Quartet at Shellsford Baptist Friday

The Blackwood Gospel Quartet will appear in concert at Shellsford Baptist Church Friday at 7 p.m.

The quartet was formed in 1934 in the hills of Mississippi. The group sang in churches, on the radio and in school houses all around the state. Their dedication and effort to spread the gospel in song has left a great heritage and blessed the lives of many people. Since that early formation, the group has won countless awards, sang thousands of concerts, and appeared on many television shows.

The dedication of the members continues today through the hearts and lives of the Blackwood Gospel Quartet. The group is now based in Knoxville, and still sing the traditional close harmony quartet style music the Blackwoods are famous for.

Shellsford Baptist Church, where Philip Dougan is interim pastor, is located east of McMinnville at 121 Bottoms Road. Admission to the event is free, but a love offering will be taken at the end of the concert. Everyone is welcome.
