After several years of performing in local venues, the group now performs in venues, concerts and churches across the Lower Peninsula of Michigan.[1] 2nd Mile performed at the 10th Annual Big Ticket Festival in Gaylord, Michigan, along with Jeremy Camp, Newsboys, Chris Tomlin, and rapper Nate Feuerstein, who is also from Gladwin.
