Brothers Forever

How does a group on today's Christian music landscape find their place? Do they stick to the songs of the good ole days or hymns or do they adapt to a more modern sound and embrace modern worship? When it comes to popular trio Brothers Forever, there isn't much of a dilemma. The group has managed to walk the fine line of modern and traditional for years and welcome both styles of music with open arms in regards to leading worship services in churches today. "We are so comfortable with all forms of Church music," responded Curtis Hagy of Brothers Forever. "We love to sing all forms of God's music. It's not a battle or struggle for us. It's just who we are." Formed in 2004 as a Southern Gospel quartet, the Gospel group transitioned into the trio you hear today under the leadership of founding member Curtis Hagy. Hagy is joined by versatile vocalists Gary Ballew and Chris Higginbotham. The trio has forged their own sound - which can clearly be heard on their latest release - Sheltered. Sheltered - which has already spawned off five Top 40 singles - features songs that reflect the unchanging truth of the Gospel in a progressive, cutting edge sound. From the acoustic based sounds of "I Am Him" to the Gospel-tinged "More Than That" - Brothers Forever bravely travel down a music path that many say is impossible. Whether you're a fan of barn-burning Southern Gospel (like their "I Can't Forget the Day") or more inspirational based sounds (like "Whenever I Speak His Name"), Brothers Forever is more than capable of delivering a varied style and sound. Gary Ballew said, "We really feel like having a varied sound has helped to open the doors for us in areas that we could never have imagined. God has taken us down many new and interesting roads, and we are so excited to go where he directs!" The group's remarkable sound has managed to place them in front of thousands of people all across the country - from California to New York. The group's musical diversity has managed to open new doors for the group - such as a performance on the Christian Music Hall of Fame and Awards Ceremony which was televised on the Trinity Broadcast Network. Recently, the group has felt the leading of the Holy Spirit to take on leading worship at churches - taking their sound down an even new path. "Worship has always been a huge part of our group," mentioned Chris Higginbottom. "When God opened this door for us, we knew that we had to step through. It's an exciting time for our group." Whether a fan of the traditional or modern, Brothers Forever's program offers something for everyone in the audience. They know that God has placed a huge task before them, and they are willing to go wherever He leads. Christian Music Group
