"Christian" is not a genre, but rather is a descriptor to music with lyrics containing Christian themes. Christian artists perform in all genres, and are often recognized as mainstream artists such as contemporary artists Switchfoot, Jars of Clay, Burlap to Cashmere, The Devil Wears Prada and Haste the Day. Christian artists in the rock genre range from the early days with Bride and Rez Band to modern day groups like Red and Divine Fire.
Many Christian artists also produce music with a calmer mood or country genre like Jeff and Sheri Easter, Gaithers, Karen Peck, Bruce Carroll and The Isaacs and Jason Crabb. Even artists such as Dino or Anthony Burger have ventured into piano soloists.
