~A Testimonial from lieutenant general John A. Bradley~
Jeff Senour, and his rock band, "Consider the Source" or "CTS," are an inspiration to all of us. He has a passion for supporting our nation's military service members and their families. We have seen him in action on several occasions. His heart for those who sacrifice for our country is evident in every song. He involves young people in his concerts to help them understand service to others. This is his passion. He has gone "above and beyond" in supporting our fabulous troops.

~WHAT PLAYING WITH CTS-JEFF SENOUR MEANT TO ME.~
 |
| Ashley Hayden & Jeff Senour |
Being able to play with CTS, is something i will never forget, not only did i get to play with them here in Killeen Tx, but i also got the opportunity to be able to go to Arizona and experience this once in a lifetime experience, again! Playing once was something i could have never imagined, but playing the second time, just made it seem even more amazing, and made the experience even more worthwhile. Being able to play with a rockband on stage during their show is something not many people get to do, but CTS lets that happen, and along they way, they inspire everyone to never give up. Playing with CTS meant more to me than i could even explain. This band is full of people who believe in honoring the ones who fight for our freedom, also including firefighters, police, teachers, and all the others who help out, and THAT is something that not many people TRY to do. Being on stage playing along side CTS, is an experience im always willing to have again! While playing with CTS, you not only get the feeling of knowing what its like to be a part of a rock band, but you also got to feel all the energy that they share on and off stage. No matter what song, upbeat, or just down and mellow, both the lyrics and the message show every emotion possible. Behind every song there is a story waiting to be said and heard, and with CTS, they make it easy to relate too, and easy to have a good time! Not only did i get to experience an experience of a lifetime,but i got to meet some amazing people along the way, people who care and love what they do. Let me see if i can put what playing with CTS meant to me in a few words --- which is probably impossible--
It showed me that there are people out there who care, it has taught me that no matter what, never give up because anything is possible if you just "reach for the sky." , it showed me that certain things may take time, and to never take anything for granted because NOTHING in life is guaranteed. It has also helped remind me that you must first take the little steps in life before you can make it to the bigger one, and thats something that i will always remember. Playing with this band meant so much to me knowing that i wasnt just there for a show, but i was there to help support the ones who fight for our freedom.. that means so much more than anyone can put into words. Being able to show our appreciation to them through songs, and with an amazing rock band, is what meant the most. Just being able to look out to the crowd and see the faces, and how much they all were enjoying it, is something i dont think anyone can ever forget the feelings that were shared. All in all,being able to play with CTS, meant more to me than i can and will ever be able to put into words. Maybe the right saying is, "An experience of a lifetime" because honestly,thats what it is for me, and thats what i will always remember it as. This band is full of amazing people, both as a band and individually. Yes, i did get to have the best experience ever,but along the way i met people i now i couldnt imagine my life without. What playing with CTS meant to me is an experience i will never forget. :)

~A TESTIMONIAL FROM DR. WALT TEMME!~
I want to share a few thoughts about my students’ recent performance with the CTS band. My symphonic strings from Mountain View High School (Mesa, Arizona) performed with CTS at a concert honoring our veterans and protective services (fire and police). My students played string backup to four tunes arranged for performance with CTS and had an absolute BLAST. The music was fun and engaging, and the band members treated the kids with warmth and respect. CTS interacted with the orchestra on both a personal and professional level giving them a true rock concert experience they will never forget. Through their love of music and sharing it with the orchestra, CTS drew the students into the performance experience getting them excited and JAZZED for an unforgettable performance.

~MWSA REVEW~
MWSA 2010 Gold Medal for a Musical CD
Thumbs up and a star rating to CTS's CD No Turning Back. Sixteen tracks of modern rock music featuring talent over volume, no matter what age this music will get you out of your chair and on your feet. This Phoenix based group consisting of; Jeff Senour (Lead Vocals & Guitar), Dave Legassey (Bass Guitar & Vocals), Steve Howes (Lead Guitar & Vocals), and Joe McGinnity (Drums), bring a freshness to good old rock'n-roll.
Deserving of the National acclaim they have received and for their performances before and for the troops here and abroad, having worked with Gary Sinisi and groups like Creedence Clearwater Revival, Molly Hatchett and Petra.
The CD is a great listen, not the cookie cutter rock heard too often today, they are unique in their diversity, ambition and direction as demonstrated on track after track. Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy, you will not be disappointed, I recommend this CD to all.
A special thanks for their work in helping and supporting our Veterans! Looking forward to the next CD.
