For those who miss REAL Southern Gospel Music (SGM) like I do, I am excited to tell you that “REAL Southern Gospel Music” is back at radio, and is coming to concert venues, and churches near you.
Today’s southern gospel music stylistically is wider than it’s ever been. Today’s music is very contemporary in its sound, its content, and even in its look. Sure, we still get to hear REAL Southern Gospel Music from some REAL SG artists like Greater Vision, Mark Trammell Quartet, Kingdom Heirs, and others. But there are many high-quality artists producing REAL SGM today that we never get to hear. Why? I don’t know. But it’s time for that to change!
In my travels as a preacher and a singer, I’m in front of SGM fans weekly. I also hear from my radio and Live with Les listeners daily. I hear things like, where did “real” SGM go? Or, I’ve stopped going to concerts because we no longer hear “real” SGM. I could go on and on. I am convinced there is a significant, disenfranchised fan base, that’s given up on SGM. They’ve stopped buying and they’ve stopped going!
I started praying about a place where these forgotten fans can feel at home at radio and in person. That’s when REAL Southern Gospel was birthed. Radio is the first of many phases for our REAL brand.
