Gospel Day - Southbound, The Martins & High Road

Southbound is a contemporary Southern Gospel Trio.  Join Bishop Clint Brown, Seth J. Elbe, and Jody Braselton as they travel toward their roots of Southern Gospel music, with its powerful lyrics and harmonies! They are bringing a brand new sound to some old classics and a soulful feel to some new songs!

 

The Martins: Siblings, Joyce, Jonathan and Judy, collectively known as The Martins, have enjoyed countless radio hits and performances at concert halls, arenas, auditoriums and churches worldwide. During the 1990s, The Martins rose to national and international success, showcasing their stunning and distinctive harmonies before a vast array of audiences, from legendary singer/songwriter Bill Gaither's multi-award winning Homecoming Video and Concert Series to the White House to Carnegie Hall. Over the years the Trio garnered eight Dove Awards from the Gospel Music Association, as well as a prestigious Grammy nomination.

 

Highroad: Ask Sarah Davison what her favorite Bible verse is, and she'll immediately quote Proverbs 3:5-6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” It's a scripture that has accompanied the acclaimed singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist through life's highs and lows. It's not only a scripture that beautifully encapsulates Sarah's own journey, but the ordained path of her Grammy nominated band, HighRoad, as well. Members of High Road include Ivy Phillips, Tennessee Grandmaster Fiddle Champion, who grew up in the bluegrass circles and currently also plays for Jimmy Fortune. Kristen Bearfield, who hails from North Carolina, plays the mandolin and guitar, and Emily Ann Roberts who was runner up on The Voice plays guitar and sings in the group.
