Former Live frontman feels reborn with new solo album Former Live frontman Ed Kowalczyk, shown here singing with the band in 2006, releases a solo album on July 6 Ed Kowalczyk has had quite the spiritual journey in his life. Baptized as a Catholic, he went to Mass and received the sacraments as he grew up in Pennsylvania. But when he reached his late teens, the burgeoning musician needed to explore other paths of faith that included Zen Buddhism. "I went through a whole seeker's life," Kowalczyk said recently by phone from his home in California. Now 39, he's come full circle, and calls himself a Christian again. The past few years have also been a period of transition for him as a musician. After being in the band Live since middle school, he is now a solo act with new backing group and a new album.

The phrase “under God,” which appears between "One nation" and "indivisible" in the Pledge, is absent on the billboard.
