About Two Or More
TWO OR MORE is an Ecuadorian-American band from Southern
California that performs a style of Latin Rock that
has been compared to Santana, Gypsy Kings and MANÁ,
with elements of blues, soul, and pop. The band primarily
consists of three brothers: Walter, Eddie, and Renatto
Aguas. From the Black Crowes and Beach Boys to the
BeeGees and the Everly Brothers, there's something
about the unstudied perfection of sibling vocal harmonies
that creates a distinctive, irresistible style. They
are accompanied by great friends Arnie Vilches (Puerto
Rico), and Russ Reshaw (US). This culturally diverse
union of musicians makes for an original band in the
Christian music world.
The Aguas brothers have followed the tradition of
their mother, Stella, who sang with her brothers in
a band called Hermanitos Montano. They performed Boleros,
Valses Peruanos, and traditional Ecuadorian folk music
in Quito in the 50s and 60s. As far back as they can
remember, the Aguas brothers would sing back up vocals
for mom and serve as her band at every family gathering.
In their early teen years,
after many hours of garage practices, the brothers
recorded their first demo in 1985. Over the next
seven years the brothers played up and down the Sunset
Strip, at local clubs and and private parties. After
catching the eye of record executive Ron Oberman,
the band got picked up by what was then known as
Columbia Records. However, it did not take long to
find out that a "deal" didn’t bring
the happiness they were looking for. In 1991 longtime
friend and keyboard player Lance Mowdy left the band
and became a "Jesus Freak". Sold out for
his new faith and excited to share this passion for
God with his buddies, Lance continued to hang out with
the guys at practice and came to some gigs as well.
The youngest and most rebellious brother of the three,
Renatto, was most affected by Lance’s witness of Christ.
Renatto committed his heart to Jesus in the summer
of 1992. Left without a lead singer, and shocked by
their little brother’s conversion, Walter and Eddie
scrambled to try and find a new singer.
During this time, Lance and Renatto got back to working
on music together, but this time with purpose and true
passion. With songs like “Our Father,” “Hero,” and
“He’s There,” Two Or More was born and quickly grabbed
Walt and Eddie’s attention. As their interest grew,
Renatto could not help but ask his brothers why they
wanted to be part of a group creating Christian music
when they themselves were not Christians. Over the
next six months, Renatto and Lance had the opportunity
to witness to the brothers through their music and
their lives the love of Jesus. By the end of 1993 Walter
and Eddie had both given their lives to the Lord, bringing
the original band back together again.
For the past fifteen years, Two or More has been a
full-time ministry and a favorite of Christian music
lovers everywhere. With two nationally-released CDs
producing three top ten CCM radio singles, the band
has toured across the US, Hawaiian Islands, Mexico
and into Central and South America several times.
Whether it’s a mellow unplugged evening with the three
brothers or a high energy Latin rhythm filled concert
hall with the full seven piece band, Two Or More brings
a Christ-centered heart complemented by unparalleled
musical excellence. “We’re just a Jesus Band and we
want to see people grasp the fact that our God is alive
and well!” |
