Mark Trammell Trio makes first-ever appearance in Madison

The Mark Trammell Trio of Gadsden, Ala., will be making their first-ever appearance in Madison on Friday, Feb. 8, 2008, at Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park, beginning at 7 p.m. Admission is free, however a love offering will be received.

Mark Trammell is a familiar name in southern gospel music, having performed with America’s top quartets, such as Gold City, the Kingsmen and the Cathedrals, and the trio Greater Vision. Having performed nearly 30 years, Mark is known for his unmistakable smooth baritone voice.

More than 25 years ago, Mark Trammell, as a member of the Kingsmen, shared the stage with one of southern gospel music’s best-loved tenor singers, Ernie Phillips. Today, Ernie’s son, Eric Phillips, sings tenor for the Mark Trammell Trio. Like the others, Eric is very ministry-minded. “It’s all about the message,” he says. “I want to be an encouragement to people and to share the Word through song to unbelievers. It’s very humbling, yet, also very rewarding when someone tells you how a song you’ve sung has been inspiring to them, or helped them in some way deal with a problem or difficult situation.” Phillips has been with the trio since its beginning.

The newest member of the Mark Trammell Trio is Dustin Sweatman. Dustin is 22 years old and hales from Cumming, Ga. For the past three years Dustin sang with the Dixie Melody Boys. He is not only a very talented lead singer, but is an awesome keyboard artist as well.

Steve Hurst is a renowned musician, instructor and mentor to many of today’s favorite gospel artists. He has been involved in ministry for over thirty years. Steve loved music as a child and furthered his training throughout his schooling. He graduated from George Peabody College for Teachers of Vanderbilt. Following graduation he began working as a music instructor for groups and soloists as well as working in music schools around the country. He started the Steve Hurst School of Music in 1992. Steve now travels with the Mark Trammell Trio singing selected songs on each program.

A rich history of southern gospel music can be found within the roots of the Mark Trammell Trio. To learn more about the Mark Trammell Trio, visit their website at www.marktrammellministries.com.
