Our latest CD is called Sheltered and my favorite song on the album is I Feel A Blessing Coming On.

However, we should be expecting a blessing from God because He delights in blessing His children.

2. What is one group highlight from the last 12 months?

We were nominated in Feb 2010 for Favorite Southern Gospel Group by The Christian Music Hall of Fame, along with The Gaither Vocal Band, The Booth Brothers, The Nelons, and Greater Vision.

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

4. Have you been on a mission trip? If you have, where did you go? If you haven’t, would you like to and where would you want to go?

8. What would be your fantasy venue, the one stage in the world where you would like to sing?

The Super Bowl Half time show. More people watch The Super Bowl than any other program. Can you imagine the millions that would hear the gospel through song?!
