- Special to The Messenger

Multi-Dove and Grammy Awardwinni­ng recording artist David Phelps will be featured Friday, Aug. 13, at the Trion First Baptist Church, 95 Church St., Trion. The concert event begins at 7 p.m.

Once a childhood musical prodigy from Tomball, Texas, David Phelps earned a bachelor’s degree in music from Baylor University. Since then, he has become a nationally celebrated vocalist. Perhaps best known as the powerful tenor for the multiple Grammy and Dove Award-winning Gaither Vocal Band, Phelps is constantly building on a career that has already been groundbrea­king. Emerging as a leading voice in contempora­ry Christian music, Phelps has performed for more than two decades. He has performed at numerous prestigiou­s venues across the globe, including the White House, New York’s Carnegie Hall and the

Sydney Opera House in Australia. With 14 solo albums to his credit, his electrifyi­ng voice has moved audiences from all walks of life, crossing generation­al and stylistic barriers.

This event, with Phelps and his musical entourage will feature many of the songs from Phelps’ hymnal recording. Phelps lends his three-octave range to some of the most treasured hymns of the church with this new recording, which showcases masterful vocals and lush arrangemen­ts of such cherished gems as “Amazing Grace,” “How Great Thou Art,” “In The Garden,” “Victory In Jesus” and “It Is Well With My Soul.” Each song takes the listener on a journey of inspiratio­n and worship in song.
