SGN Scoops’ Fast Five with Higher Ground

Higher Ground

Welcome to SGN Scoops’ Fast Five! Our guests today are Higher Ground. It has been said that there is a Gospel singer under every tree in North Carolina, and this mixed trio is from that prolific state. They have been in existence since 2002, with the newest member arriving just four months ago. Tight harmony and mature vocals invoke the sound of traditional Southern Gospel, in the style of the Speer Family or the Chuck Wagon Gang.

Listen to the music of Higher Ground and you will have no doubt about the heart of these artists. They sing for Jesus and their songs reflect His love.

Let’s find out more about Higher Ground in this SGN Scoops’ Fast Five.

SGN: We would love to hear a funny road story. Share one?

HG: Well our funny story would be when we went to Pigeon Forge to sing at the Country Tonite Theater. Wewere doing a little shopping and the guys dared me to get on one of those little horses out in front of the stores. Well, you know me, I did and it was on. They laughed so hard and i did too, but you have to have a little fun now and then. They haven’t dared me to do anything else.
