While riding up the escalator that took us to the walkway level, I pulled out the tickets from my purse for the Memphis Quartet Show. Just around the corner was the entrance to the room that would fill with music, Gospel quartets, fans and vendors for the following three days. A blue banner with…
The engine of the green Cavallo tour bus sat humming in the parking lot of a gas station on Route 60 in Southern Missouri. Taking a breath of muggy, humid air, I reached to open the trunk of our car when the door of the Cavallo bus opened with a whoosh and out walked…
It was one of those bright, sunny, cheery days…fluffy white clouds floated along in the sky and though it was a little humid, it was still a day that could bring a smile to your face. Children laughed and bounced around the playground as the breeze tugged on the plastic table cloths at the church…
Tell you what, when the map on your phone tells you the arrival time for a 6PM concert is 5:57…it means you’ll get there at 5:57! Well, that happens when road construction is afoot. The most important thing is we did get to the Bethlehem Baptist Church in Springfield, Tennessee in time to see…
Drops of rain chased me into the church doors of Fellowship Baptist Church of Cape Girardeau in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. This was the last concert in our “May Madness SGM Mini Marathon”…one we weren’t really sure we’d make it out to. A few days previous (at that time) the F5 tornado went through Moore,…
Churches, theaters, auditoriums – any place where you can find Gospel Music on a regular basis that’s dependable to bring in artists who have set their course on ministry, these promoters are the lifeblood to the industry we love so much.

The doors of Old Bethel Baptist Church stood open (as you will soon find out, in regards to the title of this review, that’s NOT a good thing!) Anyway, the church sign stood tall reading, “The Whisnants in concert – 7 PM.” I parked my vehicle and joined the others in our march towards the…
On the last night of Singing in the Sun, I walked in the auditorium while the Allen Family began singing Turn Your Radio On as a male quartet. “How many remember that song?” asked their father, Todd Allen. He went on to explain the absence of their oldest son and then introduced There’s Life in…
On Friday night, we had a great line up at Singing in the Sun; the Mark Trammell Quartet, Ivan Parker, the Talley’s, the Pfeifers and the Booth Brothers – it was awesome! After some congregational singing, Ray Flynn opened the night in prayer and then shared how 73 people came to know the Lord that…
I think it’s pretty safe to say that not every Gospel Sing you attend has a whale painted on the side of the building…but the Myrtle Beach Convention Center does! If you’re in Myrtle Beach, SC in mid-April, you can walk right in that convention center and enjoy Singing in the Sun. This five day…
