SPOTLIGHT NEWS & UPCOMING RELEASES (APRIL 24, 2017)
SOUTHERN GOSPEL SPOTLIGHT PRESENTS:
NEWS:
MARK LOWRY SIGNS WITH DAYWIND RECORDS.
TREY IVEY RESIGNS FROM LEGACY FIVE.
JON EPLEY JOINS GREATER VISION AS NEW LEAD/BARITONE VOCALIST. HE JOINS THE GROUP TO SHARE GERALD WOLFE'S PART.
FROM SINGING NEWS:
Gerald Wolfe says, “I’ve known Jon for several years, and am very glad to have him as a part of our group.” Gerald added, “Jon isn’t replacing anybody. No one is leaving the group, and contrary to rumors that might arise… I’m not making plans to retire. Jon is actually coming onboard to help me stay on the road for many more years. Most people who come to our concerts know I was diagnosed with a chronic neck muscle issue (Muscle Tension Dysphonia), a few years ago. I have good days and bad days, but never a day without pain and tension in both sides of my neck. The condition often makes it painfully difficult to breath and sing properly through an entire concert. Jon will be singing what has historically been my part in the harmony with Greater Vision. I will still be singing some features, handling the emceeing, and playing the piano in our concerts. The really good news is, I can confidently say the overall “GV Sound” isn’t going to change, but Jon’s great baritone voice adds a fresh, new texture to the trio’s blend.”
