This morning, the Inspirations Quartet of Bryson City, NC announced the addition of multi-Grammy and Dove Award-winning artist Guy Penrod as their new lead singer. Penrod, who left the Gaither Vocal Band last year after over a decade with the group, had been at work on a solo recording; he will be doing some solo dates on days the Inspirations are not booked.
“His voice and contagious joy will be a blessing to our audiences,” said Inspirations pianist and manager Martin Cook, who added that Penrod graciously agreed to cut his hair in accordance with the group’s code of conduct. “And his passion for the Lord and for the Word of God will make him a welcome addition to the Inspirations family.”

When I posted that Guy Penrod was leaving the Gaither Vocal Band, you asked if it was April 1. Today it really is April 1.
I was serious then, but today…yes, I’m kidding.
