The Skyline Boys Announce Exciting Changes

Nashville, TN (August 29th, 2013) – Powerhouse quartet, the Skyline Boys, are pleased to announce exciting changes and happenings with the group.

The first is the return of one member and the addition of another. Outstanding tenor singer, Jodi Hosterman, is back with the Skyline Boys. The group is thrilled to welcome him, along with a brand new addition, lead singer, Brian Alvey. Alvey, who is new to the Skyline Boys, is not at all new to Gospel music. Both gentlemen have vast experience and tremendous talent. The two, along with bass singer and group owner, Dennis Powers, and baritone singer, Chris Little, are excited about the days, months, and years ahead as they strive together to serve God and share the music that tells the story of His love.

The latest great news for the prominent Southern Gospel Quartet is a brand new, long term booking agreement with the acclaimed Dominion Agency (one entity of the mutil-faceted Michael Davis & Associates). Dennis Powers shares, "God is doing things we couldn't do and we are very excited about being with Michael Davis at Dominion Agency. We have a new project being released at NQC called " Favorite Hymns and Classics Vol. 2 with special guest Squire Parsons helping us on " Beulah Land. Everything we do is only possible because of the hope of Christ and our prayer is that every door He leads us through will lead us and others closer to Him."

Another highlight is that the group is back in the studio at Crossroads with producer, Jeff Collins, working on a dynamic new recording. Collins expresses, "It's great to be working again, in the studio here at Crossroads, producing the Skyline Boys, with Dennis, Chris, and new members Jodi Hosterman and Brian Alvey. I'm excited with the tracks we recently recorded and look forward to the upcoming vocal sessions at the end of September. This line up of singers promises to be one of the strongest yet for the quartet. In our preproduction sessions I've been blown away by the ability of this group of guys. I've known and worked with Jodi, Brian, Chris and Dennis in different groups before but there seems to be a special and unique blend that this specific group possesses. I can't wail until we get the project completed so folks can hear this fantastic quartet!"

The group's current single "Cool Drink Of Water" is now playing and climbing the charts on Southern Gospel radio around the world. Be listening for it and be watching for more great things to come from this quartet.

Happy 2013!

Lots of exciting things are happening for our family, and we hope your year is off to a great start as well!


We were honored to be the hosts of “A First Family Christmas” last month at First Baptist Atlanta. We hosted four shows and sang a short set in each one. I also performed solo with the FBA choir in both Sunday morning services. It’s always a privilege to be with Dr. Charles Stanley and he was kind and gracious as always. He presented us with beautiful gift books while we were there and autographed them for us. Christmas came early!


My husband, Brian Alvey, has been attending college this past fall and is now going to be working full-time in the financial industry with Western and Southern Life providing insurance, investment and annuities services. We will miss him singing with us but we are excited about the new opportunity God has given him. He remains very supportive of his wife’s ministry, which I’m thankful for! Brian still writes music and records, so you will still enjoy his talents from time to time. Our latest single, “Make Way For the Master,” is one of Brian’s compositions and features him. If you haven’t heard it yet….just get ready, because it’s one of the greatest songs we’ve ever recorded.



From Debra:
I am excited to announce the release of my first book, God Moments In An Ordinary Life. For over twenty five years, I have been writing about the unexpected moments in my life that God uses to teach me more about Himself. This book is a compilation of these writings. The book will be available March 1, 2013 on our website. You can preorder through the website store starting January 7, 2013. The cost will be $15 plus S&H. I hope this book will be a blessing and a challenge to all who read it to find the God moments in your ordinary days.



In the spring, we will release a new double CD titled “The Ultimate Collection”. It is a compilation of the 30 most requested songs that we have ever recorded, and it includes several of the most popular songs recorded by the original Talleys, such as Triumphantly The Church Will Rise, He Is Here, Hallelujah Praise The Lamb, and Thinking About Home, etc. Be watching for the release of this CD.



Abraham Productions has announced the schedule for their 2013 events. Singing In The Sun in Myrtle Beach will be April 16-20. Gatlinburg Gathering will now be held July 3-6 at the Gatlinburg Convention Center. In October we will be joining other Abraham Productions artists in a tribute to Claude and Connie Hopper in Greensboro, NC.

Brian Alvey Joins The Talleys

One of gospel music’s most beloved families, the Talley Trio, announces an exciting new chapter in their lives and ministry. Brian Alvey joins Roger, Debra and Lauren on stage in September 2011, making his debut at the Gatlinburg Gathering. Brian and Lauren were married in June 2011 and with this change the group will officially be known as The Talleys.

“Brian not only brings an impressive vocal ability to the group, but will add a new excitement to the stage with his proficiency on bass guitar, piano, electric and acoustic guitar and steel guitar. We look forward to showcasing his many talents on stage, but what we love most is his testimony, his heart for ministry and the impact he will have on listeners,” says Roger Talley.

Brian is an Indiana native and was raised in a pastor’s home. He has previously played piano and sung with Southern Sound, Beyond the Ashes and Tribute Quartet. Brian co-wrote Tribute’s first top 10 single, “That’s Why I Love Him So,” and was a 2009 Top 10 nominee for Horizon Individual of the Year.

Brian Alvey joins The Talleys

Hi, everyone! You see me pop up around here, especially when I’m doing posts from the National Quartet Convention. Earlier this afternoon, I talked with Roger about a change you’re going to be seeing in the Talley Trio soon.

Daniel: I heard you mentioned earlier this week that Brian Alvey will be joining the group. Is this true?

Roger: We’ve known for a long time that Brian is an extremely talented individual. He has been working with us for the past year, behind the scenes, doing marketing and promotion, and helping with a lot of things that we’re involved in. Now that he and Lauren are married, we’ve decided that we’re going to take advantage of his talents and have him join us in the road, on stage. We feel that he has real calling to share not only singing and playing, but through his songwriting and his speaking ability as well. We’re going to be having him fill a wide variety of roles.

Daniel: With four people on stage, will you continue to go by the Talley Trio?

Roger: We will just be The Talleys. Some songs will be trios, and some will be four-part, but it will not just be the Talley Trio.

Daniel: Brian is a tenor singer; will you be singing bass?

Roger: Now, obviously, I’m not going not to suddenly become a bass singer. There are a lot of parts that I can sing, but bass is not one of them! So don’t look for a traditional quartet sound.

Daniel: Could you tell us a little about Brian’s background in Southern Gospel?

Roger: He has sung with Southern Sound, Beyond the Ashes, and Tribute Quartet. He has played instruments on stage with Southern Sound and Tribute Quartet, and written several songs for Tribute Quartet, including the hit single “That’s Why I Love Him So.”

Daniel: Will Brian be playing instruments on stage with the Talleys?

Roger: Yes. He plays a wide variety of instruments, including piano, bass, and acoustic and electric guitars, and we’ll be doing more live music with him playing some. On some songs, we’ll do four-part harmony, and different trios on others. We’ll just have a much bigger variety on stage.

Daniel: And for the question everyone’s wondering, by this point: When will he start?

Roger: We have had a rehearsal or two already. We’re working on some of the songs that we are currently singing. We hope to be ready to debut this new sound by September 1st. This fall, we will begin work on a new recording with the four of us.

We are excited about what he will bring to our team.
