We Are Messengers is fronted by Darren Mulligan, a single-minded Irish man who writes rock n' roll anthems and intimate earthly psalms for messy broken people. The goal has always been to engage culture in conversation about the goodness of God and to put words and melody to some of the hardest things we feel as humans. This is a band that understands and loves the outsiders, the marginalized, the lost, and the least.

We Are Messengers have built a career, the old-fashioned way, on the road touring relentlessly around the USA, Europe and beyond. They have had 11 consecutive top 10 radio singles including the multi chart #1 hit song "Come What May" and the Gold certified "Maybe It's OK'.

Collaboration has been a cornerstone of We Are Messengers' distinctive sound. In 2020, country legend Vince Gill joined the band on a one-take, stripped-back version of "Image of God," captured live and acoustic at Vince's place. Features by Cory Asbury, Josh Baldwin, Ben Fuller, Blanca, Naomi Raine of Maverick City and Christian Hip Hop legend KB have followed.
