Nashville TN – New Haven Records has announced the release of the debut single from the soon-to-be-released new recording from popular, multi-award-winning quartet, Gold City. The upbeat, remake of the Squire Parsons’ penned song Help Is On The Way, originally recorded by Gold City during the 1980s, features the renown quartet delivering the classic four-part harmony that first made Gold City so popular four decades ago. The single is a preview to more great original, never before recorded, songs that will be featured on the upcoming recording set to be available in early 2024.

Since 1980, gospel music fans worldwide have embraced the trend-setting style of Gold City. In 2017, the Quartet was inducted into the Gospel Music Association Hall of Fame, forever solidifying their place as the standard of excellence for gospel quartets.

Historically, Gold City has introduced listeners to such hits as I’m Not Giving Up, It’s Still The Cross, When I Get Carried Away, and their signature song, Midnight Cry. With ten #1 songs, multiple radio hits, and numerous industry accolades, this Dove Award-winning quartet has achieved legendary status. With over 60 Singing News Fan Awards to their credit, their career continues to be one that is celebrated, respected and relevant in today’s musical scene.

In recent years, under the leadership of Danny Riley, the group has continued to excel and carry on the rich heritage that was established by Danny’s father, Hall of Fame bass vocalist Tim Riley. Joining Danny in the present-day Gold City roster are three seasoned veterans who, like Danny, all grew up loving Gold City and hoping to one day sing in this stellar quartet. They bring with them a passion for Jesus and the classic quartet styling. Josh Feemster delivers the powerful lead vocal to the group, while Chris Jenkins carries the tenor part, as Jeff Chapman covers the bass vocals with a smoothness that he learned under the tutelage of long-time Gold City bass singer, Tim Riley. These four talented and gifted vocalists bring the classic Gold City sound to their brand new single, Help Is On The Way.

“Every person you see on the current Gold City stage is a longtime Gold City fan,” Danny Riley shares. “We all have our favorite songs the group has recorded down through the years. When we were listening to the older songs and talking about what songs we might add to our repertoire, this one stood out to all of us as having all the elements of what we want to deliver to our audiences. It’s upbeat, has a great message, and is fun to sing. Even though Gold City recorded it almost 40 years ago, it was never a single. So we decided to put it on our new upcoming recording. We hope people love hearing it as much as we love singing it.”

The new single and upcoming recording pairs Gold City with multi-talented arranger/producer, Gordon Mote and Michael Sykes. As Riley states, the arrangement, while fresh and progressive, holds firmly to the classic quartet style that has awarded Gold City such a following over the years. “Gordon and Michael were very instrumental in creating the new, updated arrangement. They are so talented and gifted. It was a joy working with them again. They have been long-time Gold City supporters, and we are thankful for their support through the years, just as we are thankful for the many Gold City followers who continue to love and support us.”

Continued support is expected as Gold City moves into the future, delivering hit songs with the class and professionalism that has always been unmistakably, Gold City. As the quartet moves to the beginning of a new year, once again they deliver a top-notch classic reminder of encouragement that regardless of the tough situations of this world, Help Is On The Way!

Help Is On The Way is available for pre-order on iTunes and Amazon now and will be available December 1 via all streaming platforms.

Nashville, TN (October 20, 2023) – The Sharps are no strangers to the stage or radio airwaves. For nearly 40 years they have traveled and sang all across the South as one of Gospel music’s most beloved quartets. Today, fans across Christian and Gospel music have an opportunity to experience the culmination of a year’s worth of prayer, planning, and production as The Sharps release their long awaited single, “Pourin’ Honey”.

The Sharps have partnered with Godsey Media Management throughout this production and rebranding process. Godsey Media CEO Scott Godsey and President Paul Secord took the lead during the A&R phase to find great songs that lined up with the new direction of The Sharps’ ministry. Together, the entire team at Godsey Media has poured into a project that sits on the exciting leading edge of Gospel music, while still captivating the traditional Southern Gospel music fans who have loved The Sharps for decades. “Pourin’ Honey” is the first single off their upcoming album and is a testament to The Sharps’ roots and where God is leading them.

Paul Secord states,“Months ago, Brent Baxter sent me a demo of ‘Pourin ’Honey’. As soon as I heard it, I wanted The Sharps to record it. The song lines up so perfectly with their new sound and positive message, it is sure to represent them AND their upcoming album well.”

Ben Sharp shares, “A lot of excitement is coming from not only this release, but the entire project that is upcoming. It has been 3 years since our last mainstream project, plus our reorganization that took place in June. We’ve been quietly working on this project with Scott, Paul, and the entire Godsey Management team for several months and it’s all finally here! I’m so excited for everyone to hear not just our new sound, but also this new incredible song that is full of encouragement, energy, and hope! We are honored to have a song like this! God is good!”

Group founder, Andy Sharp says, “We are so excited to finally be releasing new music with our new sound. It’s our prayer that someone gets just a touch of encouragement from this new song. We sure have enjoyed being able to record it, and now sing it each and every weekend.”

“Pourin’ Honey” is now being featured on radio stations across the country as well as ALL major streaming platforms. Expect their new album in early 2024.

FOR THE FIRST TIME THE MARK TRAMMELL QUARTET RELEASES PREVIOUS AND NEW RELEASES TO MUSIC STREAMING PLATFORMS.

After many requests from fans and artists alike, the Mark Trammell Quartet has made their brand new release, Classic, plus a backlog of previous CD’s available on music streaming platforms. These platforms include: Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube, Pandora, iHeart Radio, Deezer, the world’s largest streaming platform, Spotify, and more.

“It is with much thought and prayer that we have made our music available, literally, to the whole world.” says Mark Trammell. “Though streaming rates are still a concern for most artists, including the Mark Trammell Quartet, God has always provided for this ministry and always will. It is time for the hope of the Gospel to be in as many corners of the world as possible, both for the evangelism of the lost and the encouragement of the church.”

Wherever you stream music, the Mark Trammell Quartet invites you to follow them on your favorite platform, enjoy their current release, Classic, and/or add your favorite songs from previous releases to a playlist. For Amazon users, the ability to say, “Hey Alexa, play the Mark Trammell Quartet!” is now a reality. Even playing music straight from your TV on the YouTube app or the ability to listen to music on your phone or ipad, is now easier than ever.

There are many ways to support the ministry of the Mark Trammell Quartet. While streaming adds another dimension to that, MTQ is by no means diminishing the sale of physical CDs or USBs from their website or merchandise table. However, as the group exceeds its 20th year on the road it is not possible to stock every previous product in physical media form. Streaming assists with keeping the music fans love available even when they are discontinued. The Mark Trammell Quartet looks to continue to add previous projects to streaming in the future – so if you’re looking for ways to listen to discontinued projects like “God Has Provided” or “Treasures” MTQ’s unofficial tribute to the Cathedral Quartet, stay tuned to announcements on MTQ’s social media platforms and website.
