(Durham, NC) Yielded, a four-year-old southern gospel trio from Durham, NC, is pleased to announce the addition of Robert “Rocky” Smith, Jr. as their new lead singer. Rocky fills the position vacated by Liz Hogan in November, 2005. Liz left the group to join her husband in a youth pastorate at her home church. The addition of Rocky changes the group from a female trio to mixed trio. Laura Roy, soprano and Karen Ghormley, alto and founder of the group make up the remainder of Yielded.
Currently residing in Greensboro, NC, and originally from Mt. Airy, NC, Rocky has been involved in gospel music since a young boy. Rocky is an accomplished musician. He plays piano, harmonica, drums and almost anything with strings on it. He’s had the opportunity to play with several well known, nationally touring groups including The Easter Brothers, whom he refers to as “Living Legends”.
Yielded is excited about the new style and sound they are experiencing with Rocky. The change is dramatic and almost like a totally new group. Audiences so far have warmly welcomed and thoroughly enjoyed the new sound.
When asked for his thoughts, Rocky stated: “I am very excited about being a part of Yielded. … This is the first time I've really been a stand up singer and I want to thank Karen and John for taking a chance on a southern gospel musician and allowing me to sing. My prayer for Yielded is that we stay Yielded to the guidance of God so that we can see souls saved and people blessed.”
Group manager, John Ghormley says: “Yielded’s sound has changed to a more vibrant, exciting, and maybe more traditional southern gospel sound than in the past. Rocky’s instrumental ability will add greatly to the audiences’ enjoyment of Yielded.”:
