Charlene and Leon Campfield Sr are co-authors of Christ-centered books for young people. They enjoyed almost forty years of marriage before Leon passed on to his heavenly resting place.
Throughout their marriage, they raised two beautiful children who went on to be a part of their band, The Campfield Experience. Their music was self-taught and their songs were self-written. Their genre was inspirational rock, jazz and blues.
Leon was the lead drummer and lead singer. His vocal range was tenor to bass and his voice had a heavenly echo that reflected his love for Christ. Charlene played lead and rhythm guitar and sang backup. She wrote the lead sheets and kept the business part of the band in order. Jasmine was the second drummer and backup singer. She was a natural. Since the day she sat down at the drums, she never missed a beat.
She was fast and fluid, her rhythm was uncompromising. Jamie was an unbelievable bass player. His creative ability was nothing short of amazing, developing his own techniques and carrying the rhythms into uncharted territories. He also sang backup, filling in the three-part back-up harmony. Over the twenty three years that they played, they have many memories to reflect on.
Charlene now operates Campfield and Campfield Publishing LLC, a Christian Indie Publishing company that produces titles for children, teens and young adults.
Their mission is to encourage young people to further God's Kingdom for His glory through the generous gifts He gives to each of us. Of their titles, their children's picture books reflect their journey in music.
Charlene also operates Campfields Learning LLC, a Christian Resource webstore that has been redesigned to not only include Bibles and Christian Books but also publications concerning healthy cooking, sustainability, homeschool, school supplies, missions, biographies, and other related Christian works.
