BIG VOICE TOUR ENJOYS SOLD OUT CONCERT SUCCESS

BIG VOICE TOUR ENJOYS SOLD OUT CONCERT SUCCESS

Johnson City, TN – The Big Voice Tour, featuring Grammy winning recording, David Phelps and popular vocal group, Cana’s Voice, officially kicked off in Florida this past weekend and enjoyed a sold out concert in the city of Eustis.

The Tour continues this weekend with stops in Dayton, OH, High Point, NC, Spartanburg, SC, and Augusta, GA. Additional stops in February include Peoria, IL, Anderson, IN, and Jenison, MI. “We are thrilled with the early success of the Tour,” states Landon Beene, President of IMC Concerts, the promoter of the Big Voice Tour. “Attendance has been great thus far and the concert attendees love the energy and excitement and the vocal combinations presented during the evening. It is a special night.”
Among the sold out crowd attending the Eustis concert were Charles Stovall, Global Marketing Director for Disney Entertainment, as well as Tiffany Coburn and Jamey Ray, members of the popular musical group, Voctave. “To say that the Big Voice Tour is anything less than epic, would be an understatement,” commented Coburn at the end of the evening. “The evening is filled with laughter, tears, joyful praise, and musical moments that will make you wanna shout. Don’t miss this opportunity to be inspired by some of the greatest voices of our time!”
This weekend’s concert in Spartanburg on Saturday, January 27 is officially sold out; however, tickets are still available for many other Tour stops. To obtain a complete list of Tour dates and ticket information, regarding The Big Voice Tour visit www.imcconcerts.com.

REVERB SPOTLIGHTS 15X GRAMMY® WINNER RICKY SKAGGS

REVERB SPOTLIGHTS 15X GRAMMY® WINNER RICKY SKAGGS

REVERB SPOTLIGHTS 15X GRAMMY® WINNER RICKY SKAGGS

Nashville, Tenn.  — During an exclusive interview, Reverb recently caught up with 15X GRAMMY® Award-winning Country and Bluegrass legend Ricky Skaggs at his Hendersonville, Tennessee recording studio.

Skaggs sat down with the widely-popular music gear website to discuss the late Bill Monroe’s unique performance style and the impact the “Father of Bluegrass” left on the genre, as well as Country music. Watch the full discussion HERE.
Skaggs has been quite the buzz around Nashville as of late. Last May, he was spotlighted during a Special Program at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, highlighting his 50+ years as an entertainer. That same month, he celebrated 35 years as a member of the Grand Ole Opry. Later in the fall, he returned to his country roots when he performed all of his classic chart-topping songs before a sold out crowd at the Nashville Palace. The concert marked Skaggs’ first full-blown country show in Music City in 20 years.
Following the concert, Rolling Stone Country raved: “The playing, as one would expect, was exceptional, and his mountain tenor sounded just as pure as it did 30 years ago. It was both a joyful stroll down memory lane and a reaffirmation of Skaggs’ permanent place in the country and roots pantheon.” 
The icing on the cake was Skaggs’ 15th GRAMMY® win last year when he took home the gold for his producer credit on Hillary Scott & The Scott Family‘s Contemporary Christian album, Love Remains. For a full listing of Skaggs’ GRAMMY® wins, click HERE.

Sound~checking with The Lore Family

“Sound~checking with The Lore Family”

From Darren Lore:
Samuel was doing a sound check. He didn’t know I was recording. This is one of my favorite Squire Parsons song. And, we love ministering here at Good Shepherd Community Church. Notice the orange padding. Two congregations today had orange padding. Look For Me At Jesus Feet.

Also, Darren visited  with this fellow at the concert. He was a founding member of the SGMA. Anyone remember him?

Pay close attention to the Samuels falsetto at the end. Darren states, “By the way, Samuel has been sick! The kid has a love for Southern Gospel. His falsetto at the end is funny. He does that around the house all the time.”

Thank you Lore Family for sharing this special moment with us! We love you guys…..
