AUSTIN, TX -- “People thought we were nuts,” said Tim Dolbear. ”But when God said ‘move to Austin’, we weren’t going to go around that mountain again.”

Having just completed the recording of their fourth release Dependence Day, this former Southern Californian duo pulled-up stakes, left behind a successful recording studio clientele, and headed for the hill country of Central Texas. “We had just heard a study about how God calls people out to other places to do His work,” said Angela Dolbear, “so we look forward to what God has for us.”

Tim & Angela Dolbear comprise the core of child of the Son. Their latest release, Dependence Day, contains ethereal driving music with a European flavor. The testimonial lyrics are a narrative of the spiritual lessons and experiences of this singer/songwriter couple.

Each song is a vignette of striking true-to-life experiences, such as the title track “Dependence Day,” which chronicles Tim & Angela’s ultimate desire to remain strong in their faith through all circumstances that occur on their spiritual journey. Soaring emotionally charged vocals and modern production give what Night Moves Magazine described as “a little melodic, a little alternative and a lot unlike what is getting stale today.”
