Here’s a video of us singing The Easter Song.

The previous year to this concert, we had adopted the regular use of recorded vocal tracks (of our own voices) to supplement our concerts. I remember striving for an orchestral-strings sound for the verses of The Easter Song.

Join us for Acappella’s 30th Anniversary June 30 – July 3, 2012 in Nashville, Tennessee. Rodney and I will be singing the opening night, June 30, with Acappella Classic at 7:00 P.M. in Collins Alumni Auditorium.

I sure hope you can join us for our 30th Anniversary, June 30 – July 3 in Nashville, TN at Lipscomb University. There will be many concerts as well as some outstanding congregational singing.

Join us for the 30th Anniversary reunion, June 30 – July 3, 2012 in Nashville, TN.

As some of you know, I love to write Scripture songs. Understanding that rejection can be intensely stressful, we can only imagine the pain that Jesus felt as he wept over Jerusalem.  Check out the video here.

“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem

You who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you

How often I have longed to gather your children together

As a hen gathers her chicks under her wings

But you were not willing . . .”

Because of the resurrection, we have so much to celebrate. I absolutely love this song and feel that it’s worth the trip to Music City for ACAFEST. Check out the video here.

This is a friendly “battle of the bands” segment during the song, “Everybody Said But Nobody Did.”

Acappella and Acappella Classic will be featured in the kick-off concert, June 30, 7 PM in Collins Alumni Auditorium, Lipscomb University, Nashville, TN for Acappella’s 30th Anniversary Celebration.  The celebration continues June 30 – July 3.

Check out this concert video of Acappella Classic singing “He Gave Her Water.”

Here’s some background on this clip, taken during the Amarillo concert on April 13 of this year. I believe the singers had more fun than the audience, and the audience had a great time!

Being a tenor, we always have a laugh about how I attempt to sing bass. I’ve found many high tenors wish they could sing low, while many basses wish to sing high. (Isn’t that human nature?) During the opening of the song, “He Gave Her Water,” I was playing around with humming the lowest notes in my range directly into the microphone. Spontaneously, and unbeknownst to me, Rodney Britt threw in an ultra deep bass note,  surprising me and giving the illusion that I can actually sing bass.  This reminds me of the television commercial of the young child dressed as Darth Vader, who was stunned when the automobile magically turns on at the exact moment of his playful, mind control.

During our 30-year history, we’ve been blessed by the talents of many Christian vocalists. The reunion concerts will be a time of sweet fellowship and great memories. Join us for this series of concerts in Nashville, featuring Acappella, Acappella Classic, Durant, The Vocal Union, New Life Quartet, The Lancasters and AVB. Are you on a budget and need housing?

Luke 19:10 says, “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” Our concert celebrates another biblical doctrine from 1 Peter 2:9-11 Contemporary English Version (CEV):

^{9 “}But you are God’s chosen and special people. You are a group of royal priests and a holy nation. God has brought you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Now you must tell all the wonderful things that he has done. The Scriptures say,

This April 13th concert served as a great warm-up for the 30th anniversary celebrations, June 30 – July 5 in Nashville, TN. Hope you will join us for this special reunion time in Tennessee.
