Gospel music legends Mark Lowry and The Martins are on the road together, and they are coming to Bethel Assem- bly of God in Red Bluff at 7 p.m. Thursday, June 18. "It's a lifelong dream," says Lowry about tour- ing with The Martins. "We have had a great time tour- ing together, and I love get- ting to hear The Martins sing every night. I'm their biggest fan." The history between Lowry and sibling trio Joyce, Jonathan and Judy Martin spans more than two decades and can be traced back to a cassette tape The Mar- tins gave him at a na- tional convention in 1992. Lowry and fellow Gaither Vocal Band-mate Michael English were so impressed they insisted Gloria Gaither listen to an impromptu au- dition of the group, which they held in the women's re- stroom. Gloria then told husband Bill and the rest is history as the Gaithers helped in- troduce The Martins to the world. Since that introduc- tion, honors and acco- lades have been awarded to both Lowry and The Martins. The Martins have en- joyed numerous Dove Award and Grammy nom- inations, including the 2015 Grammy nomination for their latest recording, A Cappella. Most recently, the popular trio enjoyed being a part of the Gospel Music Association Honors Ceremony when they cel- ebrated the induction of Lowry into the GMA Hall of Fame. Renowned pianist Stan Whitmire will accompany Lowry and The Martins on this tour, and accord- ing to Lowry, fans can expect a little of every- thing during this special evening. "We mix it up quite a bit," Lowry said. "The Martins and I sing to- gether. I kick Jonathan out and sing with just the sisters on a couple songs. We have so much fun." This exciting musi- cal event will be held at 625 Luther Road in Red Bluff. For more informa- tion, visit www.imccon- certs.com.
