We are based out of Safe Harbor Baptist Church, in Salisbury, NC. Pastor Rick Perry of Safe Harbor is my pastor. He has been involved since the very conception of the group. It was after about two years of diligent prayer that the group was formed.
We dress in denim bib overalls, white shirts and red ties. These are the colors of Old Glory of course, but it goes further than that. It is in tribute to the 30’s that we do this. Bluegrass style music was just becoming popular. Our great country had terrible problems, much as it has now! Our country prospered and grew back then. The difference from then and now is that we loved God then, and were willing to put Him first. That just is not the case now. WE MUST GET BACK TO LOVING GOD AND PUTTING HIM FIRST!!!
The group has standards that each member must adhere to. They must be born again Christians. This is first and foremost. They have to know who and what they are singing about. They must attend church, and maintain a neat appearance. Though we strive hard to have great musicianship as well as great three and four part harmonies, it all really comes down to this – good Christian first, good musician second. It is our prayer that we can position ourselves where God can use us to touch others. We desire your prayers as we try our best to fulfill our motto: “Plowing the ground, planting the seed….that Christ died for you.”
