Young Gospel: Nick Trammell

Mark Trammell Quartet

By Rebecca Little Burke

Many years ago a quartet was formed known as The Cathedral Quartet. This quartet was one of the greats and has paved the way for many in Southern Gospel music, including this month’s featured artist. As the recipient of the Singing News Fan Awards 2007 Horizon Individual and 2008 Favorite Young Artist, as well as an accomplished songwriter, there is no doubt that God has been at work behind the scenes over many years preparing for this young man to step on stage and share the Gospel message through song. It is my absolute pleasure to introduce you all to my friend, Mr. Nick Trammell.

RB: Tell us about your start in Southern Gospel music.

Nick: I was born in 1984 when my dad (Mark Trammell) was with the Cathedral Quartet. I was blessed to grow up around some of the most influential people in the industry and didn’t even realize it until I was grown. I watched my dad get on the bus to leave every weekend and always dreamed of someday getting to do the same thing. In 2006, I got my first opportunity to sing with some of my favorite people, The Perrys. Joseph Habedank called me in August of 2005 and asked me if I would be willing to fill in for him for a couple of nights while he attended his best friend’s wedding. Of course I accepted! I was scared to death both nights, but after that weekend, I was hooked. I prayed when I got home for God to allow me the opportunity to do this. Almost one year to the day later, in August 2006, I stepped on the stage in Seminole, OK again with The Perrys, my first full time group. Read more »

Jessica Trammell .. What is your favorite Christmas Memory?

We asked Jessica Trammell  ..  What is your favorite Christmas Memory?

The year Nick and I got engaged. Nick and his parents came up to Iowa for Christmas and he proposed the night they got there. He had a horse drawn sleigh and a fire surrounded with candles in a field covered in snow. It was absolutely beautiful. However, I think this Christmas will be memorable too. With two kids now, Christmas is such a special time for our family! This will be Charlie’s first Christmas and Tessa is two and everything is so exciting to her. She loves everything to do with Christmas from baby Jesus to Christmas music that sings at the top of her lungs while shopping.
