Please wait...

The Talley Trio is in the midst of a much-needed Christmas break, but I'm still here to wish you all a great holiday season and to catch you up on all the latest news...

On November 29, we sang for the first annual Harmony Honors ceremony presented by the Southern Gospel Music Guild. We performed our nominated song, "Jesus Saves." My dad's producing and arranging skills landed him his very first award for Creative Support, with which the Guild's voters honor work done behind the scenes in Gospel Music. (It's about time, say I.) Thanks to the voters for thinking of us.

We've enjoyed singing from our Christmas project, so cleverly titled "It's Christmas." It's always a little hard to remember songs that you sing only a few times a year, but I think we did just fine. It's not too late for you to pick up a copy at http://www.talleytrio.com

I celebrated my 22nd birthday on December 11, and since we were working on that day, my parents planned a special celebration a few days before. Our friends Danny Murray and the Voices of Lee (who sang on my "Surrender" album) treated us to a Christmas dinner concert at the Whitestone Inn in Kingston, Tennessee. Nobody sings acappella like the Voices, and they even threw in a special rendition of "Happy Birthday" for me. Thanks to Danny and the Voices, and the owners and staff of the
Whitestone for giving me a great birthday!

In the midst of all the holiday frenzy, we're still looking ahead to warmer weather and the Talley Trio Smoky Mountain Homecoming! Tickets are going very quickly, and this year the entire Smoky Mountain Convention Center is being sold as reserved seating, so you need to get your tickets early! Don't forget, this year we're hosting the Mercy's Mark Quartet, Anthony Burger, and the Booth Brothers, back by popular demand. With talent like that, how could you not want to be there?! Ticket/hotel packages are available, but they are in short supply, so hurry! Call 423-235-2916, or log onto http://www.talleytrio.com for ticket information, mark your calendars for July 22-23, 2005, and point the car toward Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.

We'll celebrate New Year's Eve in Pendleton, South Carolina with the Safe Harbor Quartet, who just happens to be the Horizon Group of the Year. After New Year's, we'll be heading to Texas for several dates.

It'll be nice to get some Texas barbecue after all that turkey.....

In between the shopping, the food, and the parties, don't forget about the incredible fact that God thought enough of us that He came to earth to be one of us, and eventually die for us. May you and your loved ones have a blessed Christmas.

Until 2005,

Lauren Talley
The Talley Trio
