KINGSPORT, TN (Press Release) - The Beene Family, from
Kingsport, Tenn., who recently celebrated a decade in their music
ministry, announced today a plan to reorganize their tour schedule
to include a significant cutback.
Brothers, Shandon, Landon and Brandon Beene and
Brandon's wife Chrysta have spent the last ten years
establishing themselves in the Southern Gospel music field by
singing approximately 175 concert dates a year. The majority of
their schedule has focused largely on the church market across the
country and heavily on the West Coast.
The revised tour schedule is effective July 1, 2008, and will limit
the talented and well-respected family to a maximum of 100 concert
dates a year. Seventy five percent of those dates will be dedicated
to current and past relationships with church and concert promoters
while twenty five percent of the dates will remain available to
accommodate future growth.
Landon Beene, who also owns and operates Tribute Media
Source, states, "Our focus for the future is to continue to
maximize the growth of our music, the focus of our ministry and
protect the health of our family life. The reorganization of our
tour schedule has been in the planning stages for over a year, and
we hope (it) will promote the longevity of the Beene Family
well into tomorrow. This is the future of our genre of music."

Triumphant Quartet at Carnegie Hall
American Gospel Music is a new emerging genre within the
fabric of American musical culture. American Gospel Music brings
together the very best of traditional southern gospel, black
gospel, and contemporary gospel. The selections and groups
chosen for the performance at Carnegie Hall, New York City, New
York on Friday evening November 23, 2007 are reflective of the
total scope of American Gospel Music. Babbie Mason gave voice to
sounds within the Black-gospel heritage. The contemporary voice
was heard from The Imperials.
Traditional Southern Gospel was voiced by the TRIUMPHANT
QUARTET representing the traditional sounds in such selections as
When Morning Sweeps the Eastern Sky, Rock Bottom, Delivered Again,
The Great I Am Still Is, and Terrible Time/Wonderful Time.
The Quartet is comprised of five gentlemen who are very
experienced in singing gospel harmony. Eric Bennett, Jeff Stice,
David Sutton, Clayton Inman, & Scott Inman
Jeff Stice brought the audience to their feet, playing his own
arrangement of the traditional song Joshua Fit the Battle along
with The American Festival Symphony Orchestra, conducted by the
dynamic world renowned maestro Eric Dale Knapp. Mr. Knapp
will lead the Olympic Festival Orchestra and Chorus in a concert
July 2008 in Beijing Olympics
Jeff Stice accompanied Babbie Mason and the 200 voice choir on
many of the selections.
Triumphant joined with Babbie Mason & the Imperials on the
opening number Come on Into the House and the Finale Jerusalem.
Triumphant Quartet was much honored to be a part of this
magnificent concert at Carnegie Hall. We wish to thank Christian
Music Presenters Nashville, TN for all the labor that went into
this past week, and in making the concert at Carnegie Hall a great
success.
Comments from those in attendance:
The fusion of Southern Gospel music with Black-Gospel was
masterfully orchestrated by Christian Music Presenters at the
Carnegie Hall premier concert of American Gospel Music. The
audience was electrified by the artistry of Babbie Mason,
Triumphant Quartet, and The Imperials while being inspired by the
American Festival Symphony and the 200 voice Chorale. Carnegies
performance gives evidence that the vision of American Gospel
Music will take root within the fabric of the American culture.
Nyhl Henson, Founder - MTV Networks and former CEO of Country
Music Television
Founder - Social Music TV.Com
If you believe, as I do, that every stage has a memory of the
music performed there. Then Carnegie Hall is a better and holier
place because of the American Gospel Music Concert.
Congratulations on an exquisite evening of Gospel Music. I am very
happy to have been able to attend.
