Sweet Crystal

Winners of the twenty six Detroit Music Awards,
Sweet Crystal is a very rare group of musicians. Not only has the band remained in existence for over 4 decades, but also the core trio of MarQ Andrew Speck (lead vocals, keyboards), Bill Blatter (guitar,
vocals) and Steve Wieser (drums) has remained intact for the entirety of that time. Add to this powerhouse line-up Marty Kuchar on bass guitar and that’s a lifetime of quality hard, progressive rock music; of honing their skills as musicians and artists and generating a respectable fan base. Perhaps most importantly, a continuing quest refining their sound and standing on the front lines of the Michigan Christian rock scene, even before that particular branch of music had a name.
Over 40 years into their career, and the band are still reaching more and more people with their
message. 'We’ve always wanted to reach the world with the message in our music,' says Speck. 'Our
songs are meant to inspire and leave the listener feeling better about themselves and the direction their
lives can take.'
The music, message, mission and ministry continue and show no sign of slowing down any time soon.
Fun Fact: the band's latest single 'Whatever Is Needed, Whatever It Takes' has already been streamed over 201,000 times on Spotify and played over 153,000 times on their YouTube music channel. Sweet, very sweet indeed.
Welcome to the world of 5 Carat Rock.
