Catching Up With Paul Alan

It's been more than ten years—what are your fondest memories of the Nouveaux period?

Paul Alan: I have a lot of great memories for a variety of reasons. Some of them make me laugh about all the crazy things you see and the folks you meet on the road. But probably one of best memories was playing Jesus Northwest Festival in Oregon, in front of about 10,000 people. The people in the crowd didn't really know too much about us at the time, but there was still something awesome about that moment. We sang our songs and the audience responded. During the same show, I felt compelled for whatever reason to quote John 3:16 and say, "We're not here to see Newsboys or Nouveaux, but to glorify you." And the entire crowd just put their hands in the air—it was a moment that transcended us. It was such a humbling feeling knowing we were involved in something that pointed a group of people to something much greater and more worthy of attention than we were.
