David Sutton is a favorite of mine, but not a GC-style tenor, IMO. He fits perfectly with Triumphant though.

Brandon and I must share the same brain. (HaHa)
Exactly what I was thinking, Dan Keeton with Gold City.
I totally agree with his remarks about David Sutton. I’ll add this: I don’t think that David is as good of a tenor as he was, say, 10 years ago. time does play a role in voice quallity, no doubt about it.

Chapman does indeed sound more like Tim Riley than anyone I can think of. I can only imagine what GC would/could still be like with Steve, Jon, Danny, Jeff Chapman and a full band….

Wow… what a thought. Although, I too think Jerry martin would have been a better pick.

That’s a pretty good lineup Daniel.

I’m not to familiar on too many of these voices but I agree with wes about David Hester.

I’m trying to decide what I think about David Sutton. He can go pretty high sometimes but I’m not sure he has the consistancy for Gold City.

Since I have been evoked in these comments, I might as well post my thoughts. I agree with Brandon, you’ve hit every spot except tenor Daniel. I’ll also say Jerry Martin would most likely be the best fit. I don’t think David has the range to do it, but he is definitely a top notch tenor. Phillips is a good choice as well.

Bryan Hutson would be another good choice as lead, but I think Feemster is probably the best fit here.

David Hester would be a good second choice for the bass part.

David Sutton, I think, lacks consistency. Even when he was with the Kingdom Heirs, he would sound great one night and awful a couple of weeks later. He is the same way with Triumphant. Some concerts, he is out of this world. Other concerts, he’s good, but not great.

I was reaching a little with David. I wanted to give a couple of choices and with Eric unavailable, David was the only other one I could come up.

Maybe Dan Keeton would have been a better idea. I haven’t heard him a lot, but he’s good from the little I’ve heard. He even filled in for Gold City the week before Steve Ladd started (Jay had a death in the family).

Jerry Martin would be a great pick. I already had him spoken for in another yet-to-be-posted lineup, which is why I hadn’t put him here.

I have a hard time picturing David Sutton singing the super-high Gold City songs with the Jay Parrack endings, but I’m sure he could.

Jerry Martin from the Dove Brothers. David Sutton from Triumphant would also be a consideration.
