On the weekend of August 3rd … the Jubilee begins with a brand-new release by the Kingsmen Quartet titled Front Row Live! It’s a collection of performances from the stage of Freedom Hall, the home of the National Quartet Convention in Louisville, Kentucky. Making up the quartet are Chris Jenkins, Bob Sellers, Randy Crawford and Ray Dean Reese.
Then, it’s the father and sons trio, the Bishops, in a performance recorded in 19-97 . . . simply titled Classics Live.
The Jubilee leads off on this weekend of July 27th by turning the clock back to September of 2000. Who were Southern Gospel’s favorites that year? Stay tuned, as you’ll be treated to a full hour of performances taking place on the main stage of Freedom Hall in Louisville, Kentucky 13 years ago.
If you’d like more information about the 2013 National Quartet Convention, you can go to their website … www.nqconline.com . . . or call 1-800-846-8499.
Finally, the evening is capped off with several super songs by another great family group from Southern Gospel’s past, the Paynes.
To begin on this weekend of July 20th … the Jubilee picks up where leaving off last week, by turning the clock back 50+ years to 1961, as you hear the Blackwood Brothers from an RCA Victor long-play recording titled On Tour. The location was the historic Long Beach Municipal Auditorium in Long Beach, California.
Next, the music takes a short break as you hear Mark share a story related to his mother. Finally, it’s on to the featured performance of the evening … a concert by the Freemans from 1996 which was recorded in Morristown, Tennessee, and is titled Getting’ Out the Good Stuff.
On the weekend of July 13th, the Jubilee leads off with a performance by the Mark Trammell Quartet. It took place in 2011 at the First Baptist Church in Morristown, Tennessee … which is the hometown of Gerald Wolfe. Of course, the Greater Vision boys were on hand to make sure the evening was properly “launched!”

Then, to round out the evening … the clock is turned back 50+ years to 1961, as you hear the Blackwood Brothers from a recording titled On Tour. The location was the historic Long Beach Municipal Auditorium in Long Beach, California. Tonight … it’s the first half of this RCA Victor long-play album, with the balance to be heard on a future Jubilee.
On this holiday weekend … it’s another encore airing of one of the most popular special performances ever aired on enLighten! It took place in June of 1990 in Orlando, Florida. Get ready, as we believe – if you haven’t heard this recording before – you are going to find this to be a very dynamic and special concert performance … with Teddy Huffam and the Gems. PLUS … before the hour is over, a very special, special guest will come on stage to join the group … as the late Anthony Burger joins Teddy and The Gems … in a tribute to the Kingsmen.
Many have asked about getting a copy of this recording, titled LIVE Like No Other! It is available for download only from www.crossroadsmusic.com.
A final note: Yes, it’s unfortunately true that not long after this sensational evening Teddy Huffam went home to be with the Lord.
