Cos’e Sustanon 250?

NASHVILLE, Tenn.—One of the most awarded and beloved groups in Southern Gospel this century, Ernie Haase & Signature Sound is celebrating 20 years of music and ministry with a milestone recording event to be held next week in Europe. 
 
Among a string of long-awaited concerts in Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Netherlands, and Germany this month, the multi-GRAMMY® nominated genre tastemakers’ May 20 show at Rafaël Evangelism Center in Amsterdam will be recorded for a forthcoming live album. 
 
“The Netherlands holds a special place in our hearts,” Haase shares. “It’s such a beautiful country with a rich history, and we’ve always received a warm welcome from audiences. We thought it would be an extraordinary place to record our 20th anniversary project. This album will not only be a celebration of two decades, highlighting the songs that have defined our career, but it’s a celebration of God’s faithfulness.” 
 
Live In Amsterdam: A 20th Anniversary Celebration will showcase renditions of such Ernie Haase & Signature Sound favorites as “Oh, What a Savior” and the Dove Award-winning “Reason Enough,” among many others. Reflecting on the quartet’s unparalleled career as they stand poised for the future, the recording is set to release later this year from Gospel leader StowTown Records, the label co-founded by Haase. 
 
“Over the years we’ve had the privilege of singing in so many special places, including the National Day of Prayer, NBA games, NASCAR races, Franklin Graham Crusades, Gaither Homecoming events, and our own tours, both across America and around the world,” Haase continues. “But the biggest highlight for us is the friends we have made along the way and the fans who have become like family. The testimonies of what God has done in their lives—and the fact that He used our music in some fashion to bring about the grace they needed—is the greatest achievement we could ever hope to gain this side of heaven.”

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (April 25th, 2023) – Daywind Music Group has signed on The Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum’s very own resident Gospel group, TrueSong, to New Day Records. The group brings great Gospel music to their large daily audiences, infused with worship, southern, and country sounds. TrueSong is nominated as “Favorite New Artist” for the 2023 Singing News Fan Awards.

TrueSong’s debut radio release and streaming release is “Army of Love,” which will be available for the first time on April 28, debuting on LifeFM with the Family Friendly Morning Show with Rodney and Reagan. TrueSong will release a second song to streaming platforms entitled, “Believe for It” on May 19th, with their full-length albumTell Someone releasing on June 9.

Dusty Wells, director of Artist and Label Relations for Daywind, comments, “For those of us in the A&R part of the music business, every now and then you will hear a group and their ‘sound’ just jumps out at you in the most amazing way. I have known a few of the TrueSong members for several years. Dusty Barrett sent me a couple of demos. I listened and then listened again, and WOW … I knew I had to sign them. I love their heart, their call, their passion and I love that they want to see lives changed with the music that they are bringing to a hurting world.”

Wells added: “What an incredible opportunity for us here at Daywind Music Group to partner with TrueSong and to work with the wonderful and talented team at the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum, part of the worldwide ministry Answers in Genesis. This new project is a blend of worship, inspirational, and Southern Gospel music that will touch countless lives. I am so excited for everyone to hear the music and share in the message of TRUESONG.”

Ken Ham, CEO of Answers in Genesis, adds: “Over the years, secular and Christian media have asked me how we found such talent that exists in the Answers in Genesis ministry and our Ark Encounter and Creation Museum attractions. My answer, ‘just as God brought the animals to Noah, so he brought the people to us.’ And that’s also my answer about the stunning resident artist group for Ark Encounter and Creation Museum, TrueSong.”

Ham noted: “There is no way humanly speaking we could have put a group like this together. God miraculously brought these four unique, extremely talented guys together to form a group that I believe will be a singing sensation in the Christian world. Yes, they really are that good. And they use their talents to impact lives for the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Dusty Barrett of TrueSong comments on the upcoming project, “In 23 years of professional music ministry, this project, Tell Someone, is the best thing I’ve ever been a part of. The team surrounding TrueSong, including our team at AiG, Daywind, our producer, and all of the musicians and engineers, are elite. They made this entire process fun, and the finished project is a result of God putting everyone together at the right time. I’m excited to share this music with the world.”

Stay tuned for more new music from TrueSong and watch them live at the Ark Encounter, south of Cincinnati, in Williamstown, Ky! TrueSong is featured this summer along with more than 100 artists at the world’s biggest Christian musical festival, “40 Days and Nights of Christian Music,” at the Ark Encounter’s Answers Center, August 1-September 9.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (April 24th, 2023) – The 2nd Annual SGMA of West Virginia Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and Concert took place on April 22nd, 2023, at Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church in Elkview, West Virginia. Dean Hickman, founder of The Guardians Quartet, was among the 8 inducted into the Hall of Fame at the ceremony.

With his tremendous impact and influence on the entire Southern Gospel community, Hickman is more than deserving of this honor. Dean began his career in Southern Gospel music at just 19 years old with The Golden Keys Quartet. In 1988, Hickman founded The Guardians Quartet, now one of the preeminent artists in the Southern Gospel genre with several #1 songs and accolades to their credit. Hickman also contributes greatly in industry leadership serving on the boards of the Southern Gospel Music Association and Sea Walker Media Corporation, among others. He is supporter and encourager of other Southern Gospel artists and has made an immense impact on the Gospel community.

Dean Hickman commented on his induction, “I am extremely proud of my heritage, growing up in the great state of West Virginia. I was part of a great family who loved God and were blessed beyond measure. However, little did I know the blessings that God would bestow upon me throughout my adult life. One of these blessings is when I recently learned that I was being inducted in the West Virginia Southern Gospel Music Hall of Fame. This is an unbelievable honor that I cherish from the bottom of my heart. Southern Gospel music has influenced my life since I was a teenager, and I am so thankful to the West Virginia Southern Gospel Music Board for this tremendous honor.”

Dean Hickman has a long history in Southern Gospel music beginning as a 19-year- old with The Golden Keys Quartet. In 1988, he embarked on his current journey as tenor with The Guardians. Dean is a natural encourager, handles the business end of things, and, most importantly, has a genuine heart for the ministry of the Guardians. There is no bigger morale-booster to The Guardians and also to the entire community of Southern Gospel singers than Dean Hickman. He loves this genre of music, and it shows every time he walks on stage.

2nd Chance Ministries is excited to introduce their new tenor, Brian Alvey.

Alvey was born in southern Indiana into a musical family. At age three, he began playing drums with his family group and, shortly after, started singing. From a young age, his desire was to travel and sing after hearing his favorite group, Gold City. That opportunity came along in 2009 when he joined Gary Casto, Josh Singletary and Dennis Dugger as tenor for Tribute Quartet. He would later join the prestigious Kingdom Heirs at Dollywood.

Alvey has enjoyed songwriting success with top ten songs on the Singing News chart and was nominated in the top ten vocal categories in the Singing News fan awards. While with Tribute, the group was awarded the Singing News Fan Awards “Horizon Group of the Year”, and Brian had the privilege to be part of the Kingdom Heir Band that won the Singing News “Band of the Year.”

On joining 2nd Chance Ministries, Brian Alvey said, “This has been a God thing from the outset. 2nd Chance is truly a ministry in every sense of the word, and that’s what I and my family love about it. Ricky, Brandon, Wayne, Donnie, and Randy have welcomed us with open arms. We are looking forward to many years of serving with this great group of people and can’t wait to see lives changed – all to the glory of God.”

2nd Chance group owner Ricky Malloy added, “I’m excited! God had the perfect plan all along. We met with Brian several times , and he went on the road with us a couple weeks.  Brandon and I knew right from thejump that he was the exact fit for us.”

Gary Casto said, “For thirty-eight years, I’ve had the distinct privilege of working with some of Gospel Music’s finest talents. Where Tribute Quartet is concerned, Brian Alvey provided a brilliant quality of musicianship as a vocalist and instrumentalist.”

Jeffrey Chapman added, “Brian has an incredible range vocally and can sing any style. He sings with so much feeling and you can tell he’s singing from his heart and a love for God.”

Brian and his wife, Amber, live in Florence, South Carolina with their children and their puppy, Ollie.
