We’ll visit with Karen Peck & New River as our Featured Artists on this program, with songs from their new Reach Out CD. You’ll find out why that album title is so appropriate. And you’ll hear why their current radio hit, On The Banks Of The Promised Land, was a last-minute addition to their recording. Jeff Hawes will explain why their song, Don’t Worry About The Waves, became such a personal one for him. And Karen will tell you about a new movie in which she’ll be appearing.
Paul also features a special “songwriter” segment with three songs written or co-written by Rodney Griffin. He’ll explain what inspired the songs, recorded by three different groups.
Other guests include Brian and Lauren Alvey, Debra and Roger (of the Talleys), Mark Trammell (Mark Trammell Quartet), and Mark Bishop.
Finally … Paul remembers the late Charles Burke.

Paul’s Featured Artists on the edition for the weekend of October 1st are the Martins —Jonathan, Joyce and Judy. After singing together for many years, these siblings began solo ministries some years ago. But now they’re back together. On this program they’ll share some of their new songs from their first CD since reuniting on the road, appropriately entitled New Day. As a bonus, you’ll hear their very first Singing News charting song from nearly two decades ago.
And, in his Artist Spotlight … a visit with Freedom, a trio comprised of Josh Garner (known from his days with the Florida Boys and other groups), John Rulapaugh (known from the Dove Brothers and other groups) and their newest member, Alan Kendall. They’ll share three songs from their current CD entitled Feedom.” And they’ll tell you about the special focus of their musical ministry these days.
