HOMEWOOD, Ill. – Eddie Crook Company and MorningStar Records recording artist Rod Burton announced today that plans for the Angelic Showcase during the National Quartet Convention are all wrapped up. The showcase will run Tuesday through Friday in the Label room of the Executive Inn in Louisville, Kentucky next week. The showcase will feature more than 60 artists from all over the country in what is being billed as a premier showcase event.

“We've got so many great artists to be a part of the showcase this year, including The Keatons (formerly The Dan Keaton Quartet), Eighth Day, Jackson and Scroggs and a host of others,” added Rod Burton, this year’s emcee and a performer as well. “We're very excited to be able to bring so many great artists together for an event that is free and open to the public. Just show up, and you'll be blessed beyond measure!”

This is the 2nd Annual Angelic Showcase, which this year expands from two days to four days. The showcase is owned and managed by Angelic Talent, and is sponsored this year by The Gospel Music Times, Southern Gospel Reporter, SGMRadio.com, Southern Gospel Glow, Revival Wind Music and Emcee Pro.

In addition to a great week of Gospel Music, this years event also feature the 1st ever Soloist Spotlight Showcase at NQC. The Soloist Spotlight will take place Friday morning from 9:00 a.m until 1:00 p.m. in the Label room of the Executive Inn, and it will feature some great regional solo artists. In addition there will be special performances by Rod Burton, Kenny Bishop, Chris Unthank and Sharron Kay King.

The Soloist Spotlight will also feature a panel made up of industry leaders and artists that will offer constructive review and feedback to each of the solo artists. The goal is to give perspectives on the individual’s performance in a way that will allow them to grow as artists and as ministers.

Rod Burton added, "Being a soloist in Southern Gospel can be a challenge at times. But with some really great soloists that are in the field today, it's becoming more and more accepted. These folks have a ministry and a desire to share Jesus with everyone they can. Helping them to grow that ministry with input from some of the best known folks in the business is a real treat for me.”
