NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Allen Smith of SGN Scoops Magazine, home of the Diamond Awards, is proud to announce that Old Paths have been confirmed as a featured performer for the 2006 Diamond Awards.

Old Paths is a full-time Southern Gospel music ministry based just outside of Atlanta in Oxford, Georgia. From the pure high sound of Jeff’s tenor voice, the rich, strong lead voice of Tim, and the joyful and heartfelt baritone voice of Doug, God has uniquely woven these three men together for the sole purpose of encouraging, enriching and enlightening the hearts and lives of those who have been and will be touched by their ministry. From the beginning, Old Paths has been a successful trio. However, Brandon Barry from Chattanooga, Tennessee has joined the group singing bass. He is an incredible talent that can hit all those real low notes. Brandon also has a heart for God, and he has a true passion for singing southern gospel music. This official makes Old Paths a quartet.

Although their ministry is music, they are not limited to just singing. Doug is a preacher, bringing the lost to Christ through his powerful testimony. Tim is a student of the word, having attended Tennessee Temple University. Jeff is an expressive story teller in song who attended Crown College. It’s obvious to anyone who hears these men that their main focus is seeing souls saved. They are not just southern gospel singers, but they are singing the gospel. The group has been successful with their music to radio, with their first single release, “The Fire Still Burns”, climbing the Singing News music charts to # 24. Their newest release, “I’ve Missed Out”, is currently at # 37.


Performing along with Old Paths during the awards program will be Brian Free & Assurance, Ann Downing, the Browns, the Hinsons, Big Mo, the Goldens, Lori (daughter of Anthony Burger), and the Wills. More performers will be announced at a later date.

The Diamond Awards are held every September during the week of the National Quartet Convention in Louisville, Kentucky. This year’s Diamond Awards will take place on Friday, September 15th, 2006 in the Scot Room of the Executive Inn West at the entrance of the Kentucky Fair and Expo Center in Louisville, KY.

The 2006 Diamond Awards will again be hosted by popular Southern Gospel soloist Mark Bishop and Kyla Rowland, one of the industry’s most sought-after songwriters.

Lamp Music Group is the major sponsor for this year’s Diamond Awards. Co-Sponsors for the event include 770 AM Southern Gospel, Southern Spin Entertainment, Coastal Media Group, the 2007 SGM FanFair, and Southern Gospel soloist Quintin McGinnis.

The Top 10 ballot for the Diamond Awards was released last month week and can be found at http://diamondawardsonline.com.

I could not be happier for this special group of young men. All five of them (Joseph Cox is the pianist for The Old Paths) are truly called to this MINISTRY. When you see this group in person, it is obvious that every member of the group definitely knows the ONE they are singing about. God is using this group to encourage and minister to Christians, and lead the lost to salvation through Jesus Christ with more than 60 people saved during the past 7 months. Teenagers on drugs to adults in their 70's have been saved.
These men are not just gospel singers, they sing (and preach) the gospel. I pray that God will continue to use you and bless your ministry, and I am so thankful God has allowed me to get to know these young men and be so very blessed by their ministry.
