Based in Dallas, Connections is a unique "cover-band" that performs "tribute" shows to artists we love. The shows are free, and are always fundraisers for a missional cause related to the United Methodist Church.

One thing that makes Connections unique is that its membership includes ten United Methodist ministers serving churches in the Dallas area. Two dozen more lay members join them (from even more churches) to fill out the roster of this unique band. Our name has rich meaning for anyone in the UMC, and we feel that through this music we are living out the "connection."

Connections' first show was a tribute to the music of Dan Fogelberg, a show that is more poignant to us since his untimely death. We do a tribute to the music of the Eagles and Chicago, and James Taylor and Carole King. Our new for 2008 was a tribute to the Doobie Brothers and Elton John. In the Fall of 2009 debuted our biggest show yet-- Super Hits of the 70s."

Connections Band has raised almost $90,000 for groups such as the United Methodist Committee on Relief and Nothing But Nets.
