After a soft opening on Wednesday, the 13th annual Spirit West Coast at Laguna Seca Recreation Area shifted into high gear Thursday with more than a dozen contemporary Christian music acts, from a line-up of 50, including Seabird and Sonflowerz in the daytime, Kutless and Flatfoot 56 on the edgier Air 1 secondary stage, headliners David Crowder Band and Jeremy Camp on the K-Love main stage, and a host of supporting performers, speakers and comedians. Legions of families and fans of diverse ages--but predominantly pre-teens--attended, obscuring the green grass with spread blankets, folding chairs and bodies bundled up against the cool, mist-strewn air. Crowder lent an alt-country/Americana twang to his message of praise in the dimming dusk on the giant main stage, like on his cover of Hank Williams' "I Saw the Light." "We got to get some church in here," said the skinny genial singer/guitarist, backed by his youngish and similarly scruffy bandmates. In the ample time between the David Crowder Band and the night's highlight, Jeremy Camp, an emccee held forth on the mic, promoting sales of bleacher seats, sweat shirts, drumsticks and more. He introduced a Filipino woman who told of how forced child labor, prostitution, vice and creulty in her native hometown and in her family precipitated charitable giving to a nonprofit in attendance to help others like her. In addition to the well-attended music performances (attendance figures were not available at press time), crowds were drawn to ancilliary attractions like enormous monster-themed bounce houses, a VeggieLand Kids Zone, five massive tents housing, variously, artist merchandise and autograph signings, vendors, hip-hop performances and a prayer tent. Vendors sold every from airbrush tattoos and crucifix art, to Christian surfer clothes and light sabers. Food vendors were plentiful, with, by far, the longest lines in front of hot espresso and coffee vendors. Jeremy Camp's set, which started at about 9:30pm, was heralded by bombastic arena adult contemprary rock, colorful stage lights and floodlights that illuminated plumes of fog over the audience, to which many raised their hands. Spirit West Coast continues Friday, 9:30am to late, featuring MercyMe and Brock Gill, and Saturday, 9:30am to late, featuring Nick Vujicic, This Beautiful Republic and Christian music star tobyMac.
