Everyday Sunday was an American Christian rock band from Columbus, Ohio with the founding member Trey Pearson as lead singer. The band released two albums on Flicker Records including Stand Up and Anthems for the Imperfect. Wake Up! Wake Up! was their first album on Inpop released May 22, 2007, on Inpop Records, followed by Best Night of Our Lives. The band released an EP independently in 2013 titled A New Beginning EP.
The band saw a number of changes in their lineup.[1]
The band's lead singer was Trey Pearson. In an interview given to Ohio-based (614) Magazine, in May 2016, he publicly announced that he is gay.[2][3][4][5][6]
The band had the following members at various times. When they signed a major deal with Inpop Records, the band lineup was as follows.
Over time many other musicians were in the line-up like Dan Hunter (bass), Chris Hines (drums), Jason Siemer (guitar), and Andrew Martin (guitar). Other members included Wade James, Tyler Craft, Chris Saiben, Nick Spencer, Micah Kuiper, Jon-Paul Kauffman, Collin Wilbrandt.
On March 13, 2009, the band was involved in an automobile accident in Valparaiso, Indiana. The vehicle and trailer went off the road and flipped three to four times, ejecting Craft and trapping the other three inside the vehicle. They were taken to a local hospital where they were treated and released.[7]
In September 2016, multiple staff members at Joshua Fest, a major Christian music festival, threatened to walk out if Pearson remained on the festival lineup. He had previously announced his pleasure at being "the first openly gay artist to ever play a major Christian music festival". Pearson was removed from the lineup, but still sang with Five Iron Frenzy.[8]
