Two Thousand Twelve is here. We
thank God for allowing us to see this New Year. And, it is our continued prayer
that it is a blessed year for all.
Two Thousand Eleven was another year of 'ups and downs' in this genre.
There were many concerts featuring gospel quartet singers during 2011. If you
viewed the calendar of some of the major artists of the genre during 2011, you
noticed that they were singing somewhere almost every weekend. And, there were
countless anniversaries, banquets, and gathering featuring local and regional
gospel quartet singers; just take a look at the Program and Events' category of
the
QC Message Board.
Many gospel quartet groups released new CDs, and in some instances DVDs, last
year. Just take a look at Gloryland Gospel's Top 20 Chart. Major labels, small
labels and independents ensured that there was a continuous supply of new gospel
quartet music throughout the year.
Overall, 2011 was a good year for gospel quartet music. And, we look for greater
and better things to come from this genre during 2012.
