Susan Whisnant to Release Solo Project

Susan Whisnant to Release Solo Project

Susan Whisnant, one of the top female singers in Southern Gospel music, is set to release a new solo project. She told me during our recent conversation that the new solo project will be a "little different" then what we are used to. "Kind of like the Carpenters, but with a Southern edge", is how she described it to me.

I asked her if this indicated a possble solo career and she said absolutely not. "I do alot of women's conferences" she said, "This project is will help in that ministry as well as provide some great songs for everyone." She also did this because she had some songs that she wanted to sing that just didn't quite fit in with what the Whisnants do.

She promised us a copy of the CD. As soon as I get, it you can be sure thatI will share it on the air. You can check out the Whisnants at their website: www.whisnants.com

Also make sure you tune into He's Alive Radio to hear their brand new single, "A Greater Yes".

It's a Blizzard!

Well Maybe Not......

It's white outside! The first real snow of the year and with it school delays and cancellations. FYI, I'll try to give you the latest school delays and cancellations every ten minutes between 6 - 7:30. I hope that that helps.

Crabb Family Making a Surprise Stop

I just got off of the telephone with Pastor Stevie Leydig from the Hyndman Ministry Center and the Crabb Family is going to be stopping by this coming Sunday, January 14th at 7:00pm. It is going to be fantastic! They were there this past summer and sang and ministered for almost four 1/2 hours - it was tremendous!

I will be there and I hope that you can make it as well. Give them a call at 814-767-9100. This is the last year that the Crabb family will be touring together and might be your last chance to see them in this area.

Stop by and say hello to me and the rest of the He's Alive Radio Staff.
