On the April 13th weekend … as Southern Gospel prepares for the final National Quartet Convention in Louisville, Kentucky come September 8^th … the Jubilee is pleased to bring you a full hour-and-a-quarter of highlights from the many hours of Main Stage performances in Freedom Hall during the 2012 NQC.

On this weekend of August 25^th … the Jubilee picks up where it left off a few weeks’ back … and return you to the Civic Center in Fort Smith, Arkansas, where the McGruders are ready to continue their spirit-filled and worshipful concert. It’s 1996 and the performance is from their recording, Plugged In … Live.

With the second week in September comin’ up fast …. the Jubilee turns its spotlights on the National Quartet Convention and a past year’s performances. On this occasion the clock is turned back seven years to September of 2005. So . . . to Louisville, Kentucky, and the stage in Freedom Hall you’ll go … where you’ll hear from 14 groups. Let’s see … how many of those groups will be on that same stage this September?

The Jubilee leads off on this weekend of July 14^th with the second half of that recently-recorded performance by the Kellys titled Live & Large. The group is one that you don’t hear a whole lot about, but they are a first-class Southern Gospel quartet and are based in Southern Gospel’s birthplace, Lawrenceburg, Tennessee.

Then, with another edition of the National Quartet Convention in Louisville just over two months away … the Jubilee turns the clock back a full decade to 2002. You’ll want to be listening to see which groups are still on the “A” list, as well as those who are still the same, how their sound has changed over the years, if any.
