The Kingsmen Release Second Treasured Classic, “The Judgement”

Arden, North Carolina — “When Thomas Nalley joined The Kingsmen as tenor vocalist in October 2022, I was well aware of his master abilities with a ballad,” enthuses the legendary Southern Gospel quartet’s baritone, Alan Kendall. “He has no doubt continued living up to that reputation, with ‘Unstoppable God’ reaching #1 this past May. I knew that ‘The Judgement’ was right in his wheelhouse. Night after night, he has made this former #1 his own.”

Like their previous single for Horizon Records, “The Judgement” is a new version of a treasured favorite from The Kingsmen’s songbook, recorded for a forthcoming volume of their successful Decades compilations — and, like “Saints Will Rise,” so strong a remake that the quartet easily decided that fans need not await the full project release to enjoy it on their favorite streaming platforms.

From ominous opening piano chords that foreshadow the lyric’s depiction of a judgment of sinners and Satan himself to the majestically orchestrated closing that affirms God’s infinite power, this new reading of “The Judgement” not only reminds long-time followers of The Kingsmen of the glory of the original, but reassures old and new fans alike that The Kingsmen have the talent and spirit to maintain their place among the genre’s most beloved artists.

“‘The Judgement’ hasn’t been released in its entirety in nearly a quarter-century,” notes Kendall, “and we’re thrilled that we finally have this anointed song re-recorded by the present day Kingsmen and available for everyone to hear and enjoy!”

“The Judgement” is streaming in Dolby Atmos spatial audio on Apple Music, Amazon Music, and TIDAL. Listen to it HERE.

The Griffins Welcome Three New Members

Spartanburg, SC – The Griffins, known for their soul-stirring Southern Gospel Music, are pleased to announce the addition of not one, not two, but three exceptional individuals to their musical family. These talented artists bring a wealth of experience and unwavering commitment to their new roles within the ministry.

Brian Scott from Johnson City, TN, assumes the pivotal position of lead/baritone vocalist. He is also an accomplished pianist. Beyond his artistic talents, Brian is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Mental Health Service Provider. His private practice, deeply rooted in Christian principles, reflects his unwavering faith and dedication to holistic healing.

Tim Griffin remarks, “With steadfast patience, Angela and I have diligently sought the ideal candidate to assume the lead position of The Griffins. This quest has spanned slightly over a year. During a recent exchange with an industry colleague, Angela received an unexpected mention of Brian—a name that resonated with both of us. We recognized Brian’s potential as a perfect addition to our ministry. Little did we realize that this encounter would not only fill the lead position but bless us with two additional members.”

Theresa Bellamy hailing from Kingsport, TN, will become the fourth vocalist of The Griffins. She brings a wealth of expertise. As the esteemed owner and operator of “Theresa’s Studio for Vocal Performance,” she has honed her craft and guided countless aspiring artists. Her addition promises to infuse the group with a new dimension of vocal excellence, captivating audiences with every note.

Josh Smith based in Elizabethton, TN, a consummate professional, steps into dual roles within the ministry. As the sound engineer, he ensures impeccable audio quality during performances—a critical task that often goes unnoticed but profoundly impacts the audience’s experience. Additionally, Josh takes the wheel as the group’s bus driver, navigating their journey with precision and care. His strong work ethic and collaborative spirit make him an invaluable asset.

Tim and Angela, the visionary founders of The Griffins, along with Teresa Woodrum express their profound gratitude for the growth God has bestowed upon the ministry. The serendipitous connection that led them to Brian, and subsequently to Theresa and Josh, underscores the divine orchestration at play.

Tribute Quartet Announces New Tour To Debut In 2025

Hendersonville, TN – Popular Daywind recording artist, The Tribute Quartet (pictured in attached jpg) has announced plans for an exciting tour in 2025 that will feature a select number of unprecedented concert events to be scheduled nationwide. The Tour will exclusively feature songs from the Quartet’s Quartet Tribute recording series, which to date has spawned two Number One hits, with Volume 3 of the series garnering a Gospel Music Association Dove Award nomination for Southern Gospel Album of the Year.

Each concert event will allow listeners to take a stroll through Gospel Music history with the Tribute Quartet, much like the group’s Quartet Tribute recording Series does. Three volumes of the Series have been released, including the upcoming re-release of Volume One with the current group line-up. The Series has garnered rave reviews from long-time Gospel Music fans, as well as individuals who are simply intrigued by the rich history of this classic musical genre.

The idea for the Series was birthed from producer Gerald Wolfe and Tribute Quartet members who each possess a deep love for the music they grew up listening to as young boys. “I am such a fan of these songs and the singers who originally recorded them,” states long-time group member, Josh Singletary. “To be able to create a tour presenting them to this generation of listeners and to those who hail from that generation as well, thrills me.”

Singletary states that each night on the upcoming Tour will be one Gospel Music fans will not want to miss. “In addition to performing these timeless classics, we will be sharing archival video that transports audiences to a wonderful place. I was overcome with nostalgia as we were selecting specific footage to use for this Tour,” Singletary says.

“Nostalgia is such a precious and powerful feeling,” fellow Tribute member Ian Owens states. “So much of what was once old is new and exciting again today because of the fond memories of experiences from our younger years. I grew up singing the hymns of the church and listening to the great male quartets of the past sing those ever so special and impactful Gospel songs like only they could. I was a fan long before I was a singer. I can’t wait to present these great old songs of the church and quartets of yesteryear with the same excitement, approach, professionalism, excellence and love they were presented with so long ago. It’s going to be a wonderfully powerful celebration of the music that has changed so many lives.”

“My dad always used to say, ‘You can’t know where you’re going if you don’t know where you’ve been.’ This tour give us a chance to share this incredible heritage with our friends,” Tribute member, Gus Gaches states.

Tribute Quartet lead vocalist and manager, Gary Casto shares the excitement of his fellow group members. “We are absolutely thrilled to present this Tour,” Casto shares. “Night after night, we’re approached by folks with so many requests to sing the classics, so we’re so happy we are able to create a tour consisting of evenings full of songs strictly from our Quartet Tribute Series. It’s going to be a special evening, and we believe fans and promoters alike will embrace the opportunity to be a part of this event.”
