Why We’re Here
New Day is committed to performing music that uplifts, energizes, and heals the human family, celebrating both our diversity and our common humanity. Although we choose only music with a positive message, our style is eclectic, ranging from vocal jazz to world beat, gospel, country, and rock.

Who We Are
New Day was formed in 2003 to help lift consciousness through music at Unity of Fairfax in Oakton, VA. Eight members of New Day are vocalists, and instruments include rhythm and lead guitars, keyboards, bass, percussion, as well as occasional banjo and fiddle solos! With the exception of music director Carole Tomhave, all members of New Day are volunteers. We have a wide range of musical experience, from jazz quartets to musical theater and everything in between. New Day is:
Carole Tomhave Director & keyboards, vocals
Lisa Colburn Vocals
Steve Cumbie Vocals, rhythm guitar, banjo
Steve Graham Bass, vocals
Donna Salter Vocals
Roger Tomhave Vocals, rhythm guitar
Ron Wagner Sound technician, bass
Jeff Wolf Percussion, vocals

What We Play
Most of our music is by unsigned New Thought singer-songwriters, such as Jennifer Ferren, Karen Drucker, Karen Taylor-Good, Tom Kimmel, and Devotion. We also have our very own New Thought singer-songwriter in the group, Roger Tomhave, whose music has delighted the audience at our home church. In addition, we do some beloved covers, including Bridge Over Troubled Water, Operator, I Believe I Can Fly, Somebody’s Out There Watching, and Feels Like Home.

Where We Perform
New Day was very excited to be invited to play at this year’s Adams Morgan Day Festival in Washington, DC. New Day also opened PosiPalooza, the DC-area stop on the New Thought Songwriters Tribute national tour, in April 2006. We have held two standing-room CD release concerts at Unity of Fairfax. As the house band at Unity of Fairfax, we play for 250 members at the 11 a.m. service on the first and third Sundays of the month. On fifth Sundays, we often perform at other Unity churches, including Unity of Alexandria (VA) and Unity of Bon Air, in Richmond, VA.
