It all started on 8th street in Sapulpa, Oklahoma at a little church called Pentecostal Mission. Jonathan Thompson, Ivan and Byron Hughart grew up learning about Jesus and singing together. They have been singing as a trio since 2017. ​ Their mission is simple - Take the Message of Jesus Christ to everyone they reach with their music ministry; and see those same people walk away forever changed by the mercy of God. 8th Street made their main stage debut at NQC 2023 after winning their artist showcase and winning again in 2025!

Since 1982, he has been at the forefront of Christian music since first joining Gold City Quartet, then moving on to form his own group. Christian music has always been Brian’s first love, and fans have responded to his music by honoring him and the group at the Dove Awards for Southern Gospel Performance of the Year, “Say Amen,” in 2014 as well as “Long As I Got King Jesus” in 2006. Brian Free and Assurance has also made a number of notable television appearances, including TBN, Gospel Music Channel, Prime Time Country (TNN), Hee Haw (CBS), The “Today Show” (NBC), 27 of the “Gaither Video” series. In the summer of 2014, BFA was chosen by BBC to represent Elvis Presley’s love of Gospel Music on That’s Alright Mama, a Tribute to Elvis Presley with his arrangement of Peace In The Valley.These accolades show the consistent response to BFA’s music, how God has used them, and how he will continue to use them. While the guys all come from different backgrounds, they all agree on one thing, and that is to use their God-given abilities to take the message of Jesus Christ to everyone they can.

The mission of Brian Free and Assurance is to lift up Jesus Christ through their music, see souls come to know the Lord as Savior and be an encouragement to Believers across the nation and abroad. They believe in helping others grow in their walk with the Lord by forming exhorting relationships with their fans and investing in them at concerts. Everything is done for the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. Brian, Bill and Jake are passionate about their calling and they are unashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Billy Walker is a Christian artist with a voice as powerful as his passion for the Gospel. With over 34 years in full-time music ministry, he has dedicated his life to sharing the hope, redemption, and salvation found in Jesus Christ. From singing at just two and a half years old to leading The Walkers, his family group, for more than three decades, Billy has never wavered in his calling.

Now in his solo ministry, Billy blends the rich tradition of Southern Gospel with a fresh, contemporary sound that reaches every generation. Audiences are consistently moved by his strong, distinctive vocals and the joy and sincerity he brings to every stage. Known for heartfelt worship, dynamic energy, and moments of humor and real life connection, Billy has a unique gift for drawing people in and pointing them to Jesus.

Whether leading a room in worship or sharing stories of faith, Billy is the same offstage as he is on stage, genuine, grounded, and fully committed to the Kingdom. Alongside his wife and son, he travels the country with one mission: to see lives changed by the message of Christ. Faithful, focused, and full of life, Billy Walker is more than a singer, he’s a messenger with a mission.

Billy was born and raised in Perry, FL (Taylor County), and splits his time between Perry and Nashville, TN, with his wife, Angela, and their son, Tripp.

When that is combined with pure talent and a servant’s heart for people, you have the incomparable ministry of The Erwins.  The Erwins started singing as soon as they were each able to talk. Appearing at over 270 dates a year with their father, who has been in full-time evangelism for nearly 50 years, they have been traveling full-time their entire life singing in concerts, revivals, and conferences all across the country.

Three of the four siblings, Keith, Kody, and Kris performed as a trio until 2013, when the group announced that their little sister, Katie, would be joining the group full-time on stage officially making them a Mixed Group. 

It is with prayer, determination, and focus that The Erwins are blazing new trails in Southern Gospel, proving to their industry peers and fans alike, that the future of Southern Gospel music is, in fact, secure with a young group like The Erwins.

“Singing is all we know and all we want to do. It's our life and our joy to serve the Lord with the voices He has given us. We will gladly go through any door He chooses to open, no matter how big or small. We know the Lord doesn't need us, but He chooses to use us, and for that we are thankful.” Keith Erwin, Lead

Since 1980, gospel music fans worldwide have been in love with the trend-setting style of Gold City. From their inception, this quartet’s goal has been to use the musical gifts the Lord has given them in the best way they know how—to honor God, share the gospel message, witness to the lost and encourage the saved.

With 10 number one songs, multiple radio hits, and numerous industry accolades, this Dove Award-winning quartet has achieved legendary status. With number one songs in each of the past four decades and over 60 Singing News Fan Awards to their credit, their career continues to be one that is celebrated, respected, and relevant in today’s musical scene. Historically, they have introduced some of the most important songs to all of gospel music, including I’m Not Giving Up, It’s Still The Cross, When I Get Carried Away, and their signature song, Midnight Cry. They had the number one radio chart single in 2019 as noted by Singing News Magazine, All My Hope. In 2017, Gold City was inducted into the Gospel Music Association Hall of Fame, forever solidifying what thousands of loyal gospel music followers already know—Gold City will forever be the standard of excellence for gospel quartets. 

At the helm of Gold City is Danny Riley. His outstanding baritone voice, emcee ability and leadership make up the foundation of this quartet that is carrying on the legacy established by his father, Hall of Fame bass vocalist Tim Riley. Joining Danny in the present-day group lineup are three seasoned veterans who, like Danny, all grew up loving Gold City and hoping to one day sing in this stellar quartet. They bring with them a passion for Jesus and this music, along with their outstanding vocal abilities. Josh Feemster brings a powerful lead vocal to this group, as well as a stage energy that is infectious and exciting. Chris Jenkins’ tenor voice is well recognized as one of the best in the industry. His love for this music is felt in every note he sings. Jeff Chapman studied with the aforementioned Tim Riley and his legendary voice puts the finishing touches on this quartet’s amazing sound. The four vocalists are joined by Terry Wooten on keyboard, who accompanies these singers with his tasteful piano work, complimenting the vocals with just the right touch. 

As Gold City moves into the future, it is clear this group is in good hands and good voices, as folks everywhere are discovering night after night. The hit songs, the outstanding vocals, and the class and professionalism that have always been still are, unmistakably, Gold City.

The Shirah Brothers (est. 2019), originally made up of three brothers Aaron, Jake and Josh Shirah, shared a love for singing Southern Gospel music. Growing up as members of the Royal City Family Ministries, Southern Gospel music is no stranger to these three. They have performed all over the country and at venues such as the National Quartet Convention (TN), Singing in the Sun (SC) the Ark Encounter (KY), Dollywood (TN) and even at Elvis Presley’s Graceland in Memphis (TN) where they had the honor of being the first Southern Gospel group to be asked to sing there. 

In January of 2024 Aaron made the decision to come off the road to focus on his young family and in May of that year, Samuel McIntyre joined the Shirah Brothers as their new baritone. The new dynamic sound has captured the hearts of audiences everywhere and the journey is just getting started! 

Jake, Josh, and Samuel, are excited and blessed to have the opportunity to share God's Word through music. Their desire is to glorify God through the gifts he has given them and spread the gospel message of hope, grace, redemption and the love of Christ to as many people as possible.

In the tapestry of life, stories captivate us—tales of triumph, tragedy, and the human journey, marked by disappointments and discoveries, regrets and redemption. This is our story, a collective narrative. But in the soul-stirring melodies of Steve Ladd and his latest masterpiece, “Come Up Clean,” it transcends the realm of mere storytelling; it’s a testimony—a testament of grace and resilience that he ardently wishes to share with you.

From the tender age of five, growing up in Dayton, Ohio, Steve felt the divine call to minister through song. The son of an evangelist, Steve matured to become a beloved member of America’s most acclaimed Christian music groups, including Gold City, The Anchormen, and Anthem Edition. For over a decade, Steve has journeyed both domestically and internationally, ministering to audiences with inspirational songs like “Come Sunday Morning,” “One More River,” and “Preach the Word.” These harmonious melodies have transformed into personal anthems of encouragement that Steve carries wherever he goes, as he testifies to lives touched, healed, and uplifted.

On a personal note, Steve’s latest musical journey reflects his pursuit of freedom in recent years. It’s a powerhouse of music that transcends genres, a resonating harmony for all tastes. Professionally, he stands tall with accolades—the Gospel Music Association Hall of Fame, a “New Artist of the Year” nomination, a chart-topping Number One Single featuring the incomparable Jason Crabb, and a stellar record of seven Top 40 Singles. On release day, his album ascended to the elite Top 20 chart for iTunes Christian music. Furthermore, Steve’s heart extends to partnership with Childfund International, exemplifying the fusion of music and purpose.

While his extraordinary journey began within his family and burgeoned through award-winning quartets, his reemergence as a solo artist has been a testament to the Lord’s unwavering faithfulness. It radiates in his wife Maegan, his daily walk, and the very essence of his life. Steve Ladd’s odyssey is more than just a story; it’s a symphony of faith, resilience, and the power of testimony.

About EUMC's Concert Outreach Ministry Fund

We are gratefully accepting donations to the Concert Outreach Ministry Fund to enable Epworth  to continue to offer concerts by nationally known artists on a regular basis.  The purpose of this ministry is multifold. It will serve as an outreach for the community, provide people who aren’t able to travel distances the opportunity to experience high caliber concerts locally, and most importantly help establish or strengthen their relationship with Christ.  

The costs of hosting the concerts can be expensive as these artists have high travel expenses and for many this is their only source of income for their families.   The Fund allows us to help outset the fees involved with hosting the concerts.  Many artists require a minimum honorarium amount, but our goal is to bring the concerts to you at the lowest cost possible.  

Donations made to the Concert Outreach Ministry Fund are eligible for receipts for charitable giving.
