What Nancy Krebs can offer you...

Nancy has a very active Christian music ministry located in the Baltimore-Washington area. She can offer:

• Leading worship as a cantor
• Music Provider on guitar

Her mission is to serve Christian faith communities of all denominations, sharing the music that God has given her to write, perform and record.  Nancy welcomes the opportunity to speak with you about creating an event for your congregation or parish.

A little about her background....

'I started singing at age 3, and haven't stopped yet! When I was 12, I began playing the violin. That soon led to the guitar and eventually the mandolin. In high school, I began to write songs for Folk Masses and other church services. Ignoring a strong calling to compose full time, I actively pursued a career in theatre, film, radio and TV.

I have performed with professional regional theatres such as Center Stage, Alaska Repertory Theatre and Meadowbrook Theatre. I was a principal cast member of the Emmy award winning TV series for PBS called Once Upon a Town. In 1980 I joined the theatre faculty of the Baltimore School for the Arts and since 1981 I have been a member of the Interact Story Theatre.

In 1994 my original calling to compose meditational songs of a spiritual nature could be ignored no longer. Turning the process over to God, I spent 4 years composing music and began recording in 1998. With the guidance and support of my husband, Pete Baden, I have recorded and produced 7 albums since then; all of which are receiving airplay throughout the world. What a journey. God has prepared me for this role all these years. When I look back it's just like a quilt. This is just what I should be doing.  I'm happiest when doing this kind of service.'
