The GVB with Jason Crabb

November 04, 2008 By: Aaron Swain Category: Gaither Vocal Band, SG Artists, SG Industry News, SG Music

I’m sure a lot of people have been anxious to hear what the group would sound like with Jason holding down lead, so here it is.

I share the opinion of many others that have already viewed the video: Jason blends a lot better than I would have thought. He handled the lead part well on that song.

Now I’m just waiting for a video in which David Phelps and Jason are in the same lineup!

News Roundup

November 03, 2008 By: Aaron Swain Category: Blogging Community, Liberty Quartet, SG Artists, SG Music

Liberty Quartet Adds New Member: Keith Waggoner, tenor singer for the quartet, reports that former baritone/pianist Doran Ritchey will be dropping the baritone from that title and focusing solely on piano. He’s a very talented keyboardist and will do very well. The group is adding a new baritone singer, Jordan Cragun, who has a rich family background in SG that Keith discusses in the post.
Be sure to watch the video featuring Jordan. He blends very well with the group. He will start traveling with them fulltime in January 2009.

(As a side note, a mega-review of Liberty Quartet’s newest album, Amazed is in the works. Be on the lookout!)

New Blog: Just wanted to get the word out about a brand-new blog called the VA Southern Gospel Blog. It’s run by my friend Jeremy Bell and, as the first post says, will be “a plethora of concert reviews, VA artist CD reviews, and a whole host of other things that will be brought out in the future. Join us as the team at VA Southern Gospel keeps you informed of what is happening with the Southern Gospel music scene in Virginia.”
