Carolina The Band, Triumphant Quartet & The Inspirations

Energetic performances, great songs, clean vocals, enthusiasm, and a true love for the people they sing for are ingredients of a professional music group that can be attributed to only a few out there. Carolina The Band is one of those few.

Triumphant Quartet: Triumphant Quartet is a quintessential act in the gospel music industry. Consistently voted a fan favorite, the group has garnered multiple chart-topping hits, as well as Dove, Singing News and BMI Awards, including numerous Quartet of the Year honors. Perhaps most remarkably of all, the StowTown Records group has become a household name without experiencing any lineup changes over the past two decades. Now, as Sean Barber replaces original member Scotty Inman, Triumphant Quartet opens a new chapter of music, faith, and friendship as — together with Barber — founding members David Sutton, Eric Bennett, and Clayton Inman enter the next decade of ministry.

The Inspirations: Martin Cook, a former piano player for the Kingsmen and a chemistry teacher at Swain High School in Bryson City, North Carolina, formed the Inspirations in 1964. The 1970s saw the Inspirations rise to national attention with a number of hit songs. The Inspirations continued to present concerts with a traditional style and a conservative image in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. Songs like “Cry For The Children” and “We Need To Thank God” resounded strongly with Christian conservatives and fans of traditional gospel music.
