TBN Hosts Southern Gospel Music's Harmony Honors April 7th From
Nashville's Trinity Music City -- Special Guest Former Attorney
General John Ashcroft
NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 4, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Southern
Gospel Music will be front and center Monday April 7th on the Trinity
Broadcasting Network as TBN hosts the Southern Gospel Music Guild's
2014 Harmony Honors from the famed Trinity Music City in Nashville.
The annual Harmony Honors recognize the best and brightest singers,
songwriters, quartets, groups, and innovators in this unique American
musical genre that has comforted, inspired, and entertained
generations of fans.
This year the Harmony Honors will recognize two of Southern Gospel
Music's most storied publishing resources: Pathway Press and
Stamps-Baxter Music. Southern Gospel aficionados will recognize
Pathway Press as publisher of the classic "Red Back" Church Hymnal,
used by thousands of churches across the South for over sixty years.
Generations of gospel groups have dipped into the depths of the old
"Red Back" hymnal for classic quartet and convention songs by such
legendary songwriters as Albert Brumley, Vep Ellis, Luther Presley,
Lee Roy Abernathy, and many others.
As for Stamps-Baxter Music, its classic "shaped-note" song books -
with titles like Super Specials, Crystal Rays, Silver Tones, and
Pearls of Paradise - have been used and cherished by Southern Gospel
artists for over 75 years.
Among the musical guests for this year's Harmony Honors will be some
of the most beloved and popular names in Southern Gospel Music,
including the LeFevre Quartet, the Perrys, the Tribute Quartet, Legacy
Five, Three Bridges, the Nelons, Gerald Wolfe from Greater Vision,
Karen Peck and New River, the Whisnants, and the Mylon Hayes Family.
Also appearing will be a special TBN guest, former U.S. Attorney
General John Ashcroft, himself an accomplished musician and long-time
fan of Southern Gospel Music.
Hosting the evening of honors and plenty of good old-fashioned
Southern Gospel Music will be Grammy Award-winning Christian music
artist Jason Crabb.
TBN Vice President Matthew Crouch noted that Southern Gospel Music has
been a regular part of TBN's history over the past 40-plus years. "The
rich harmonies and inspirational message of this sacred music have
been a blessing to generations of TBN viewers," he said. "We're
privileged to host this very special evening."
Tune in Monday April 7th at 7 p.m. Pacific (9 p.m. Central, 10 p.m.
Eastern) as TBN and Grammy Award-winning Christian music artist Jason
Crabb host a special presentation of the Southern Gospel Music Guild's
