In July, the Legendary Bogard Brothers of Memphis, TN will have
ministered for 50 years since the group’s formation in 1963. As
young men, the Bogard Brothers formed one of the most respected
groups in the region with an emerging national following resulting
from numerous engagements outside of Memphis. The Bogard Brothers
have recorded 11 singles and two albums over their illustrious
career.Perhaps the most important recorded single is the one recorded on the Bogard Brothers Records label–”One More Time”. Today, the Bogard Brothers span generations as the group now consists of two sons of one of the founding quartet members. With updated marketing and a refreshed image, The Bogard Brothers are a modern day lesson for how to build and sustain a quartet with a superb reputation.

The EchoAires of Moscow, TN are a refreshing twist in a traditional
genre. The quartet has emerged as a Memphis-area and Mid-South
region favorite. Paying homage to the quartet tradition, the
EchoAires are fearless when it comes to innovation. When we
conceived our tag line “Redefining the Gospel Quartet Experience”,
The EchoAires were a huge inspiration. They are tireless innovators who continue to show genuine respect for their elders and for all of the quartet traditions. The EchoAires are preparing for a West Coast tour in August. We are delighted that the audience of The Gospel Quartet Series and the fans of the
EchoAires will have an opportunity to experience a showcase before they take off on their West Coast tour version of “I Got Shoes”.

More than just a traditional quartet group, Men of Vision of
Memphis, TN have distinguished themselves as one of Memphis’
emerging quartets. This family group began their journey in
2010 having ministered as musicians with national gospel artists.
Testimonies packaged into “spirit filled” songs is how Men of
Vision describe their ministry.  With a contemporary sound, TGQS predicts that this group will be around for a very long time. Their debut project “Vision Chapter I” is the start of something very special. Their music demonstrates that these young men are ready beyond their years. The Gospel Quartet Series can’t wait for their appearance on our stage. Let’s hope that they can fit one of
our all time favorites “Sunday Morning Service,” into their program. That would be a special treat for the audience and the stage.

The Gospel Quartet Series is pleased to have The Bell Singers, one of Memphis’ best quartets, take the stage during the inaugural season.  The group has traveled throughout the United States delivering their uplifting and inspiring songs.  The Bell Singers’ humble spirits come through each of their smiles as they deliver heartfelt songs of praise.  This group embodies the theme that has emerged for TGQS June 23, 2013 concert–family, meaningful and outstanding performances from well-traveled performers. Those in attendance at the June 23, 2013 concert, will be delighted by the Bell Singers harmonies but are in for a special performance with inspired “quartet guitar” player, Rev. Danny Bell. Thank you Bell Singers for saying “yes” to The Gospel Quartet Series!

The Selvy’s of Earle, Ark., are an Arkansas state treasure.  When people think of the Selvys, the first thing that comes to mind is a performance that’s exciting and unpredictable. The tight-knit family unit  with modest and humble ways, are lead by the family patriarch and matriarch  and after 25 years of performing, the group has not found a stage they did not like.  Their passion and collective talent have allowed them to perform at international venues, festivals, and most recently the 2013 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.  Memphis audiences are very familiar with the anointed performances by the Selvys and know that each performance is unique, special and never the same.  We at The Gospel Quartet Series can’t wait for them to take the stage on June 23, 2013!

The Voices of Heaven from Bolivar, Tenn., are one of the Memphis area’s best kept secrets. After their TGQS appearance, this group of talented and gifted musicians featuring the Ellison Sisters joined by Pastor Frederick Perry will no longer be a secret. Their first project was produced by Mr. George Dean, the Stellar Award-Winning producer. Our favorite single from the project is the title track “Don’t Judge Me” which has proven to be an important driver of the group’s nationwide success. The group is well-traveled and has performed in Missouri, Kentucky and throughout the Midsouth. In this rare Memphis appearance and performing on June 23, 2013 during The Gospel Quartet Series, the TGQS family is delighted to introduce and present The Voices of Heaven.
