Jonathan Wilburn Celebrates 10 Years with Gold City

GADSDEN, Alab. – Jonathan Wilburn is celebrating his 10th year with Southern Gospel’s premier quartet, Gold City, this month.

Daniel Riley, manager and baritone of Gold City, said, “I count it an honor to stand beside this man night after night. He is not only the finest lead singer in Gospel Music, but he has a passion for this music and the message it delivers. I love him like a brother and thank God for his friendship. Jonathan, the trial period is over. You’re hired!”

Since his time with Gold City, Jonathan has been awarded Favorite Lead Singer in the Singing News Fan Awards five times, including the last three consecutive years. He also has received many additional awards and nominations in other awards programs since his tenure with the popular group began 10 years ago.

Gold City is preparing to release their 17th studio recording with Wilburn. The as-of-yet titled disc is being produced by Michael English and Michael Sykes and is due out later this year.

The new recording promises to be a career recording for the group.

About Gold City
Since the group's formation some 25 years ago in the historical gold rush town of Dahlonega, Georgia, Gold City has consistently remained at the top of their field. Songs like "In My Robe of White," and "I Think I'll Read It Again" were immediate successes during the group's earliest years. Since then, number one plaques have continued to compete for shelf space with industry awards in the Gold City office. The group has won over 60 Singing News Fan Awards, released over 30 recordings, won the 1993 Dove Award for Southern Gospel Song of the Year, and has been a member of the Alabama Music Hall of Fame since 1992.
