About the Artist
ASLAN is a group of musicians that have a long history with Young Life, a non-denominational Christian organization whose ministry focus is directed to High School students. The band members have been involved as volunteer leaders, field staff members and local committee members. We’ve spent lots of time at Young Life camps over the years in a variety of capacities; program, summer staff & work crew bosses, etc. Three of the five of us are still actively involved as volunteer leaders in our local clubs.
Most of the Aslan’s original material is written by band member, Tony Congi. Tony is a gifted singer/songwriter and many of his songs have become “Standards” at Young Life clubs and camps all over the world. In 1998 Aslan released a music CD “Aslan — It’s Amazing”.

Product Description
Contemporary Christian Music. Several of the original tracks are sung & played live at churches and youth group gatherings all over the world.
I first heard most of these songs when ASLAN was amazing kids across the country at Young Life Camps and Clubs. These guys definitely know how to communicate with people of all ages. I am in California and have been pleasantly surprised to find that songs like “Jesus is the Rock” has traveled all the way out here from the East and is considered a must at youth camps and conferences. The wonderful mix of songs on the CD provides something for everyone. The visual images in songs such as “Blessed Are” make the music and it’s message real. In so many of the other songs such as “My Brother My Friend”,”Wayfarin Stranger” and “It’s Amazing” the stories are told of a growing faith and experience. These are real songs with real meaning that must be heard. I highly recommend this CD.
