Many SG groups perform throughout the park during the day and in the Echo Holler amphitheater at night. Huge crowds. Some of the largest crowds of the year for SDC. Highly recommended.

Although the main stage concerts didn't have the best matchups (usually two groups per night), the ampetheatre was packed all nights except for when the remnants of some hurricane blew through. Turns out that the SDC event is a great lead-up to NQC. And, word is that the sg/bluegrass fest is on for next year as well. Re: SDC

Be interested to hear how all that works out, but I guess after 14 years, Mr. Penrod deserves a few weeks off.

The report did not say there would be no Southern Gospel but for the first time there would also be another type of gospel. I assume the small paper simply published a press release from the blues group. #5: The newspaper report said “After 43 years of strictly Southern gospel music at the annual Konawa All-Night Singing, this year the award-winning Blood Washed Blues Band will perform in Veterans Park.”

We performed at the Konawa All-Night Sing this year and I wanted to clear up a slight misunderstanding. The Blood Washed Blues Band (a local Konawa group) performed a 20 minute pre-show set at the event. Not exactly my cup of tea but they did a great job. When the concert began it consisted of my group, the host group Southern Sonlight, Kevin Spencer and Friends, The Link Family (a bluegrass group from Mo.) and Charles Johnson and the Revivers. Also there was a special "mystery" guest, Eric Hinson. I brought him in because my wife is very much a Hinson fan and the concert fell on her birthday. I scored a few points with that. The concert is sponsored by The Gospel Station, which has stations and affiliates in Oklahoma, Texas, and Mississippi and operates the most listened to Gospel station on the internet in the world. I assure you that the Southern Gospel format for the Konawa All-Night Gospel Sing (which doesn't actually go all night anymore) is safe for the forseeable future.

I'm the program director of The Gospel Station Radio Network who promoted the Konawa event..The local newspaper article was incorrect.. Yes that group did perform in the "preshow".. And did a fine job.. But the rest of the event was all southern gospel. And proud of it.. Kevin Spencer and Friends along with Charles Johnson and the Revivers were the featured groups as well as regional groups, The Homesteaders, the Link Family and Southern Sonlight. And finally a special appearance by Eric Hinson...We also had a tribute to honor the late Dottie Rambo(she was also supposed to be there).. As for how "it's playing".. We just turned on our 8th southern gospel radio station in Oklahoma.. The station covers Oklahoma City. A population of one million in the coverage area. Southern gospel is alive and well here in Oklahoma!! re- How’s it play with the folks in Peoria Ada, OK..

Although, it appears that the reviewer has no clue about country music, as "Who's Your Daddy" was a big hit for Toby Keith (if it's the same song), and "Memphis Women and Chicken" was a T.
