We had a busy week at the 2025 National Quartet Convention in Pigeon Forge, TN. The REAL Southern Gospel booth was all a-buzz with excitement as both Les Butler and Gregg Hutchins conducted interviews with many of the top artists in Southern Gospel Music. The Williamsons and the Inspirationals Quartet of Texas sang on the NQC Main Stage while Les Butler played on Main Stage for Jeff & Sheri Easter. Several of our label artists were also featured in the NQC Artist Showcases throughout the week.
The REAL Southern Gospel booth also offered visitors the opportunity to sign a personal card to the family of Charlie Kirk, and we are humbled and excited to say that hundreds of cards were signed and will be delivered to the Kirk family!
On Thursday morning, we hosted a REAL Southern Gospel Get Together at Skyland Ranch. It was a time for the contest winners and fans of REAL Southern Gospel to meet our DJs and staff while enjoying the beautiful scenery and fun attractions.
We are already making plans for next year's event -stay tuned!
We had a lot of fun interviewing the Inspirations Qt AND the Inspirationals Qt of Texas at the same time!
It's always an honor talking with the Chuck Wagon Gang- we hope you enjoyed their interview!
Phil Cross & Poet Voices received a certificate for their #1 song, "Hit the Altar," and had a little fun with Les during their interview.
