Where do we begin? There is so much going on with Southern Sound. Of course the summer season is upon us and we are excited about new places to sing this year. Recently we were with the Wilburns in Caledonia Michigan, and on August 28th we will be in Evansville, Indiana with our good friends the Conquerors Quartet and one of my all time favorites, Gold City from Alabama.
We are also beginning a new work with a brand new label, which has been named Golden Street Records from here in Nashville. This is a brand new venture between Woody Beatty and myself, (Ben Harris). Historically Southern Gospel labels have been a very expensive luxury for many gospel singing groups. Golden Street is about to change all of that. From circumstances beyond our control came a need and an opportunity, and we plan on following His leadership in helping those other Christian artists who come to us. Our plan for Golden Street is simple. It will be a place for dedicated Southern Gospel singers who wish to record with a "quality first" performance plan. We are looking for great groups who know how to sing, and above all, love the Lord. If you're interested give us a call.
Please keep in mind the SoGospelNews Convention held on July 29th through the 31st. We will be there on the 31st this year and we are looking forward to seeing everyone. Of course I look forward to teasing Deon too. After all, isn't that what friends are for? The annual Grand Ole Gospel Reunion is again in August of this year and we will be there all three days this year. In fact, Southern Sound is supplying the sound equipment for the events scheduled at the Hyatt this year.
We stepped out on faith recently and bought a new-to-us bus from our good friend, Joel Hemphill. It's and Eagle and we couldn't be more proud. Our previous bus is for sale, complete with a new engine.
We have a new piano player joining us in early June, and I will have more on this in future articles. Right now we're trying to keep it under wraps for just a while longer. Now, last but not least, we have our annual homecoming at Fohs Hall in Marion, KY on September 25th at 6:30pm. Our featured guests this year are non other than Sunday Edition. We look forward to being in concert with Amy, Chris and Deon. You folks should plan on attending this event, for it will be a lot of fun. Full of pranks, laughter, sharing, and a lot of good Southern Gospel singing!

Congrats on your new record label and the new piano player. I know you'll continue to exhibit the class we've come to expect from you in everything you do for Southern Gospel music.
Are you all no longer with Zion Music and Kevin McManus?
That is correct. We left Zion in late March.
