Capital Kings Kick Off Concert Events Featuring TobyMac, Matthew West
Capital Kings, a Christian electronic-pop music duo made up of Cole Walowac and Jonathan White, released their first full-length album just over a week ago but they're already sharing the stage with some of Christian music's biggest artists for the Winter Jam 2013 Tour Spectacular.
"Winter Jam is packed with just unbelievable talent, unbelievable spirit, literally throughout the entire show. Nobody's gonna want to sit down. It's ridiculous. It's an awesome time," White told The Christian Post on Tuesday.
Walowac and White both grew up in the same northern Virginia town and played in a church worship band together. Desiring to take their talents to the next level, however, the pair of 22-year-olds began making beats on their laptops and started writing music when they were just out of high school.
At some point TobyMac, the Christian music sensation who is also from the same area near Washington D.C., heard their music and took Capital Kings under his wing. The duo eventually signed to the record label he co-founded - Gotee Records - and they are now the first performance of the night at the same Winter Jam shows headlined by their eight-time Grammy nominated mentor.
