Born in Fairbanks, Alaska, in 1971, contemporary Christian guitarist/singer/songwriter Lincoln Brewster was playing drums, guitar, and mandolin by the age of seven. By 12 he was fronting his own band, Lincoln & the Missing Links, with his mother Cheryl on bass and vocals. He moved to California at 15 and joined the high school jazz and marching band. By 19, through a series of connections in Los Angeles, he had the opportunity to sign a major-label record contract but found that his personal life was spinning out of control. Christianity provided the tools and the solace Brewster needed to continue not only making music, but to make it in a way that celebrated his newfound faith
