LAST CALL: Worship and the Sound of a Generation

ree

They didn’t start with a stage. They started with a sound—a sound of unity, surrender, and unshakable faith. Meet Last Call, the gospel duo featuring Tricray Astwood and Adrian Jones, whose harmonies were first forged in private worship and prophetic prayer long before they echoed through concert halls. What began as a spiritual alignment has grown into a bold, undeniable voice for a generation longing for authenticity, healing, and hope.

 

Their harmonies carry weight not merely because of vocal technique, but because of their testimonies. Their music resounds with the urgency behind their name: Last Call—a divine reminder of the times we are living in and a call to anchor one’s faith in Christ while there is still time.

 

“God literally gave us our name,” Adrian recalls. “We tried coming up with names, but nothing worked. One night, I went to the bathroom at a sushi restaurant, and at the sink, I heard the audible voice of God say, Last Call. I came back to the table and told Tricray, and we both knew—that was it. Our name is symbolic of the last times we are living in and is a call for people to make their calling and election sure.”

 

A MEETING OF HEARTS AND VOICES

Before forming the duo in 2015, both Adrian and Tricray were solo artists and worship leaders, content to serve faithfully where God had placed them. But God had a bigger plan.

 

“I was invited to a youth service, and Adrian happened to be leading worship,” Tricray remembers. “I was in awe of his vocal ability and approached him right after. From that point, we connected regularly, and eventually, I joined his church. We sang together on the praise team—and that’s where the common ground of worship truly began.”

Through friendship, fasting, and prayer, Last Call was born—not as a career move, but as a ministry mandate.

WORSHIP THAT TRANSCENDS BORDERS

The journey from Bermuda to global recognition wasn’t smooth, but it was marked by God’s hand. Their breakout single, Victory, reached #1 on the Billboard and Mediabase charts and earned them a BMI Songwriter Award.

 

“This moment was monumental for us,” Adrian reflects. “To come from a small island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, to have the number one gospel song in America was mind-blowing. The most amazing part of receiving those accolades was knowing that God was with us and that He called us to make a global impact.”

 

That impact continues with their self-titled EP, releasing October 31, 2025. The project, they say, is some of their best work yet—filled with vertical songs of worship, corporate anthems, and even a surprise genre twist. “The songs are about who God is and us, as His children, learning to trust and believe in Him more,” Tricray explains. “While many of the songs are designed for corporate worship, some are vertical—personal expressions of devotion sung directly to God.”

 

MINISTRY ROOTED IN RELATIONSHIP

What makes Last Call’s music resonate is not only the sound but the source.

 

“The songs that we sing, and write come from a personal relationship with our Savior,” Adrian shares. “The most important things in our lives are our relationships with God and our families. Before we write a song or grab a mic, we make sure that we are connected and good with the ones who love us most.”

 

Both now fathers, Adrian and Tricray admit parenthood has reshaped their faith and ministry. “We like to say that we learned from the best, and that would be Abba Father,” Tricray explains. “We do our best to father our children using the Bible’s instruction. We also do our best to love our wives as Christ loves His church. When you become a parent, your faith is tested financially, spiritually, and emotionally. Thanks be to God, that He has helped us prevail in each of those areas.”

 “Perfection isn’t the goal, love is,” Adrian insists. “If we continue to submit our lives to Christ, He will continue to teach us through grace and mercy how to be better men. And if we are better men, then our families and ministry will be better.”

 

Balancing recording, touring, and family life is never seamless, but the duo credits their wives’ support as the key. “It makes it easier when your family supports what you do,” Adrian says. “Both our wives love God just as much as we do and they make sure that we are supported and are in a good space to do God’s work.”

 

A SOUND THAT HEALS

Last Call believes gospel music holds the timeless role of pointing people to Jesus.

 

“Gospel music has always been about creating awareness of who God is,” Tricray explains. “Jesus is the answer to every problem, whether globally or personally. Gospel music isn’t the bridge, but it is the One that gospel music exalts, that is the Bridge. When we as gospel artists lift and magnify the name of Jesus, gospel music does what it’s supposed to do—it heals this broken world through the power and blood of Jesus Christ.”

 

LASTING IMPACT

For Adrian and Tricray, success is not only measured in chart positions or accolades; it’s measured in impact—on the next generation, on families, on faith.

 

“Our prayer is that we can inspire those coming up after us to know that God is real and He works,” Tricray affirms. “We would like for our lives to be testament that God is able to save you, raise you, and sustain you. We would also like our legacy to be the music that we made, but nothing is more important than showing the world the God that made us who we are.”

 

That legacy now includes their independent label, Tridan Music Group, under which they are releasing their new EP. The move hasn’t been without challenges—financial strains and industry setbacks have tested their resolve. But every time doubt creeps in, they say, God confirms His promise. “He told us to do this, and He told us that He will work it out. Every time we get doubtful, or we want to quit, God always seems to give us a sign to keep going. So that’s what we do—we keep going until God says otherwise.”

LOOKING AHEAD

October 31, 2025, will mark the release of their highly anticipated EP—a project that promises to usher listeners into deeper worship while showcasing the creativity that makes Last Call stand out. “Preorders open October 17, with music videos, promotional events, and touring already in the works.

 

After a decade of ministry together, Adrian and Tricray know the cost of the call—but they also know the joy. Their music is ministry, and their name is a mission. As their new project prepares to launch, their name Last Call is a divine summons—one that carries across oceans, across generations, and into the hearts of all who will listen.
