The Christian blues-rock group Three Crosses was formed in 1994 by longtime friends Steve Pasch and Ralphie Barrientos, who first began playing together while attending junior high school in their native New Jersey. Debuting in 1995 with a self-titled LP, Three Crosses scored a Top Five CCM hit with the single "This Is Not My Home; " Jefferson Street followed a year later, and in 1998 the group returned with Skinny Flowers. ~ Jason Ankeny
