Whatever happened to N’Harmony?

2008-05-26T13:50:07-06:00

Can anyone tell me what ever became of the group N’Harmony? They had a great sound and I can find nothing from them lately. I guess that I have been hibernating.

Countdown to NQC!!!

Does anyone have an idea who wrote “I’m Happy In the Lord Anyway’, and any publishing info? Thanks

starting up

2008-08-29T14:32:15-06:00

I’d like to start singing out, but feel like it’s a “catch 22”. Everyone wants to hear your sound before they have you sing, but you need to have some backing to get a demo done. (As in, you gotta have $$’s). Anyone have an answer??

GVB Reunion Show a success!!!

2008-07-25T06:52:33-06:00

Wednesday the Gaither Vocal Band held their GVB reunion taping in Alexandria, IN at Gaither Studios. It went very well. The entire day was spent singing and sharing memories. All but 2 of the former members of GVB were in attendance.

The 2 pack DVD/Video will be out sometime in fall of 2009.
Should be one of the best! GVB also has their new Christmas album will released Sept 30th this year. It will be kinda like a Nat King Cole meets GVB Christmas. Looking forward to both!

Why aren’t they listening?

2007-11-21T12:59:41-06:00

It seems many posters have commented on the age of SG fans at 50+. I agree that seems to be the norm around here, maybe even 60+.

My question is how are we missing the younger listeners?

I don’t know how the CCM stations program in your areas, but here they mix what I consider pretty good music (NewSong, Steven Curtis Chapman, and the like) with other artists who sound more like rap, heavy rock, and even some type of new age sounding mess. But almost every person around here who listens to Christian radio listens to one of two contemporary stations.

I used to make it a point at our concerts to ask what radio station the people listened to. It was at least 10-1 for the CCM stations. Our concerts were primarily at Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi churches. The ones I’ve asked don’t like a lot of whats being played on the CCM stations but they still listen. We also have a SG FM station that covers the same geographical location. They primarily play quartet and traditional music.

How are we missing the middle age and even young adult Christian listeners? What is turning these listeners off.

Do you think a station that played groups like LordSong, Crabb Family, Martins, Hopes Call, CrossWay, Mike & Kelly Bowling, and other similar groups might attract these listeners?

How can SG radio attract a multigenerational fan base?

Where are the great pianists?

2008-08-01T14:24:05-06:00

You’ve heard it said that “southern gospel groups change piano players more than they change their underwear”. I started think about this over the past couple of days and started wandering, is there really a great pianist left in southern gospel music? Is there someone who does not play the same old songs the same old way? Are there any players that make a statement on talent alone and not being a 16 year old who can beat the keys off a piano or a goober that acts like a few screws are loose to get a few laughs to compensate for an otherwise mediocre performance? Can anyone offer any names for good candidates, preferably a pianist that knows the difference between a treble clef and a bass clef? I would like to hear who others think can meet that mark and fill a void that I feel is present in Southern Gospel.

Jeremy Peace with The Old Paths

2007-12-06T14:44:41-06:00

Has anybody heard The Old Paths since Jeremy Peace joined them? I just heard their new radio song with him singing it and I can’t believe it! I don’t know how long it has been out but it couldn’t have been long. I’m hoping they get close to me real soon! I"m from northern PA and i know they came to the Gospel sing in Lancaster but it was too far for me to go. If they are there next year I WILL be there! I’ll drive the distance!
