First Presbyterian Church of Peachtree City will host the Ball Brothers in concert Sunday, May17 at 6:30 p.m. in the sanctuary. This is the final concert as part of the church’s 2008-2009 Concert Series season.

“Anyone who thinks a Christian young person is ‘missing out’ on something has obviously never met the Ball Brothers,” a spokesperson said. “These brothers — Andrew, Daniel, Josh, and Stephen — are young, exciting and love to have good time doing what God has called them to do.”

“We like to have fun!” says Daniel. “No one told us siblings couldn’t be best friends.” The bond these brothers have is an integral part of their unique musical blend.

“They showcase a creative confidence and intuitive grasp of harmony that would be rare in artists twice their age,” the spokesperson said.

Central Illinois, where the brothers grew up, is more known for flat farmland than singers. Yet at an early age, the Ball Brothers began practicing the beautiful harmonies that would catapult them into the spotlight.

When they began singing with their family, these young men entered into a strong tradition of family harmony groups in gospel music. However, The Ball Brothers bring their own youthful energy to these traditions, creating a style that encompasses all that is great about the family groups of the past with their own unique sensibilities.

“With their mix of new and old, The Ball brothers have great potential to appeal to a broad audience,” the spokesperson said. “They will surely attract young people with their exciting performances and older audiences will enjoy gospel harmony at its finest. No matter the age or musical preference, the Ball Brothers have a fresh sound that will appeal to everyone.”

In additional to wowing listeners with their music and expanding their musical horizons, the Ball Brothers say they take pride in living their lives practicing what they sing. They say they have a calling from God to see souls touched and people encouraged through their music.

“The Ball Brothers are introducing the newest, freshest music in Gospel Music,” states Brian Hudson of Showcase Management. “When I started managing the Martins over ten years ago, I thought that I would probably never find another group with as good of vocal blend ... I was wrong.”

The concert is free to the community. A love offering will be taken. Childcare will be available for children ages 4 and younger.

First Presbyterian Church is in Peachtree City at 206 Willowbend Rd. across from the library and city hall.
