Obviously, they only do a limited touring schedule, and based on the fact that many of their dates are quite a distance away, I would guess they only do dates to where it is lucrative enough for them to schedule. However, now that they are back singing together as a family, why do they not do any Gaither dates? Why are they not involved in any industry functions, like the SGMG concert held in Nashville during GMA week each year or maybe in a showcase at NQC? Are they just bigger than all of that? I see Joyce and Jonathan at various industry events and just at concerts here and there. Can anybody shed any light...or at least intelligently theorize?

Thought about seeing about how far they travel and sounds like they only do Tn. since they travel with a "band". Too bad. Will see about getting someone else. #21: Just went to the Tennesseans website and they have a pretty good sound.

If they own the site, that is the most obnoxious form of self-promotion I have ever seen. It appears they are using the website to find a nich in the industry because they cant make it as a group. I have never heard them in person, not sure about the quality. I live in the Nashville area and support Gospel Music, and as far as any Nashville favorite goes, there is a group called the Tennesseans Quartet that I recently saw in concert, and they are absolutely on fire, the best quartet around here for sure. If they come to your area, go see them. No thanks, LOL just had to say it again, thats so funny!

As i said he can't seem to commit himself to one group for any length of time;if he did he'd go down as one of the very best....ever.

Shame that the "No-Name Quartet" never took off. Never found a tenor, for one thing, and I think everyone else was preoccupied with other stuff. Two of those guys are with N'Harmony now, and if Will Van Wyngarden (another good bass) ever leaves, Shane would do well to hire Chris. #15: Absolutely agree.

Sad.

I was in the studio for part of the recording, and was privelidged to watch the 3 groups record a couple of songs together. Mosie Lister also sang with them, and Lari Goss joined Tim Parton for a 4-hand piano accompaniment. In my opinion, this was the equivalent of putting The Blackwood Brothers, The Statesmen, and the Stamps together 40 years ago, when they were in their prime. Could you image having a video of that?

There are a few dates that show up on their homepage. I listened to the entire single. If that's one of the top ten releases, SG is in serious trouble. I honestly, and am not intending to be mean-spirited, don't see how this song would make it to any radio station period. If that song gets a standing "O" everytime they sing it, somebody's mama must be traveling with them and sitting on the front pew. I'm sure they're nice folks, but there's not much to the song. It's not even well-written. Just my opinion. I’m pretty new to the “Unthanks” debate/conflict, however, I had a few minutes so I visited the site that #9 shared.
