. 

After the death of his wife, Tammy Sullivan, in 2017, Jonathan was in a new season of his life that required prayer and time apart from the music ministry. During that time, the LORD spoke to him and told him emphatically, “I have given you everything you need.” As he turned, there stood young Jon Gideon. Jon Gideon has been willing and eager to cultivate his GOD given talents and follow in the footsteps of both the Causey and Sullivan families. Under the direction of his father, Jonathan Causey, Jon Gideon has studied guitar and vocals, learning the music of the talented generations that came before him. The Causey name is synonymous with gospel music throughout southern Louisiana. Since the early 1900’s, the Causey family members were singing in churches, at brush arbor meetings or any makeshift place where folks could come together to worship the LORD. 

At seventeen years old, Jonathan began traveling, sharing the music and the ministry, always remaining true to his gospel roots. And now, he shares that experience with his partner and son, Jon Gideon, carrying on the mission and the ministry of the family with fervor and conviction. Jon Gideon has not only excelled as a talented musician but is also a walking miracle and a perfect example of GOD’s healing grace. In 2004, Jon Gideon was born with spina bifida and has exceeded all medical expectations. In 2019, Jon Gideon, at the age of fifteen, was presented with an award from the state of Alabama for excelling in his health, education and music. Congratulations to Jonathan and Jon Gideon on their new project and the debut of their first CD together. 

“The Greatest Story” Featuring a compilation of songs filled with a message of redemption and eternal life in CHRIST. Original songs, written mostly by Jon Gideon’s grandfather, Jerry Sullivan, and country music artist, Marty Stuart, seem like old timeless hymns yet they are brand new. We pray that they will be a blessing to you. Invite Jonathan and Jon Gideon to your church, your festival or revival. They will tell the story that will bless you and lift your spirits in the old time, brush arbor way with an amazing style of harmony that only family can produce.
