I attended a concert in McMinnville (pronounced Mack Minn-vul by the locals!), Tennessee to see Gold City. This was a fundraiser for scholarships for local students and 5 recipients were introduced. Also appearing was a local quartet named Anchored. Anchored sang first and presented quite a varied program which was very well received by the [...]
This won’t be a full review, but more of an update on one of our southern gospel treasures, bass singer Christian Davis! Christian joined Dailey & Vincent, a highly-acclaimed bluegrass group that performs both secular and Christian songs with live accompaniment of guitars, banjo, mandolins, fiddle, and bass fiddle. And Christian is learning to play [...]

I understand that many others besides me chose to miss the Cathedrals Remembered showcase in order to see Guy, and [...]

I will be checking for comments and e-mails (dlhbrant@sgconcerts.com) as [...]

Eric Bennett persuaded him to come to the stage and they performed ”I’ll See You in the Rapture” together. Dr. Goff has been singing and preaching for over [...]
Norm Basden and Larry Parris invited Garry Jones and his friends Jay Parrack, and Chris and Craig West to join them at a “Gospel Party” – a very informal event in the fellowship hall of Park Avenue Baptist Church on July 31, 2009. It was really a fun-filled evening! They sang quite a number of [...]
I had the distinct privilege of attending a few of the evening concerts at the Steve Hurst School of Music which was held at a new location this year - Lee University in Cleveland, TN.
