NASHVILLE, TN (March 20, 2014) – The Perrys, undisputedly one of the most legendary groups in Southern Gospel history, have reached yet another milestone by completing their first recording in the studio with StowTown Records.

When it comes to new music releases this year, The Perrys’ “Into His Presence” CD is the one that fans and industry insiders alike have been waiting to hear, and the project hits retail on April 8, 2014. StowTown co-founders Ernie Haase and Wayne Haun (also the producer of the project) have been just as eager for this day to come, since they celebrated the signing of The Perrys to an exclusive contract on October 28, 2013.

Highly awarded during their 41-year fascinating career, The Perrys’ roster currently includes Libbi Perry Stuffle—the unforgettable alto who carries on the family legacy, along with her husband and beloved bass singer Tracy Stuffle, their son Jared (JK) Stuffle representing a new generation on bass vocals, lead singer David Ragan, and baritone Bryan Walker.

"I Can Trust Him" has already been shipped to radio as the debut single from the CD, and now fans can finally hear the rest of the story, since they have been eagerly watching the project unfold through posts by group members on social media. Few artists can claim a more devoted group of listeners, and this fan base has become even more loyal during the past year of praying The Perrys through new challenges and opportunities during the ongoing recovery of Tracy Stuffle after his initial stroke in January, 2013. Libbi Stuffle is quick to say that the eleven songs on the project “no doubt came from the Lord,” and it is her prayer that the songs “uplift, encourage and strengthen His children,” just as they have ministered to her.

To kick off the project’s release to retail and this new chapter for The Perrys, a release party for “Into His Presence” will be held on April 8, 2014, at LifeWay Christian Store in Hendersonville, TN. The festivities begin at 6:30 PM with a live performance by The Perrys, followed by a meet–and–greet, and CD signing opportunity for fans.

Track Listing:

Into His Presence
When He Comes Walking on the Water
I Can Trust Him
How Long
Reminders
Lord, I'm Thankful
Sooner Than Later
Three Men on a Mountain
I Owe Him Everything
Just Stand Still
Privilege of Prayer

Jared Stuffle (JK) to Sing Bass for The Perrys

January 20, 2014 – (Hendersonville, TN) Award-winning, Gospel group, The Perrys announced today that Jared Stuffle, known to everyone as JK, will be singing bass until Tracy returns to the road full time.

JK is no stranger to road life. As the son of Libbi and Tracy, he has traveled with the group all of his life and has been the primary operating sound tech on the road. JK has been singing on stage since earlier this month, filling in as the bass for his dad.

“I am incredibly thankful for God’s provision over my family and my dad’s health over the last year and am humbled to be able to do my part in his absence,” says JK. Tracy has been joining the group on stage for a couple songs each night over the last couple months but as he continues to recover, Jared is excited to be filling in those shoes.

“I am very over protective of Tracy and his health and we want to make sure we are doing everything we can to strengthen his recovery,” shares Libbi. “Sometimes that means having to cut a date and we know that our fans respect that and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts!”

The Perrys joined StowTown Records in late 2013 and are in studios recording their upcoming CD, “Into His Presence.” “With Tracy’s recovery and physical therapy going so well and us recording our first CD with StowTown, this is sure to be an awesome year,” says Libbi. “Go God!”

StowTown Records Signs The Perrys

(Nashville, Tenn.) – StowTown Records is honored to announce the exclusive signing of The Perrys - undisputedly one of the leading names in Southern Gospel music - to its growing family of artists.


Inked during a celebration at the offices of Provident/Sony Distribution, this new partnership - between the legendary Perrys and StowTown founders Ernie Haase and Wayne Haun - is a natural outgrowth of the mutual respect, friendship and admiration built throughout the years they've shared stages across the country. Haase is quick to explain his excitement about the signing: “I have known Libbi and Tracy for about 20 years now. They are my favorite kind of people -- humble and full of the love of Jesus. It is my honor to finally get to work with them. I believe the best is yet to come!”

One of the most-awarded groups in Southern Gospel music during their storied 41-year career, The Perrys’ roster currently includes Libbi Perry Stuffle -- the unforgettable alto who carries on the family legacy, her husband and beloved bass singer Tracy Stuffle, their son Jared (JK) Stuffle -- assisting on bass vocals, lead singer David Ragan, and baritone Bryan Walker.

2013 has been a challenging year for The Perrys, with the ongoing recovery of Tracy Stuffle after his initial stroke in January. However, Tracy's recent return to selected dates and featured songs with the group serves as a picture of grace and hope to the prayer warriors who have joined The Perrys on this journey of faith. Tracy -- who signed the contract himself -- is clearly grateful: “Lib and I, along with our guys, Bryan, David, and JK, are so excited about our joint venture with StowTown Records and Provident/Sony Distribution. We look forward to many years of a lasting relationship with both companies. We have always had a wonderful relationship with our long-time producer Wayne Haun, and are excited that this new chapter will still include him. We are very
much looking forward to what the Lord and the future is gonna hold for The Perrys.”

Their new project is expected to release in March 2014, so fans should follow The Perrys on social media for updates on the recording process, as well as upcoming concerts, events, and Tracy's recovery. Libbi's heartfelt updates and prayer postings on Facebook have also become a must-read for both new and long-time fans of the group.

Both cds will be available for the first time at the Perrys’ booth at the National Quartet Convention, which will be held in Louisville, KY, from September 8-14, 2013.

The Perrys Tour Schedule and Benefit for Tracy Stuffle

From The Perrys Partners email newsletter of July 25, 2013:

Thank you to everyone for your prayers and continued support for Tracy. He has made vast improvements over the past two weeks, and is undergoing intense therapy daily. He is in a specialized rehab hospital for stroke victims, and that has made all the difference in the world. Tracy is starting to eat some "regular" food, dressing in his own clothes (instead of a hospital robe), and follow commands. He's even starting to make a few of his own, which is a very encouraging sign! The trach is still in, and so he cannot communicate much verbally. However, we expect them to take it out soon.

Tracy has his big smile back! (taken on 7/25/13)

We are very excited that our record company has announced they are releasing a special "Tribute" cd to Tracy at the National Quartet Convention! This cd will feature 12 songs that Tracy is featured on, taken from our various projects from the last few years. The neat thing is that Tracy was able to pick out these 12 songs himself, by pointing to them to Libbi! We are also releasing a "Best of the Perrys" cd special during NQC. As soon as both projects are released, we will have them available in our web store.

The Perrys continue to travel each weekend, and have been making great strides as a group! David Ragan, our new lead singer, is doing an incredible job. You'd think he has been on the road with us for years. When Libbi needs to stay with Tracy, Leah Page is thrilling audiences each weekend. Bryan Walker is doing an admirable job mceeing and singing baritone. Libbi has been appearing with the group as much as possible.

The Perrys at the Gatlinburg Gathering

Libbi will actually be with the group this weekend at the James D. Vaughan Quartet Festival in Lawrenceburg, TN. This is the birthplace of southern gospel music, and is always a special weekend. Be sure to visit the Southern Gospel Museum in the Suntrust Bank building in downtown Lawrenceburg. This is a must-see for any avid fan of our music. The Perrys will be singing on Saturday night along with our friends, the Mark Trammell Quartet, Blackwood Brothers, and Chuck Wagon Gang. The event actually begins tonight and continues thru Saturday.

As you can imagine, Tracy's medical bills continue to add up. We are so thankful for everyone's support and love gifts during this time. Libbi's sister, Debra, has prganized a benefit concert for Tracy on Monday night, July 29th in Blairsville, GA. This night will feature our Georgia friends, Brian Free & Assurance, Karen Peck & New River, LeFevre Quartet, and Jaidyns Call (Debra's group). The proceeds will go towards Tracy's medical bills. Special thanks to all of the groups for taking time out of their busy schedule to show their support for Tracy.

All of the Perrys music is available from our web store at http://www.perrysministries.com. Don't forget that the full album soundtrack of "Through the Night" is now available. You can also order by phone by calling (941) 756-6942.

Thank you again for your continued support of Libbi and Tracy, and the Perrys. Hope to see you somewhere along the road.

Hey ,

What an incredible week we just spent on the high seas! We were a part of the cruise to Cozumel, Grand Caymen and Jamaica sponsored by KWFC 89.1 FM out of Springfield, MO. Fellowship, fun, food, and plenty of great gospel music. One great highlight was the reunion of Jubilation/White River, a popular Christian Country band that last performed in the mid 1990's. When we say band, we mean BAND! Those men can pick as well as sing. A big thanks to KWFC for the invitation to be a part of such a wonderful week. After making our way back to land, we capped off this working vacation with an evening concert for the great people of Baker, Florida.



PRAYER REQUEST

Many of you have already heard about our friend, Tracy Stuffle of the Perrys, suffering a stroke last week. He remains in the hospital in ICU and continues to be in serious condition. We urge you to remain steadfast in prayer for this man, his wife Libbi, their son Jared, and the guys in their group. We work with the Perrys often, in fact just a couple of days prior to Tracy’s stroke we were together in Fitzgerald, GA. Tracy is a great man who has been faithful to God's call through thick and thin, and we are trusting that God is going to perform a miraculous healing so Tracy can once again stand on stage and sing the gospel! Please join us in daily prayer for Tracy and the Perrys.

DANNY’S FAVORITE QUOTE OF THE WEEK

"In spite of everything I shall rise again: I will take up my pencil, which I have forsaken in my great discouragement, and I will go on with my drawing." -Vincent Van Gogh



FINAL THOUGHTS

We can look around and see that our world is in a sad state of affairs. War, famine, natural disasters, sickness, conflicts among each other–it’s all a sign of the times. But God in his word gave us the answer. To paraphrase a familiar passage of scripture from the 2ndBook of Chronicles, if the people of God will humble themselves and pray and turn from their wicked ways, God will hear and heal their land. Notice it doesn’t say a thing about sinners, evil ones, or those who hate God. It’s God saying, "If MY people." Christians, if WE will do what the Bible says, we have the power of God on our side to bring about radical changes for the better in this world. It is the prayer of Gold City that you will live the promises of 2 Chronicles 7:14 in your own life this week!

Karen Peck and New River Head To The Studio

From Karen Peck and New River's email newsletter of January 28, 2013"

We, along with thousands of others, are continuing to pray and believe God for a miracle for our dear friend, Tracy Stuffle. He suffered a stroke a few days ago and is still in the ICU unit in Nashville.
We love The Perry's! Please help us pray for Tracy as well as Libbi and Jared.


I'm so amazed at how God works in our lives. We had an incredible weekend with several lives being changed. Susan, Jeff, and I agree that our hearts are more broken for the hurting people than ever before. You know, I'm finding that when I concentrate on the Lord, everything around me seems to fall into place. I'm sincerely praying that He will continue to teach me to completely trust Him in every area of my life. So many times I try to fix things on my own which usually winds up in a total disaster! How much better life is when I let God do the fixing!!! Lol


As always, we want to thank our precious DJ's for playing our music!!
'Sustaining Grace' features Susan and it is her first radio single in several years! It is my favorite song that she sings.
'God Lives There' is a song from my solo album which has Wes Hampton and Ben Isaacs singing along with me.
We are very excited about having two radio songs out at the same time! We haven't done this in several years.
The DJ's are playing both songs!!
Thanks to all of you for calling your local radio station and requesting both songs!! Lol



Be sure to check out our online store! We have lots of great deals available! http://www.karenpeckandnewriver.com/products-page/

News from The Perrys

News From Libbi Perry Stuffle, from The Perry's Email Newsletter:

I know, I know it's been a while since I've written! Seems like time just gets away from me, the older I get. :0) We have been so blessed to have a busy schedule this year. We've just returned from a 10 day vacation, which was very much needed! Now, we are full force (Lord willing) until December.

I know everyone is wanting a update on Tracy and how he's progressed since his heart attack and open heart surgery last August. Tracy as of date has lost 97 lbs!!! He has three more go and then he will be in the battle to keep it off. Tracy is regaining his strength back every day. He went to the driving range this week and was pleased with how he did, so now he's ready to hit the golf course! He is off ALL insulin! He takes metformin twice a day. He's been very disciplined about what he eats and that makes my job a lot easier. We do ask those of you that want to bring snacks and food to him on the road, please make sure it is low fat, low carb and low sodium. I know, that it's hard to find stuff that is all three, but it can be done. With summer here, we are love being able to get fresh veggies, so please feel free to bring all the tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, zucchini, onions, beans, lettuce, sweet potatoes, red bell peppers, and any other veggies you want to get rid of to our bus!! :0) Thanks once again for all of the prayers, cards, letters, emails, texts and love gifts. You will never ever know what each one has meant to us. Please continue to pray for us as we continue on this journey to a better and healthier lifestyle change.

A lot of people have ask what Tracy eats daily, so I have created a Facebook page that shows a lot of his meals with the recipes of how I fixed them. It's found at www.facebook.com/eattolivelibstuffle. We welcome any advice, healthy recipes and we also encourage others. A lot of people like us struggle with being overweight and eating healthy, so here we can all encourage each other!

TRACY STUFFLE HEALTH UPDATE

Earlier this week Tracy Stuffle (Perrys) spent a couple of nights in a Nashville area hospital for observation. We are happy to report today that Stuffle is resting at home. Libbi Stuffle told our reporter: "All tests are clear on Tracy. His recent "spell" was caused by standing in one place for too long and from taking a pain pill. Thanks for praying!!!!"

Tracy was taken the hospital.. and admitted, on Sunday after becoming ill at church.
