Loved hearing all the classic, old Inspiration songs by this new, younger group of guys! An incredible amount of talent and stamina! They started the night by singing about 12 songs non-stop for about 45 minutes before even saying a word! The pianist is literally a master of music in singing and in any instrument. My favorite part of the night was when he played 8 different instruments to the tune of "I'll Fly Away." Being a musician myself, I can appreciate the amount of practice these guys must put in to sound as good as they do. I did not catch a single musical mistake the entire evening. I'll be sure to attend again next time they are in my area, and I highly recommend anyone else going to see them if you get a chance!

The Inspirations Biography
Martin Cook, a former piano player for the Kingsmen Quartet and a chemistry teacher at Swain High School in Bryson City, NC, formed the Inspirations in 1964 with several of his teenage students: Archie Watkins, Ronnie Hutchins, Jack Laws and Dean Robinson. The Inspirations began traveling full-time in 1969, a year after hosting their first “Singing In The Smokies” event. The 1970s saw the Inspirations rise to national attention with a number of hit songs. The group continues today, still maintaining their iconic and unique sound.
