The Heirborn Quartet was founded in 1993. Prior to 1993, the group traveled several years as the Glorybound Quartet. In 1993, while recording their second project at Mark V Studio, the producers suggested a name change. After much prayer and many names being tossed around, the name The Heirborn Quartet was selected. The name comes from the idea that we are born heirs of the King.

    The group had its origins back many years ago in Rockmart, Georgia. Mark Garrett, current lead singer, and Mark Lumpkin, current tenor, formed a group with two childhood friends. After a short period of time, Mark Garrett's cousin took over the baritone position. With four stable parts, the group began to travel around to local churches, mainly doing revival appointments.    In 1987, the group added a bass guitar player and a drummer to go along with its pianist. Now traveling with a three piece band, the group began to focus on doing mainly weekend appointments. In 1990, the group's bass singer chose to leave to focus on his preaching ministry. That spring, Greg Gober joined the group as the new bass singer.
    In 1993, the name change took place, as well as a personnel change. Filling the baritone position was Chris Barker. The group was now made up of Greg Gober, bass; Chris Barker, baritone; Mark Garrett, lead; and Mark Lumpkin, tenor. With the group now firmly intact, Heirborn began to embark on better recordings and set traveling to the weekends.
    In 1994, Heirborn signed with famed Southern Gospel producer Eddie Crook on the Cedar Hill label. During two years with Cedar Hill, the group recorded two projects and released three singles.
In 1997, the group began producing its own projects with well-known engineer Danny Brown at Southern Sound in Knoxville, TN. The group has recorded several projects there with some of the top musicians in gospel music.
    In 2000, Heirborn recorded its first live recording. This live CD and cassette was accompanied by another first for the quartet, a full length VHS tape. In 2003, Heirborn's tenth anniversary was celebrated with a second live recording. This event was a great milestone reached by the group. This event brought back former members of the group and was attended by almost one thousand close friends who have played a big part in Heirborn's success throughout the years. This recording produced a CD, a cassette, a VHS tape and another first for the group, a DVD.
    Jason Taylor joined the group in late 2006 to sing baritone. Heirborn enjoyed four years with Jason before he left the group in January of 2012. Shortly after, as God would have it, the door opened for Chris Barker to return as baritone to The Heirborn Quartet. Now, Greg Gober, bass; Chris Barker, baritone; Mark Garrett, lead; and Mark Lumpkin, tenor are excited to see what the future has in store for Heirborn and can not wait to experiance the blessing God will bring.
    Although many changes have taken place over the years, Heirborn has never lost their focus of what this is about. Heirborn’s focus is to uplift the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and to try and bring the lost to the Lord. 

   If you have ever seen The Perrys in concert, you have undoubtedly sensed the power and conviction with which they sing. From the high-octane, hand-clapping hit, "I Wish I Could Have Been There," to the anointed anthem, "If You Knew Him," the Dove Award-winning group has been delivering soul-stirring performances across North America for nearly five decades. Their sound, unmistakable. Their calling, unarguable. Their performances, unforgettable. Their joy, unspeakable.

   The Perrys—Libbi Perry Stuffle, Jared Stuffle, Dayton Gay, and Jason Gordon—have forged a deep sense of unity. This is due, in part, to the fires through which they have walked over the last few years. After battling a longterm illness, Tracy Stuffle, Libbi's husband and Perrys' esteemed bass singer, passed away on February 4, 2018. With unparalleled determination, Libbi and her beloved group have continued to heed the call to carry the Gospel to the multitudes.

   Loved by gospel music fans around the world, The Perrys have earned many accolades over their illustrious career. In addition to their Dove Award for Song of the Year and countless Dove nominations, they have garnered numerous #1 songs and 15 Singing News Fan Awards, including the 3-time Favorite Mixed Group honor, 2-time Song of the Year, Favorite Album, as well as Libbi being named both a 2-time Female Vocalist of the Year and 9-time Favorite Alto of the Year.

   A career spanning fifty three years, their commitment to the calling of God upon their lives has never been greater. "Now, more than ever," says Libbi, "we want to share the good news of Jesus Christ in song." The Perrys are looking toward the future with great expectation. One cannot help but be affected by their story of tragedy and triumph. The Perrys are living proof that God can work all things both for our good and for His glory. "Yes, life is tough," Libbi shares, "and we all have battles—some we win and some we lose—but we can choose joy."

In the book of Nehemiah, we read that the joy of the Lord is our strength. The Perrys are living proof of this promise, and they are stepping into this new season of ministry still declaring God's faithfulness, still proclaiming His praises, and still choosing joy.

   What began as a simple idea among friends—to see what it might sound like to sing together as a gospel trio—soon became the foundation of a ministry far greater than anyone imagined. That first casual gathering, meant for just a few church services and gospel events, has since grown into a lasting work of ministry that has endured for more than three decades.

​

   Today, New Ground is celebrating 32 years of sharing the Gospel through song. With more than 3,500 appearances to their name, their music has carried them from their hometown of Scottsboro, Alabama, to Juneau, Alaska, and even across the ocean to Scotland, touching hearts and lives in countless places along the way.

​

   From the very beginning, New Ground has remained true to its calling: to present gospel music without compromise. Their journey has been filled with extraordinary opportunities, unforgettable moments of ministry, and a steadfast commitment to uplifting the name of Christ through every note. Founders Dale and Robbie Maxwell continue to carry the vision God placed in their hearts, joined by longtime member David Owens, who is now marking 29 years with the group—a testament to the unity and shared purpose that defines New Ground.

​

   Looking back with gratitude and forward with expectation, New Ground stands firm in their mission. In 2025, to the surprise and delight of their fan base, the group reintroduced a live band to their concerts after nearly 15 years. While not traveling with them full-time, the band has already joined New Ground for more than 20 dates in 2025, quickly becoming one of the most requested elements of their ministry. The lineup includes Nathan Burns (Piano), Jason Brown (Bass), Ben Sharp (Drums), and David Holt (Sound Technician)—a team that adds both dynamic energy and heartfelt expression to every performance.

   The Craguns are a dynamic, family group, comprised of husband and wife, Jordan and Elena Cragun, Ray Cragun (Jordan’s Father) and Denecia Innocent (Jordan & Elenas niece). 

   Ray and Victoria Cragun were married on May 26, 1984 and shortly after saying I do, the couple entered full time ministry together when they accepted the call to pastor. They served together in this capacity for 25 years. 

   During that time, they raised 6 ministry minded children. Music was always a huge part of ministry for the family, as they would sing together during church services, revivals, and camp meetings. As the kids grew older and slowly started leaving home, they would almost all take ministry positions around the country, following in their parent’s footsteps of loving Jesus and serving him with their lives and careers.

   In 2013 God officially brought the Cragun family together again from different ministry positions, to embark on the musical journey of a lifetime!

Ray Cragun had just retired from pastoring and Jordan Cragun (Ray’s oldest son) had Just resigned from his former position with another musical group. God started aligning all the pieces for the family to reunite in a powerful way, to do something they had always dreamed of doing... Touring together, in full time Gospel Music. 

Since that time, The Craguns have quickly endeared themselves to national & international audiences, touring from coast to coast and different parts of the world.

They are especially recognized by their warm, smooth harmony and strong spiritual emphasis.

   Since officially releasing their first album in 2013, The Craguns have been honored to perform in some of the largest venues, radio stations and television shows in gospel music... The National Quartet Convention (Main Stage), The Blue Gate Theater, Silver Dollar City, Daystar Television, and Gaither Homecoming Videos, just to name a few. 

   At a Craguns’ concert you can expect to laugh, be challenged and leave encouraged! You will quickly realize why The Cragun name has become synonymous with great gospel music! The Cragun Family is absolutely committed to effectively ministering the Gospel through song. They will do this through Spirit filled, Christ honoring, musical excellence for people of all ages. You are invited to a concert near you!

Their energetic ministry combines family vocal harmony, humor and brass instruments (trumpet and trombone) to delight audiences with their Christ-centered message, shared through the powerful medium of music.

   The group has been singing together as a family for more than 27 years. The Hyssongs have received many accolades for their quality, inspirational Southern Gospel sound. They were awarded the Singing News Fan Award for Favorite New Trio 2014 at the National Quartet Convention, Pigeon Forge, TN. Every year since then they have been voted Top Ten Trio of the Year.

   Anthem Edition burst onto the scene in 2003 as a trio called The Old Paths, founded by Doug Roark and Tim Rackley with a mission to glorify the Lord. The trio soon became a quartet and gained national attention. In 2012, they signed with Crossroad Music’s Sonlite Records label, releasing the breakout album ‘Right Now’ which yielded two #1 hits and earned them a Singing News Fan Award for Favorite New Quartet. Despite a hiatus in 2015, they returned to touring in 2017. In late 2022, the group changed its name to Anthem Edition and welcomed Andrew Utech as the new bass vocalist. In the fall of 2023, Cameron Edens joined as the new tenor.
