According to this Louisville Courier-Journal article, the NQC Board of Directors has rejected a competitive bid from Indianapolis and signed a contract to keep the National Quartet Convention in Louisville through 2014. NQC Executive Vice President Clarke Beasley said that “a strong consensus” of...Liberty Quartet to appear on NQC Mainstage

Occasionally I will come across one strong enough that I think, “This group belongs on the mainstage at the National Quartet Convention.” I can remember thinking that about the Collingsworth Family, the...DVD Review: NQC Live Vol. 9

Would such a move affect your plans to...

Apparently (as I hear) at the urging of Blackwood Brothers bass singer Randy Byrd, my fellow blogger Aaron Swain put together an impromptu Southern Gospel Bloggers Quartet....NQC Thoughts: Booths being torn down early
