Paul’s Featured Artists for the weekend of 9/1 broadcast … Canton Junction, the exciting new quartet that’s an outgrowth of the music ministry at Pastor John Hagee’s Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Texas. But, for a church quartet, it’s unusual in that you probably already know the names of the group’s members — Matt Hagee, Aaron Crabb, Michael Sykes and Tim Duncan. With that kind of lineup you know it has to be good. We’ll talk with all four members and hear five songs from their debut CD, including one that Aaron wrote.

Other guests on the program include Scott Fowler (Legacy Five); Larry Ford; Phil Collingsworth (Collingsworth Family); and Ben Harris (Southern Sound).

Finally … on the headline update . . . the bass singer shuffle continues.

And, his Artist Spotlight guests on this program are the Torchmen from Ontario. He’ll chat with Mike Moran of the group and you’ll hear some of their latest songs. Mike will tell you what it’s like being a “Southern Gospel quartet” north of the border!

Plus … Sunday, August 19th, will be one of Paul’s thrice-yearly Listener Favorite Call-In opportunities. Listen for details, or get them now on this page. See information on that page about pre-registering. Pre-registering is not necessary, but it would make it easier when you call.
