Ellie Holcomb and guests perform at Tokens

by | Sep 10, 2014 | News Slider

Dr. Lee Camp’s Tokens concert Tuesday night was filled with comedy, theological teachings and of course great music from artists like Ellie Holcomb. Tokens is a theological variety show. The night was titled Shame and Presence, and each of the guests spoke about times in their lives where they dealt with shame. All of the talks were done in a light-hearted way. Many Lipscomb students attended the concert thanks to 65 free tickets that were given out after the Gathering on Tuesday. Students could also receive an extra chapel credit for attending. Singer Ellie Holcomb spoke and sang at the Gathering as a preview to Tokens. After hearing her preview, students were most looking forward seeing Holcomb’s performance. “I’m a really big fan of Ellie Holcomb, so I’m most excited to see her sing because I really like her songs and her voice,” Lipscomb sophomore Kasey Gibson said. Camp introduced the show by singing a song before introducing all of the guests, and then Holcomb performed two songs. Following her performance was an array of musical and speaking guests. The Token Radio Players performed a skit about Biblical creation, and Al Andrews spoke next in a discussion format with Camp. Several musical guests followed. Andy Gullahorn performed a song, and he was followed up by Brother Parker, a musical group made up of one college and two high school young men. Odessa Settles closed out the first half of the show with a slow tune. One of the most entertaining speakers of the night, according to viewers, was Brother Preacher, who talked about different stories in the Bible in a comedic...

Tokens brings music, laughs to Alumni with ‘The Birds and the Bees and Loving Thee’

by | Mar 8, 2013 | News Slider, Opinion

Thursday night, a mixed crowd of Lipscomb students and those from around the Nashville community got a taste of a locally-spun variety show hosted by campus’ own Dr. Lee C. Camp. Tokens, described by Camp as a “theological variety show,” brought its newest broadcast to Alumni Auditorium, taking on a potentially uncomfortable-yet-always eye-opening subject with “The Birds and the Bees and Loving Thee”. The new recording was a bold, high-spirited celebration one of Christianity’s most ‘hush-hush’ topics. Unafraid to reach deep into the Bible to share some of the “post-Sunday School” offerings (i.e. Song of Solomon), Camp used the show to take an awkward subject and make it light, funny and most importantly, discussable.  Not only did this episode of Tokens offer some of Nashville’s finest musicians and storytellers a platform to share their talent, but the audience was given enlightening insight into the true meaning behind a few noted passages and their true intent: to shed a light on our longing for God’s love. Camp kicked off the show and appeared periodically as the event’s emcee. The host and his sidekick and leader of the house band (The Most Outstanding Horeb Mountain Boys) Jeff Taylor, provided snarky and well-supported banter throughout the program. Some of Camp’s ‘fact-sharing’ segments had audience members gleefully cringing. The great harmonica player Buddy Greene joined the band for the evening’s show. Starting the night off right was the duo of Sugar + the Hi-Lows, a folk rock team. Their peppy “Two Day High” brought a finger-snapping energy into the auditorium, with the house band backing up in fine fashion. They also performed a...
