A big thanks to diazep for spotting Rex Carroll on fire during White Cross's concert at Cornerstone Music Festival 2007. I have been lucky enough to catch Rex playing live and like Dan Huff has enough taste and Rock knowledge to put together singing melodic solos. Rex was also a very nice person, easy to speak too!




12-02-2007:
Rex Carroll and Whitecross will be playing live at the Cornerstone Festival in Bushnell, Illinois on Friday, June 29th 2007 on the HM Stage. For more information about the festival and tickets you can go to www.cornerstonefestival.com
