Kyle here. With the recent announcement of the Mark Trammell Quartet officially making their current music available to streaming platforms, I thought it might be worth revisiting an article I wrote a few years ago where I crunched the numbers between streaming payouts vs physical media (CD's, vinyl, etc.). While the numbers may be a little different now, the concept is still the same.

Spotify’s current pay rate per stream is around $0.006 per complete play. The average cost of a CD is $12 with around 10 songs per CD (or $1.20 per song). So one CD purchase is worth 200 albu…

NQC 2023 has begun!

25/09/2023

Kingdom Heirs announced yesterday at NQC that Chris Bryant will take over lead singer duties from the departing Loren Harris.

For Immediate Release:

We are excited to announce the addition of Chris Bryant to the lead vocal position for The Kingdom Heirs. Chris will be joining Andy Stringfield, Joshua Horrell, and Brad Smith to complete a very talented and energetic front row of vocalists.

Chris has been very kind and committed to The Kingdom Heirs by offering his time and talent when much needed. He and his wife Rachel will not be required to relocate as they currently make their home in East Tennessee.

Kingdom Heirs owner Kreis French stated “God has been so faithful to our group with the unexpected changes we’ve experienced over the recent months, please continue to pray as we begin another chapter. “

We know you will join us in welcoming Chris to The Kingdom Heir family and we look forward to the great things God has planned for us.

In addition to performing at Dollywood, Chris will be honoring select dates in his solo ministry for the remainder of 2023.

The Kingdom Heirs thank you for your support during the recent transitions and we are excited for you to share in our ministry.

Please take a moment to read Chris’s official statement that follows.

We love you and God bless you all!

The Kingdom Heirs

“I am incredibly blessed and thankful for the opportunity to stand beside some of the finest and most talented men in Christian music. This is truly a dream come true for me. The Kingdom Heirs have always been one of my favorite artists and being able to stand in the lead position which has been filled by two of the greatest voices in Southern Gospel music (Arthur Rice and Loren Harris) is truly an honor! God has opened this door and given me and my wife so much peace that this is where I am meant to be and I look forward to a great future with The Kingdom Heirs!”

Changes and additions for Anthem Edition

Anthem Edition Welcomes New Members

Nashville, TN (September 25, 2023) – Anthem Edition is proud to announce the addition of several new members to their ministry team.

A new face to the industry, Cameron Edens will be filling the tenor position for Anthem Edition beginning in November. Hailing from South Carolina, Cameron has been a long-time fan of Southern Gospel music, and is excited to join the ranks of quartet musicians. “I spent my childhood traveling with my dad while he was singing in Southern Gospel quartets,” comments Cameron Edens. “I have always had a love for the music, and began singing close to ten years ago. Throughout the years, I have felt the call to use the abilities that God has blessed me with to a fuller extent. I appreciate the opportunity to join Anthem Edition and am excited to see what God has in store!”

With this addition, Anthem Edition is also announcing the departure of veteran vocalist Steve Ladd. Steve has been an integral part of the fan-favorite quartet for several years, but has recently felt led to return into his solo ministry moving forward. The group is abundantly grateful for Steve’s contributions and wishes him the very best in the future!

Anthem Edition is also excited to introduce Joshua Stone as their new pianist. This young man began playing piano at the age of four, and credits Anthem Edition with inspiring him in Gospel music. “I remember being a 9-year-old boy, sitting in a pew with my grandparents watching Anthem Edition (then known as Old Paths) perform at a small country church in South Georgia, and thinking, ‘Wow, I wish I could do that one day!’” shares Joshua Stone. “I have always had a love and passion for Southern Gospel music from a very early age, so to have this God-given opportunity to join this amazing group of people is an understatement. I am forever grateful to God, as well as Anthem Edition, and I pray above all else that God continues to bless and guide me on this path. It is truly a dream come true.”

A vital component of any concert event is the ability to create an enjoyable experience for the audience, and while this position is largely behind-the-scenes, the group is proud to welcome Sean Chapman as their new sound engineer. While Southern Gospel fans may not be familiar with Sean, most will recognize his father, Jeff Chapman, as one of the predominant bass singers in the genre.

Anthem Edition has long held a reputation of introducing new, up-and-coming talent to the genre of Southern Gospel, and these additions promise to follow suit. The quartet is excited about the future and anxious to get started on new music with the support of Sonlite Records, and look forward to many more opportunities to continue in their mission to reach the lost for Christ, and encourage the believer in their daily walk.

Prayers for the family Mylon LeFevre leaves behind.

Mylon Le Fevre
10-6-44 to 9-8-23

“Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.” I Timothy‬ ‭6‬:‭12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

My precious, strong and courageous husband laid hold of eternal life last night.

When we discussed heaven through the years, Mylon was most excited about receiving the soul winner's crown. With his contemporary Christian rock band, Mylon and Broken Heart, he had the privilege of leading over 250,000 youth to Jesus. He cherished all the years of music ministry and the countless lives touched through his songs but his greatest joy was teaching the Word of God, especially through our broadcast, On the Road to Freedom. (This pic was his fave spot.)

Throughout the last years of this intense non-stop battle, never once did I hear him falter in his good confession of faith. In every broadcast and church service, many witnesses can attest to his bold declaration: JESUS IS MY HEALER.

Until his very last breath he fought the good fight of faith. He finished his race. He kept the faith. II Timothy 4:7

My honey, we discussed many times how we both daily answered the call for the holy affirmation that I know you are now hearing,

“Well done good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of your Lord.”

My love, you are finally enjoying in this moment what you affectionately referred to as “the first day of forever.”

It has been my highest honor and privilege for God to trust me with you these past 25 years.

All my love, Christi
