This recording features the solid four-part harmony you've come to expect from the Carolina Quartet.

Introducing the Carolina Quartet . . .
Long-time friends Scott Whitener and Chris Roberts have announced the formation of the Carolina Quartet (www.carolinaquartet.com), beginning a new chapter in their 10-plus-years musical collaboration that began with the Melody Masters Quartet in the mid-1990s and continued with MMQ Reunion concerts through 2005. The quartet will perform concerts on a limited schedule throughout the year, featuring appearances at churches, denominational and civic events, banquets, and private functions.

Regarding the name change, Chris states, “The name is a clear reflection of who we are and who our main audience will be. We are ‘Carolinians,’ and our primary audience will be listeners throughout North and South Carolina.” Scott adds, “There was a Carolina Quartet established in the greater Asheville, NC area decades ago. With the Kingsmen Quartet (formerly the Carolina Boys) clearly re-established and doing so well, we felt it was time to re-establish the Carolina Quartet as a regional group.” While the vast majority of the quartet’s appearances will be in the Carolinas, they will not limit their touring geographically and plan to make limited appearances in other southeastern states.

As with the MMQ, the sound of the CQ will continue to be defined by the outstanding and recognizable lead voice of Scott Whitener, Minister of Music and Administration at Ragan Wesleyan Church in Gastonia, NC. Singing tenor will be Chris Roberts, Associate Pastor of Music at the 3,000-member Mud Creek Baptist Church (www.mudcreekchurch.org) in Hendersonville, NC, where he serves with prominent Southern Baptist leader and Senior Pastor Dr. Greg Mathis. Joining Scott and Chris will be the familiar voice of baritone and Chesnee, SC resident Roger Burnett, who sang with the Melody Masters from the early 1990s. Making his debut with gospel music audiences will be bass singer Lamar Levi of Tuxedo, NC, whose smooth and rich bass voice provides the foundation of the CQ sound. David Bruce Murray, Minister of Music at Corinth Baptist Church in Ellenboro, NC, will also be making limited appearances with the Carolina Quartet. David has performed with regional level groups since the mid-1980s and is already an established name with Southern Gospel fans as the author of Murray’s Encyclopedia Of Southern Gospel Music (www.musicscribe.com).

The CQ plans to release a project of southern and country gospel classics in the fall of 2006. A complete list of the Carolina Quartet’s limited touring schedule, product information, bios, and additional information will be available soon at www.carolinaquartet.com.
