National singing group "Spoken 4" will be in concert at Fort Meade's United Methodist Church on Saturday, Feb. 4.
Fort Meade music lovers will be in for a treat next month when a national gospel quartet — even though they are actually a “fivesome” — visits First United Methodist Church.
The Spoken 4 Quartet from Branson, Mo., is made up of some of the finest talent in Christian music. Co-owners of the group, Jon Charles Taggart (lead), originally from West Point, Miss., and Cecil Stringer (bass), originally from Jackson, Miss., have a heart for the ministry and believe the group should live the life they sing about and always hold each other accountable.
Their music ministry is a mission, and they feel called by God to share the Gospel through music. They both have sung in other groups over the years and when forming Spoken 4 brought with them Jeremy Wilkerson, baritone, originally from Blytheville, Ark. Wilkerson recently wrote a new song, “Sweet Reunion,” and Spoken 4 recorded it live in Council Bluffs, Iowa.
The three sang together for several years, and the Lord led them to Brandon Britton, tenor, originally from Warrensville, S.C., they said. Britton brings with him writing talent as well. His new song “Rise, Get Up” is on the live CD.
J. D. Miller from Lexington, Ky., completes the group. Miller is an arranger and pianist who has a heart for missions.
Miller played with the Gaither Vocal Band for 13 years and co-wrote several songs with Bill and Gloria Gaither.
The concert will be at 7 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 4, at the church at 135 W. Broadway.
