The New York City gospel music
scene has included for several years now
HEARTSONG as part of the very fabric it's woven with. Although New England
may take a stance that it is predominately Christian rock, this country duo
has
easily infiltrated all of the rock boundaries and has sustained a stellular
regional
appeal. It's the way they sing their songs. The delivery is unique and the
voices
are soothing and easy to listen to. The ministering messages of Heartsong's
original music get into your spirit quickly. It doesn't take long before one
can get
'hooked' on those repetitive choruses and the message gets stuck in the heart!
Patti Dahl, contralto lead is a mid-westerner from Wisconsin and Sherry
Sarandrea,
who sings the tenor harmony is a Connecticut gal. Most Nashville folks would
scratch
their heads in confusion how the blend of these two improbable matches could
sing
country gospel music in New York.
Heartsong's territory is expanding
quickly beyond regional borders. They have been on
TBN, The Praise the Lord Show, a few times sharing their music and ministry.
Their
original music can be heard on over 300 country radio stations throughout the
world.
Although in New England a Christian country duo is rare, they have gained
amazing
popularity since 1999. They have completed several original projects with a
radical,
versatile repertoire in a 'progressive country' sound. Their lyrics appeal
to mainstream
country audiences as well because they sing about problems common to man...but
with
the solution of our LORD JESUS CHRIST.
Here are the reasons why churches and
Christian organizations are booking HEARTSONG Singers for Christ for their
outreaches over and over again:
HEARTSONG is an effective tool for evangelistic
efforts. They not only sing the word of God, but also tell
testimony and flow in the word of knowledge, wisdom and prophecy.
Every person in the group has a personal
relationship with Jesus Christ.
HEARTSONG as a ministry has integrity. They
pursue a standard of excellence in
professionalism, on a personal level, as well as on a spiritual one.
The "witness" approach of HEARTSONG is able to take their strong musical vocals
of the gospel into the community. They
combine and package the gospel into an entertainment
format making it possible to function well outside church walls.
The personal testimonies equip them to minister effectively in a worship
service, entertain for a church event, and
enhance women's conferences and community outreach.
They can be seen on TBN, at large theme parks such as Six Flags, major fairs
and
festivals, churches, Christian coffee houses, American Cancer Society relays,
and a host of other non-Christian events.
