BIG ANNOUNCEMENT*******
From Pat’s Blog……..

“When I was 13 years old my Dad took me to my first Gospel concert. The Masters V came to Anniston, Alabama and I was hooked. It was at that concert that I knew this was what I wanted to do. Twenty-one years later, it came true,” says Pat Barker, former bass singer of the Mark Trammell Quartet. Born in Oxford, Alabama in 1973 to Roy and Eva Barker, Pat grew up in a family that loved music. He took piano lessons for fourteen years and then vocal lessons through High School and College. With his dad a choir director and mom director of the children’s choir, Pat grew up under the godly influence of his parent’s and life at church. When he was seventeen the church where his Aunt Cathy was choir director and pianist, Plum Springs Baptist, asked him to open up for a new group called Greater Vision. “I knew them from the Cathedrals and was thrilled,” Pat explains, “They sat on the front row and cheered me on the whole time.
Pat Barker is no stranger to gospel music and we are honored to announce to you that he will be emceeing and singing at Southern Gospel Weekend.
