HisSong is a unique name. Tell us a little about how you came to decide on the name HisSong? How did you come to the idea of spelling it the way it is?
Dennis Humphries: We had thought of several names. I was thinking out loud and said "We are singing His Songs" and it clicked. So that's how the name HisSong came about. I know to some the name may be incorrectly spelled but I felt it would make the name stand out a little more. We do have people that spell the name with two words but thats ok, either way it is still HisSong.
How do you describe the sound of HisSong?
Adam Elrod: I feel we have a distinctive sound with tight harmony. We strive to be the best we can be and the more we sing with each other the more we know each others vocals. I feel like God has blessed us with great harmonies.
You have a new member? Tell us a little about him.
Dennis Humphries: The newest member is 19 yrs old from Marion, Illinois. His name is Adam Cannon. It has always been his dream to travel with a full time southern gospel group. He just finished College a week before he joined HisSong but he felt he would be doing something different with his career singing full time.
Where did you find him?
Dennis Humphries: I was searching on the Singing News website Baritone Position wanted. I interviewed several people. I asked him to come to Kentucky where we was singing on a Sunday night. Our record producer, Wayne Haun, had been filling in for a few weeks. Before the concert, Wayne sat at the Piano and the 3 of us sang a song with Adam taking lead then switched where he would sing harmony. The blend was really good even though he had not sang with us before. I went ahead and auditioned a couple more people but kept going back to Adam Cannon. He went with us to Texas and everyone loved him and his singing and I hired him that weekend.
Will the addition of a new member change the sound of he group?
Dennis Humphries: The sound hasn't changed at all other than on his Solo parts but we have had nothing but GREAT comments about our sound and his singing.
What is your new project like?
Dennis Humphries: Our new project is most definitely the best we have ever recorded. The material is outstanding with some of Gospel Music's best known writers. We used a full Orchestra from the City of Prague and this was incredible. Our Producer, Wayne Haun, and Engineer, Kevin Ward, outdid themselves.
What song would each of you say is the best song that HisSong has ever recorded?
Adam Elrod: I would have to say a song from our new project called “i’m Still On His Mind” & “Watching & Waiting.”
Dennis: I know Adam already said this song but I will have to agree with him. It’s amazing the response we get from the audience "I’m Still On His Mind.” I would also have to say “look At Me, I’m His Latesr Miracle” and “it Won’t Be A Celebration.”
Adam Cannon: I have only been with the group for a couple months but I really like the song "No Graves for Flowers."
Who is the primary target of any audience that you sing to? Does your program reach everyone?
Dennis Humphries: Our audience reaches people of all ages. Our attendance with the young people has also grown over the past few months. That's one reason I love this new project so much. We have songs that the young people love, we have songs that the middle and older generation love so we are reaching a big variety of people at our concerts
If each member of HisSong could only sing one more song and never sing again, what would that song be? Why?
Adam: "I’m Still On His Mind" because the song lyrically speaks to me and the ones who hear it.
Dennis Humphries: It would have to be “i’m Still On His Mind.” We take for granted sometimes that Jesus Christ prays for us every single day and we are always on his mind. We have never regreted singing any of the songs.
What is the one thing you want said about HisSong 30 years from now?
Dennis Humphries: I want people to look back and say, I was saved during a HisSong concert or by listening to one of their songs or I was in depression but heard the testimony at the end of the service and God touched me. I also want people to look back and say, these Men were anointed and they lived what they sang about.

hi guys
Miss you. Hurry to south carolina

I have known this group for over four years and each time I am in concert with them I receive a blessing. Their latest project, “Watching And Waiting” is their best project yet. When Adam Cannon asked me which song was my favorite, I told him “I’m Still On His Mind”. The message in that song touches me and is one that everyone needs to hear. What a comfort to be reminded that Jesus Christ is praying for us everyday. The Orchestra on this song is awesome. These three men are the finest vocalists that I have ever heard; their harmony is the best. They do live what they sing about. God has truly anointed them.
I love you guys!

These guys are great. I love the watching and waiting CD every song is great.
I had the pleasure of hearing this group at my church in Northport, AL. They were such a blessing. I can't decide which song is my favorite, I love all of them.
HisSong has a great sound and tight harmony. They are great. Can't wait to see them again.
I love the song Healing Hands, I cry everytime I hear it. What a joy to see three young men committed to spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ. This group is GREAT!
I have known these guys for almost 5 yrs. now and they all have been truely blessed. Each time I have seen them in concert I always get a blessing out of it. Their latest project "Watching & Waiting" is AWESOME! All the songs on it are amazing and my favorite would have to be "I'm Still On His Mind" the anointing on that song is just incredible. Their producer did an outstanding job on this project! These guys do live what they sing. If you have never heard HisSong you are missing out on a lot. These guys are a great and you will get a blessing out of them.
Love ya guys!

A friend of mine, Sherry Lakey, was healed of breast cancer and when she heard "Look At Me - I'm His Latest Miracle" she told me to please find out the name of the group. It took several months, but when I finally found the name and a number, I was so pleased that Adam answered the phone when I called. He was so precious and sent the project "Three" CD's for my store right away and he even included the new project, "Watching & Waiting!" I was also able to see them in Hemphill recently and was truly blessed. It was impossible for me to tell they had a brand-new member, Adam Cannon. They are all so anointed and meeting them after the concert was so special to me. I am looking forward to seeing them again. God Bless! Sondra @ The Vineyard Christian Book Store in Hemphill, Tx.
I just want to say how proud I am of all the guys. They are truly an inspiration through their singing, life models. and most important, their obediance to the Holy Spirit. I am the new Adam's momma and I Praise God everyday for putting His plan into action and blessing Adam with such a wonderful opportunity and new family. I just want to thank everyone that has made HisSong so welcome and especially made Adam feel like such a part of the HisSong Family so quickly. Love Ya. . .Adam's Momma

I love It Wont Be A Celetration. That is my favorite song on this CD. WOW!
Watching and Waiting is an awesome CD. It is very hard to pick which song is the best. They are all so good. I really like Good Bye Valley Hello Mountain Top.
I love the song First Things First. It just makes me want to SHOUT! Because when I get to heaven the FIRST thing I gotta do it find my way to Jesus!!!
This is a wonderful CD. I haven't had the opportunity to hear HisSong live yet, but I can't wait to go hear them.
I have heard HisSong from Lufkin,Tx. to Mobile,Al. and loved it everytime I hear them. The truely show how much they love God and if you want to feel the Holy Spirit at work in your life go to hear them.
The Lord has really blessed me by letting me hear and see them.
I have all of their CD'S and play them over and over. I have other CD'S but without a doubt I play HisSong most.
I love His Song's music.....they have a great messege in every song they sing and I find great encouragement and comfort in all their music.....and some of the greatest guys there ever was!!!...they are truly annointed by God!!!.....South Carolina loves His Song!!!!
HisSong is just the best group. I have all of their CD's and the new CD "Watching & Waiting" has so many wonderful songs including my favorite
"It Won't Be A Celebration". God has blessed my life so much since the very first time I saw HisSong in person. I pray that God will continue to bless them as they sing and share God's
message with others. Love you'll!!!
I LIKE THERE NEW PROJECT. THEY HAVE LOST A JEWELL WHEN THEY LOST GARY WINNINGHAM.

I have heard HisSong in concert many times, and I was sadden to find out that gary was no longer with the group, but I have seen the group since the change and I they have not lost anything. They are the best group I have ever heard, The annointing is so strong with them. the concert I attended. there were people saved and touched and the annointing on the guys brought the house down. it was absolutly wonderful. The song "No Graves for Flowers" is my favorite song. they had to sing that song 3 times in a roll, I thought I was going to shout right into heaven. I will continue to follow the ministry of HisSong. b\c They are the best. God Bless you Dennis, Adam and Adam 2. Keep up the Great work of God.

I was just browsing around, and I saw that your new member, Adam Cannon was from Marion, Illinois. I used to live right by there in Carterville. I went to Victory Baptist Church. I My dad is now a pastor in southeast Kansas.
This group has been a blessing in my life. The very first time I heard them I was amazed at the anointing they have. God has surely blessed them. Keep up the good work guys.
HisSong is truely all about ministry. They do not come to entertain and just sing to you. Their only purpose is to minister. Each time I attend one of their services the presence of God fills the building. I have all of their CDs and 2 copies of some of them.
This is a awesome group. I just heard them with the new guy and he is great. I didn't think they could get any better but they have.
Great group of guys. It dont take long to find out that they are the real thing. A real blessing everytime.
The presence of God is right!! This group is great. I hadnt heard of them so didn't know what to expect and I was impressed. They sure love God.
hissong is my #1 trio the new project watching and waiting is so good it touches me every time i hear it which is every day
when i listen to ( just pray )i know there is help for me when i need it ,
( good bye valley ) im headed for victory
( no graves for flowers) losing loved ones is over
( im still on his mind ) i feel like shouting" because he still prays for me even thou i have failed him many times
i could go on but hissong keep up the anointed singing hope to see you tue at the river of life church smyrna tn along with other great singers ray jackson ms.
I have seen these fellows several times and each time they get better. They are my favorite gospel group and I can think of none better. They are tryly annointed in the Spirit. God Bless and keep on singing. I have a CD which I bought several years ago and I have just about worn it out. It is absolutely the best. Love you guys.
HisSong is a awesome group. They are very energetic and just the best I have ever heard. It wont be a celebration just gives me goose bumps thinking about how I won't celebrate until I see the face of Jesus! And I love the song First Things First because it describes what I'm gonna do when I get to heaven - head straight for Jesus.
I have to agree with all the comments on here and I have to add.....I've never in my life heard better harmony from any group.....especially on the song Grace In The Valley. That courus is AWESOME....talk about Goose Bumps!! You guys ROCK!!!
I love Hissong. They are the best group ever. I was afraid it wouldn't be the same with a new baritone, but Adam Cannon is GREAT!
Each HisSong concert I have attended has been filled with the Holy Spirit. Everytime I hear them sing they are better than the time before. They are very dedicated to spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ and seeing lost souls saved for His kingdom. What an anointing God has placed on each of these young men.
These guys are my favorite group too. I just love the song Healing Hands. My cousin had cancer and was healed and I cry everytime I hear this song.
I love the song - Im still on his mind - I never thought about Jesus praying for me everyday but I know he does. I love all of your songs on all the CDs. You guys are the best.
I love this group. They are all about seeing lost souls saved and bringing encouragement and comfort to the hurting. They put ministry first and themselves last. I've never seen a more dedicated and humble group before.
This is really a good CD the best HisSong has ever recorded and all of them have been great. I love the song I am mot ashamed. It says how I feel about being a christian. And the boys in the group sure are not ashamed either. They love God and want everybody to know about him.
Great harmony! I love your sound. Never seen you in person, but will have to make a point to do that. I really love It Wont Be A Celebration and I'm Still On His Mind.
