ERNIE HAASE + SIGNATURE SOUND

Combining 21st century ideas with the timeless quality of great quartets from the 1950s, Ernie Haase & Signature Sound have obliterated the traditional mold of gospel quartets. Their unconventional approach to communicating the Good News with ground-breaking originality has blazed a trail that will go down in gospel music history as no other group before them.

GUY PENROD

Guy Penrod, long time lead singer of the Gaither Vocal Band, is in every sense of the word a man cut from the cloth of rugged individualism. Never is this more evident than in the tracks of his first solo country album project, BREATHE DEEP. It's more than a collection of thirteen new songs, it's the creative thumbprint of a man with strong values and a positive worldview that harkens back to deep roots in faith and family.

THE HOPPERS

For over four decades, The Hoppers name has been synonymous with traditional Gospel Music. No other group in Southern Gospel has enjoyed more #1 hits than the Hoppers. In a day when little emphasis is placed on the importance of family unit, The Hoppers are a prime example of a prosperous family that is continually blessed by God for their service to His church.

KINGSMEN

If there's one group whose name inspires thoughts of pure, passionate, solid and true music, it's The Kingsmen. They've encouraged and uplifted listeners with their unique style since the conception of the group in 1956. With countless records and compilations sold, Grammy nominations, four Dove Awards and an induction into the "Gospel Music Association's Hall of Fame"-class of 2000, "The Christian Music Hall Of Fame" in 2008, this certainly solidifies The Kingsmen as Christian music's most predominate Quartet.  The momentum has not stopped as the group continues to help define the Southern Gospel genre for a whole new generation of music lovers, perhaps more so than any other group.

KAREN PECK and NEW RIVER

The name of Karen Peck has become synonymous with Southern Gospel Music. Her flawless, delightful soprano voice has made its way into the hearts of Gospel Music lovers across the country and garnered an unprecedented 11 Favorite Soprano Fan Awards from the readers of The Singing News Magazine, Southern Gospel Music’s leading fan and trade publication. The youngest of three daughters, Karen was exposed to the traditional sounds of Gospel Music at a very early age.

BUDDY GREENE

Buddy Greene brings a wide variety of southern Americana influences to his music to create a unique musical hybrid of country, bluegrass, folk, gospel and traditional blues. In addition to his solid reputation as a singer-songwriter and guitarist, Buddy has established himself as one of Nashville's finest harmonica stylists. His live concerts are equal parts hymn sing, jam session, church house revival, and journey through his own musical history.

CARL HURLEY

Carl Hurley has an international following from his work on the SIRIUS/XM Satellite network, as well as his many theater and public performances for every age group. Wholesome, vibrant fun drawing from his childhood, and his slightly slanted and hilarious view of human nature and all its wonders.

PAT BOONE

During the 1950s singer Pat Boone rivalled Elvis Presley for success on the charts, most famously with subdued covers of hit songs by black artists. Boone's first big break came as a multiple winner of The Ted Mack Amateur Hour, a televised talent competition. By the mid-1960s Boone's squeaky-clean style was no longer what rock fans wanted, but he proved he had staying power as a gospel singer and TV personality. Unabashedly Christian, Boone has since had a reputation as a wholesome, inoffensive celebrity who is willing to poke fun at himself.

GREATER VISION

Since organizing in 1990, Greater Vision has been delighting audiences with their rich vocal blend and their effective ability to communicate the message of the gospel. Over the years, Greater Vision has established a firm place at the pinnacle of Christian music, and has become the most awarded trio in the history of Gospel music.

THE McKAMEYS

If there is one word to describe this group, it would be sincere. The harmonies, the songs and love of the message and the people it reaches has never wavered. Your group will surely be blessed by the songs and testimonies that this group will share during their show.

ALISON DURHAM SPEER

Allison Durham Speer was raised in the Bluegrass fields of Kentucky, and even a land as vast as that was not big enough to contain her talent. She has been the guest soloist at the national Southern Baptist Convention, the Nazarene General Assembly, and numerous Praise Gatherings and Family Fest Events hosted by Bill Gaither.

BEN SPEER

As music director of Homecoming videos past and present, Ben Speer has been an indispensable part of the Homecoming phenomenon. Respected today as an artist, teacher, publisher, producer and studio executive, Ben spent most of the 20th century as lead singer for the Speer Family, one of the most influential family groups in the history of gospel music. During that time, he appeared on more than 75 Speer Family albums.
