Glendil Griffin bought a little guitar at a thrift store as a young boy and taught himself to play.  It all came together for him when a cousin took him into a Sunday School room at church and taught him how to hear and play the chord progressions in a song. He taught Glendil how to play a song by ear, knowing when to transition from one chord to another.  In high school, Glendil started learning to play piano at around the age of seventeen.  He took  any opportunity between classes to hone his craft in the band room. 

Playing instruments was something Glendil loved to do, but had not really thought much about singing.  He sang automatically while learning chords on the guitar.  One day, his pastor heard him singing while playing the guitar.  He  noticed how good Glendil's voice was and asked him to do a special song in church.  

“The very first song I ever sang publicly was ‘Come Morning’ by the Nelons.  I was scared to death!  I had never sung for anyone in my life.  I had to overcome a lot of anxiety.  At the end of the song, I put my head down.  My cousin tapped me on the shoulder and said ‘Look up!’  When I raised my head, there were many people at the altar and others praising the Lord all over the church.  I knew at that moment without a doubt God was going to use my singing in my music ministry,”

Not only does Glendil sing at other venues and churches, he is the Worship Leader on staff at Community Fellowship Church in Jonesboro, Arkansas.  He took the permanent position instead of traveling during 2020 and COVID, when all traveling was cancelled.  Glendil says evangelism and traveling with his message in song is still his heart.  That is why he has been so excited to get his new song out to the public and start booking new places again.

Glendil shared, “My vision for this song ‘When You Can’t Find Your Way Back Home’ written by Cynthia Reamy, is to reach people who may think they have gone too far.  I want to help to draw them back to the Lord.  My whole heart is to reach the person who is on the edge of disaster and let the Holy Spirit draw them back in.”  

Glendil was at an event in Tennessee, singing at an outdoor venue.  He didn’t know anyone personally who was there.  He was singing a song about his personal struggles and insecurities.  He said, “The enemy wants us to feel so defeated, like we can get so far from God, He can’t accept us.  A person came to the altar, and as we prayed with them, the person told us they were planning to take their life that night.  They even had the drugs to do it in their pocket.  During my transparency about my own struggles, the person got saved and took the drugs from their pocket they planned to take their own life with, laid them on the altar, and left them there.  It showed me that being vulnerable about my own problems could help someone else who was feeling the same way. 

“Unborn” is a poignant and thought-provoking song that narrates life from the perspective of a child not yet born. The lyrics poetically explore the unborn child’s hopes and dreams, their excitement about life, and their deep connection to their parents and God. Drawing inspiration from Jeremiah 1:5 and Psalm 139:15-16, the song eloquently expresses the sacredness of life, acknowledging that God knows and cherishes each individual even before their formation in the womb.

This song is not just a musical piece but a profound message and a prayer, calling for a renewed appreciation of the value of human life. It’s a gentle yet compelling plea to recognize the preciousness of children as God’s greatest gift and legacy.

Linda Boles’ journey in music spans decades, from her roots in her family’s bluegrass band, The Darden Family, to her significant contributions in various genres, including folk, and rock. Her life experiences, including personal tragedies and triumphs, have deeply influenced her songwriting, making her music resonate with authenticity and passion.

With “Unborn,” she hopes to touch hearts and minds worldwide, promoting a message of love, life and hope.

"Bucket List," Daniel's first original recording is his follow up to "That Don't Pass for Christian on the Farm."

His music and his story will continue to bless your heart and those of your listeners.

Daniel Wheeler's family has played music his whole life.  The Wheeler family jam sessions were a common event anywhere they were all together.  Daniel says everyone wanted to be included, so they all learned how to play country style and joined right in at family gatherings and church.  They played their favorite country songs and their favorite Gospel songs.  Daniel learned to play piano, harmonica, bass, lead and acoustic guitars, because his desire to be a part of those family jam sessions was so strong.  

Daniel found out about God's grace and mercy, he says, at age 30, and really got serious about his relationship with Jesus. He wrote his first song in 2016 just after that.  People at church liked his songs, so Daniel thought someone might like them on Facebook and started posting them about a year ago.  His followers have now grown to 25K and continuing to grow!  He plays and sings his originals and other songs he grew up playing.  People are loving his raw, heartfelt music, evident in his rapidly growing following!

Daniel's pastor was preaching recently when Daniel felt led to go to the altar to pray for some direction in his life.  His pastor said, "Daniel, God is going to open a door for you that you never thought would be possible."  Daniel says three weeks later, without any prior contact, Nashville Christian Country producer, Rick Schweinsberg called him after seeing some of his videos on social media.
