EX LEAD SINGER FOR LEGENDARY CHRISTIAN ROCKERS

' P  E  T  R  A'

AND FOR CPR Back To The Rock II

2018-19 WORLD TOUR

Greg Volz showed great skills in singing from a very early age. Being a self-taught musician, when he was 13 years old, he started his own band called The Wombats. As he grew up, he went on to share the stage with the likes of Janis Joplin, Chicago and others. In 1970 he became a born-again Christian and started performing with several Christian bands. He formed a band called Gideon's Bible, and later toured with a group known simply as e Band, which was a part of the Jesus Movement. E's only studio recordings can be found on the rock musical 2LP-album Because I Am released in 1973. After e broke up in 1975 Volz moved to Springfield, Missouri, where he worked with legendary guitarist Phil Keaggy. He also performed the lead role in a rock stage musical called Ezekiel.



In 1976, Volz received two of the most important calls of his life. First, he was offered the lead singer position of REO Speedwagon. Volz, being a recently converted Christian, declined. Six weeks later, he got the call to participate in Petra's second album, Come and Join Us. Although at that time he participated as a guest singer in just three songs, founder/guitarist Bob Hartman (who, at that time, was sharing the lead-singing duties with co-founder/guitarist Greg Hough) offered Volz the full-time position.



His first full-time album with the band, Washes Whiter Than, came in 1979 and therein came one of the most prolific periods of the legendary band. Volz remained the lead singer until 1985 when he left to pursue a solo career. Volz released his first solo effort, titled The River is Rising in 1986 under Myrrh Records. He followed it with three other moderately successful albums. During this time, he also toured with Joe English in a band called Pieces of Eight. Volz' tours drew in the 1,000 to 1,500 range during this time - a very respectable number for a Contemporary Christian artist, but nowhere near the level he experienced at the end of his tenure with Petra.



In October 4, 2005 he re-joined Petra for the live recording of their last DVD, Petra Farewell. He joined the stage with current singer John Schlitt for a medley of ballads, and he followed it with a solo rendition of "Grave Robber", which was one of his hits with the band.



In 2010 he spear-headed the renewal of the classic members of Petra from the early 80's. Classic Petra was born. Greg X. Volz, John Lowry, Louie Weaver, Mark Kelly and Bob Hartman took the band on a 2year world tour with new recordings of the classic songs. ​

In 2016 Greg, Louie and John agreed to record another album of classic Petra songs and recruit the talent of former Petra member, Ronny Cates, and former Pieces of Eight Member, Kirk Henderson. Greg Bailey, another former Petra member, was asked to play bass on the 2018-19 tour. This new project is called CPR.

Suzy Hansen is a former professional educationalist, author, researcher, experiencer, and public speaker.  Suzy is from New Zealand and has had an impact on the UFO field worldwide.

She is the author of The Dual Soul Connection – the Alien Agenda for Human Advancement, with contributions by Dr. Rudy Schild, Emeritus Professor of Astrophysics, Harvard/Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Cambridge, USA.

Suzy is the founding Director of the UFOCUS NZ Research Network (NZ UFO sightings), and co-ordinator of Communicator Link (advocacy & support for experiencers/abductees).  She was instrumental in lobbying for the release of the NZ MoD UFO Files in 2010/11.

Suzy has lectured internationally since 1997, in the USA, UK, Canada, Denmark, Norway, Australia and New Zealand, about NZ UFO sightings and her own contact experiences with non-human intelligences/extraterrestrials.  She has featured in interviews, articles and documentaries (including NZ’s 60 Minutes – The Truth is out there, Korean TV, National Geographic’s Invasion Earth series), and writes for international UFO magazines.

“The Dual Soul Connection” documents Suzy’s lifetime of experiences with extraterrestrials and non-human intelligences.

“The Dual Soul Connection” addresses aspects of spirituality, consciousness, metaphysics, and alien culture, alongside scientific concepts of physics and advanced organic “conscious” technology, all within the framework of alien contact, highlighting our interconnection with a wider universal family.

Significantly, the book outlines Suzy’s participation in complex multi-layered alien programs, a positive agenda designed to assist and advance humankind and her experience of a dual soul identity central to this agenda.  Her presentations transport the audience “onboard the craft”, enhancing their understanding of what occurs in this physical, and sometimes non-physical (pure consciousness) environment.

Her book also covers her experiences of telepathy, animal communication, pre-cognition, life-between-lives, out-of-body experiences, and spirit communication.

Suzy’s focus for the last decade has been on engaging members of the scientific community to participate in examining the wealth of science-related detail contained in accounts of human interactions with extraterrestrial species/consciousness, as well as aspects of UFO sighting investigation data relating to technology and physics.

She believes one of the major issues facing mankind in the future will be open contact with other civilizations in the Universe.  In the meantime, there is much to be learned from humans who have already made this tremendous leap in consciousness, and who have witnessed the vast array of potential benefits available to mankind and our environment through such associations

Communicatorlink is a support, information and research network for first-hand experiencers of:

• contact with alien/extraterrestrial species (sightings, communication and interaction)
• other anomalous experiences, which are sometimes related to those above
