Gospel group to pass thru Friday
|
The-seven member band has been together since 1988. In the last 20 years, the band has combined country with gospel to make a unique sound that is uplifting.
Ken Youngblood sings lead and plays acoustic guitar; Rick Howard is on lead guitar; Gary Argo is on keyboard; Jeremy James is on drums; Mike James is on steel guitar; Scott LeDuc is on bass guitar; and Judy Argo is a backup singer.
‘Basically it’s country music with gospel lyrics,’ said Youngblood. ‘It will be uplifting music that is thought provoking regarding their walk with God.’
While Just Passn’ Thru stops at the summer concert series, the band will be offering a fun time for all, according to Youngblood.
‘We try and have fun with what we’re doing,’ said Youngblood. ‘We want people to enjoy themselves and have fun with it. There will be some serious stuff but we aren’t going to bring people down.’
Among the songs the band is scheduled to play is ‘Is It True,’ ‘Jesus,’ and a single release called ‘The Long Haul.’ The band will also perform medley songs like ‘Let’s All Go Down to the River.’
Over the last 20 years, the band has played with Marshall Tucker Band, Charlie Daniels Band, Porter Wagoner and Collin Raye. They were also asked to play with Johnny Cash’s sister, Joanna Cash Yates, during a show she performed.
Just Passn’ Thru will take the stage and begin entertaining at 7 p.m. on the West Lawn of Security Federal. Food and beverage vendors are open at 6 p.m.
The event is free and sponsored by Dr Pepper, River Park Hospital, the Law Offices of Galligan and Newman, Ben Lomand TV, Clear Channel Radio and the Southern Standard, your source for local news.
