Friday was a very good, very long day for me at NQC. I attended two spectacular showcases in addition to the evening concert where several of my favorites sang. Highlights: The Song of a Lifetime showcase is always wonderful and this year was no exception. There was a large combined choir from the Louisville area [...]
Showcase Spectacular was the heading on the NQC website, and that’s what it was when the Gaither Vocal Band combined with Ernie Haase and Signature Sound for their “Together” concert on Thursday at noon.
