For those of you that, like me, wanted to attend the Freedom Celebration in DC this weekend but were unable to, you’ll be glad to know you can still listen to the concerts. Daniel Britt and Wanda Taylor of JOY FM will be hosting live radio broadcasts of the concerts this weekend. You can tune in on the radio or online at their website for concerts featuring Legacy Five, Greater Vision, and The Pfeifers, and guest speakers Col. Oliver North and Dennis Swanberg.

Times for the broadcasts are as follows:
Friday, July 3 at 7:00 p.m.
Saturday, July 4 at 10 a.m.
Saturday, July 4 at 6:00 p.m.

I haven’t heard Joel yet, so I can’t meaningfully comment on how he will sound. However, I was just recently asked to review Daybreak’s new Hymns project, which features Joel on tenor. Expect that review, and my further thoughts on this news, sometime next week.

Update: Here is the official press release from MTT:

We are excited to announce that our new tenor is twenty nine year old Joel Wood from Phenix City, AL. Joel formerly sang with the Daybreak Quartet from the Atlanta, Ga area. We welcome Joel, his wife Melissa and their four boys….yes FOUR boys. Tyler, 10. Brayden, 7. Jaxon, 3, and Cameron, 9 months. What a joy to have this wonderful addition to the Mark Trammell Trio . Please join us as we welcome Joel and his beautiful family! Joel’s first official date will be July 10 in Sikes, La. We believe that this is God’s man for the next chapter in the ministry of the Mark Trammell Trio.

Joel, we are glad you’re here!

Blessings,
Mark Trammell
