DMG Concerts Division bursts on to the scene with the announcement of a three-day event for male quartet fans at The Greenbrier Resort

(Hendersonville, TN – August 1, 2014) Daywind Music is excited to announce the birth of a separate division of its operation, Daywind Music Group (DMG) Concerts.

The purpose of the new division is to promote Southern Gospel music through elite concert events.

“Our mission at Daywind is to reach people through great Christian music,” explains Daywind Records vice president and A & R director Scott Godsey. “We have launched DMG Concerts to connect Southern Gospel fans with their favorite artists at unique events. How the music is delivered continues to progressively change due to advancements in technology. We have launched DMG Concerts to deliver music directly to the fans in person. This new division of Daywind Music Group could best be described as a boutique promotions company. We will focus on special, multi-day events and see what doors open for us.”

The first major event for DMG Concerts will be the Greenbrier Quartet Festival, which will be held from March 9-11, 2015, at The Greenbrier resort in White Sulphur Springs, W. Va. The Greenbrier – which is an award-winning, four-star, luxury resort that is commonly referred to as America’s resort – attempts to combine the graciousness of the past with the exceptional comforts of today.

The Greenbrier Quartet Festival is expected to be an annual event. The 2015 festival will include some of the industry’s elite male quartets, including the Blackwood Brothers, Brian Free and Assurance, Gold City, the Guardians Quartet, the Kingsmen, Legacy Five, Tribute and Triumphant. Bass singer Gene McDonald and tenor singer Jay Parrack will also be performing during the four-session event.

“You don't want to miss this inaugural event,” emphasizes Godsey. “We hope that this will only be the first of many memorable events that DMG Concerts is able to deliver.”

Additional DMG Concerts events will be announced in the near future.

Mercy's Well and The Jonathans to Perform in Asheboro, North Carolina

From Mercy's Well email newsletter of May 2, 2013:


Welcome to May! It certainly doesn't feel like May here in North Carolina, and other parts of the country are experiencing bizarre winter storms - even blizzard-like conditions! Our prayer is that you and your families stay safe and hold on...Spring weather will be here soon!

We were far from winter storms this past weekend, as we spent a couple of days in Florida. Sunday morning's schedule brought us to Ocala, where Pastor Charles and the folks at Family Life Church provided a great atmosphere for our service. Sunday evening provided us the opportunity to visit our good friends at First Baptist in Palm Coast, FL. This church has become one of our favorites over the years...they know how to worship! The devil tried his best to distract from the service (fire alarm went off & the AC units quit running), but these folks did not let that hinder our worship. We had a great night!

SPECIAL CONCERT ANNOUNCEMENT: As we hinted last week, we are in the process of promoting a special night of Praise and Worship to be held Saturday night, May 18, 2013 at Balfour Baptist Church in Asheboro, NC. We are excited to announce that we will be partnering with our friends, The Jonathans, out of Bremen, GA. Parker Jonathan, the group's founding member, sang with The Kingsmen for 13 years in the 90's and early 2000's before moving to Georgia with his wife Paula. In addition to Parker and Paula, The Jonathans are comprised of Eric Dunson and keyboardist Jacob Pitts. We are looking forward to sharing this evening with them, and we trust you will come out and show your support! Make plans to attend, and bring a friend! Remember, there is NO ADMISSION CHARGE, but a love offering will be received. The concert will start at 7:00 PM, but we are hoping that seats fill up fast! We hope to see you there!

Have a blessed weekend!

Serving Him,
Brad, Greg & Kyle

Gold City News

From Gold City Newsletter August 1, 2012:

WEEKEND REWIND

Gold City has been all over the map this weekend. We had a blast in Barnesville, GA last Friday night with our friends, The Old Paths. Then we headed over to Lawrenceburg, TN for the annual James D. Vaughn Southern Gospel Music Festival. We were joined by our friends, The Kingsmen and the Mark Trammell Quartet, for a great night in the birthplace of southern gospel music. Sunday, the friendly folks at Berea, KY made us feel so welcome. And then Monday, we made our way to the Auglaize County Fairgrounds. Yes, we said fairgrounds, so you know what that means. The corn dog and funnel cake count decreased considerably after our bus pulled into the parking lot. Great times with great people like you are what make the many miles Gold City travels worth the sacrifice of leaving our families each week. Thanks for making our journey a sweeter one.

VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!

The NQC Awards final ballot has been distributed to everyone who is on the email list of the National Quartet Convention. If you received an email to a link for the final voting, please go vote and make Gold City’s legendary singer, Tim Riley, your pick for favorite bass. We may be a tad bit prejudiced, but we think he’s the best there is, and we know you love him, too. So cast your vote today. The deadline of August 1st is fast approaching. Let’s make Tim Riley the winner!
PICK OUR SET LIST

The suggestions continue to pour into our office with your favorite Gold City songs. As mentioned in last week’s e-newsletter, we are opening up our Wednesday slot on the National Quartet Convention to our fans to decide what songs we will be singing that night. Wednesday, September 12, is All-Quartet Night at NQC, and so we thought it would be fun to have you all send in what songs you want to hear that night. So, email your three favorite Gold City song titles towww.goldcitynqcsongs@gmail.com. We are excited to see what we will be performing that evening. Voting ends August 31st, so get your suggestions in before then.

A LITTLE EXTRA

Also during NQC week, the Beckie Simmons Agency will be hosting a special presentation to honor Gold City for their four decades of number one hit songs. You’ll be hearing more about this in the weeks to come, but we are so excited we wanted to share the initial news with you this week.

SINGLE NEWS

WEEKEND REWIND

We had quite a time at Tony Gore’s Smokey Mountain BBQ last Thursday. Ribs, pulled pork, brisket, chicken–there’s not a bad item on the menu. And when you pair great food with southern gospel quartet music, it’s gotta be good. Tony fed us like we’d been starving for three weeks, and sent us on our way with all sorts of goodies, including the most incredible, from scratch, banana pudding with meringue two inches thick! We would like to make a disclaimer that, although we did eat a lot, we are not responsible for the recent rise in pork and beef prices in East Tennessee–at least we don’t think we are! In all sincerity, a special thanks to Tony for his continued efforts to showcase gospel music at his wonderful restaurant. That evening was the start to a super weekend tour that took us to both of the Carolina states, then back to Tennessee for two Sunday services. We love singing to great folks all across the country, and this week it was a pleasure to be on the bus. We want to give a special shout out to Pastor Chris Moody for the great message and hospitality at South Cleveland Church of God in Cleveland, TN on Sunday morning!

GREAT BIG WEDNESDAY

The Gold City bus is stopping in some exciting places this week! Wednesday, July 18, we will be with all the Unthanks at the 13th Annual Absolutely Gospel Music Fest held at River of Life Church in Smyrna, TN along with Beyond The Ashes, Crystal River, Freedom, and Buddy Jewel. This is going to be a great evening of music FREE to the public! We can’t wait!

SATURDAY AT SONGFEST

Once again, Gold City is honored to be a part of Frank Arnold’s Songfest in Jackson, TN. We’ll be featured on the final night of this annual event, and will be with our friends Dixie Melody Boys, Gordon Mote, Mark Bishop, Aaron Wilburn and the Arnolds. We may even make a stop at Casey Jones Village before we head over to the Civic Center. For all the latest Gold City bus stops, check out our schedule below, visit our website at www.goldcityqt.com or check out our complete list of dates at our booking agency website, www.bsaworld.com.

For tickets or more information, call 1-800-547-6500.

RADIO UPDATE

Thanks to all of you for making our latest single, "Lord of Life" a Top Ten song. We just found out that it has moved to number 7 for September! This song is hope for anyone who believes. And it is our desire that through it, people would embrace the power of an empty cross and empty tomb for their very own lives!
