(Goodlettsville, TN) - The Second Annual Southern Gospel Talent Contest was another huge success for Dignity Hospice this year. Singers from West Virginia, Kentucky, and Ohio made their way to the Coalfield Jamboree in Logan Saturday night in hopes of signing a Nashville Recording contract. After listening to 28 talented contestants, the judges, the Eddie Crook Recording Company and last year’s contest winner, Tonia Ward, chose the Maryetta Ambassadors of Verdunville.
The trio consists of Gary Doss, Marsha Doss, and David Kirkendoll. Once their names were announced, the singers sat down at an onstage table with Dave Wilcox of the Eddie Crook Company and signed a one-year deal with the Nashville recording company. The group will record a ten-song CD for the Cedar Hill recording label some time this year. They will have two songs released to national radio, and will be featured in a Nashville photo shoot.
The event is an annual benefit to help raise money for Dignity Hospice, a nonprofit organization, serving terminally ill patients and families of Logan, Mingo, Lincoln, Boone, and Wayne counties of West Virginia.
“Many patients do not have insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare to pay for hospice care,” a statement from Dignity Hospice said. “In those cases, Dignity Hospice pays for it. That includes paying for services, equipment, medications, and so much more. It takes money to do this and that is why these fundraising events are so important to our communities.”
