"Promoting Southern Gospel Music & Christian Unity"

updated: 8 January 2008

2008 Schedule

Our committee met on 14 October 2007 to select the artists we would like to invite for 2008. The schedule is now complete and we hope you are satisfied with our choices for 2008.

January 20th - "Mark & Andrea Forester" - Originally from the Lapeer, MI area, this couple now live near Flint. We've had many requests for this couple to come to Lexington and this year we were able to fit them in. Wait till you hear their testimony.

February 17th - "Redeemed" - This mixed quintet from Yale Michigan United Methodist Church is fast becoming an another Lexington Favorite. Redeemed will be making their 5th appearance at Lexington. This group continues to improve with each concert they appear at.

March 16th - Please note Date change from the 30th! "The Joyful Sounds" - This all male quartet from Port Huron, MI has been on the schedule every year we've been promoting. This will be their ninth appearance at Lexington. This is another group that continues to improve with age.

April 20th - "Kingsway Quartet" - This is a mixed quartet that also seems to get better as they grow. They will be singing at Lexington for their sixth appearance. They come to us all the way from London. London, Ontario that is.

May 18th - "The Calvarymen Quartet" - This excellent all male quartet will be making their 7th appearance at Lexington. They hold many of the records here at the Lexington Concert series. This starts three straight months of great all male quartets. Group is based out of Flint, Michigan Area.

June 8th - "The Gospelmen Quartet" - Another crowd pleaser, this is the other group that has never missed a year singing at the Lexington Southern Gospel Concert Series. This all male quartet hail from the Genesee County area also. "Jerry Garcia" will open for the Gospelmen.

July 20th - "THE ROYALHEIRS" - Another very good all male quartet from the Flint/Genesee County area. This is probably the most improved all male quartet in Michigan. When they showed up with Kim Pillow a year or so ago, a member of our committee said "where have these guys been hiding?

August 17th - "The Thurston Family" - This family group from Holt, Michigan has been absent from the schedule the past couple years but they are back with us this year. We recently saw them at First Baptist Church in Port Huron and it was one of their best programs yet. We are proud to have them on our schedule again.

September 21st - "Souls Harbor" - Every year there is at least one concert I can't wait to see. This is one. We saw this group at Bayshore Camp in August 2007 and they thrilled the crowd both on Friday and Saturday. What harmony this mixed trio exhibit. They come to us from Saline, Michigan. They also instill a little humor in their program.

October 19th - "The Chapelaires" - This mixed quartet from Mt. Brydges, Ontario is one of the finest groups in Southern Gospel today. I bragged them up on my website prior to their November 2007 appearance. Afterwards, I was told I was 100% right. I personally will take this group over any, yes any, Southern Gospel Mixed Quartet today.

November 16th - "Jerry Garcia & Courtney Lynn" - These two soloists are going to split this concert. This was agreed on Labor Day Weekend 2007 if it was approved by our committee. Agree, the committee did. Both are excellent soloists. Jerry is from Adrian and Courtney is from the Downriver Detroit area. Courtney was a hit at Bayshore in August 2007. Jerry has already made two appearances as an opener at Lexington.

December 14th - "Rejoice" - Six ladies from Ross Bible Church make up Rejoice. Barb and I got to hear them in November 2007 at a harvest dinner in Goodells. They sing 3 part harmony like I haven't heard it sung in years. They will do a mixed Southern Gospel and Christmas Concert.

There you have it. Many who heard it at our November 2007 concert stated that it sounded like our best schedule yet. That could easily be. The Lexington Southern Gospel Concert Committee strive to make this the premier Southern Gospel Concert program in the area.

Thank you for your interest in our concert series and God Bless,

Tom Drake, Chairman
