National Quartet Convention 2008 Louisville, Kentucky

Filled to capacity, overflowing with excitement and the blessings of God… best describes NQC 2008!  Fifteen of Paradigm Music Groups artists gathered in a 20 X 90 block of booth space and fellowshipped like long lost family. The groups who participated this year were:  Gann Family, Tammy Kirkland, Cricket Lee, Tommy Moseley, Michelle Holloway, Grace Bailey, The Shireys, Craig Edwards, Emerald City Quartet, Darlene Chapman, Heirs of Grace, Georgians Quartet and Fresh Anointing.  We arrived on Sunday with a trailor full of beams, carpet, lights, banners, product, posters and guys ready to go to work.  After about 6 hours of long hard work the booth was constructed and we were ready to greet the fans of Southern Gospel Music.
We want to thank all of you who took the time to stop by our booth and hug our necks, leave a card or sit and talk awhile.  There are so many highlights of the week it’s hard to name them all.  We worked hard to keep ourselves on schedule with radio, web and Solid Gospel interviews just to name a few.
 
On Monday, Tuesday, Wed. and Thursday we had artist in the Regional Showcase, Artists Spotlight showcase and Featured Showcase.  We stayed busy supporting each other’s ministries. On Thursday Afternoon the SGMG honored Bill and Gloria Gaither with a Lifetime Achievement Award in the VIP room of Freedom Hall and we were fortunate to be included in that event.  It was an experience that I will never forget.  On Friday Morning Paradigm Music Group hosted our “Invitation Only” Artist Spotlight showcase in the Southwing Conference center of Freedom Hall.  This was no ordianary showcase!  Our friends from Skyline Drive set up lighting, multi media screens and it was amazing.  We can’t thank them enough for all their hard work.  Kim Hopper hosted the event and we had a worship service.  Right in the middle of the showcase, Casey from Fresh Anointing got a HUGE surprise when her boyfriend, (now fiance) showed up unannounced, only to make his way to the stage and get on his knees and ask her to marry him.  She said “Yes!“.  That was fun for all of us.  During the showcase we gave away door prizes of appreciation to all the DJ’s and Industry persons in attendance.  There was a room full of our Industry friends who attended on Friday morning bringing us to full capacity.  The showcase was over at 11:30 then we rushed to another “Highlight” event.  Phil Cross “Song of a lifetime” showcase.  It was an honor for Calvin and Tommy Moseley to be asked to sit on stage with so many talented people.  Calvin introduced the song he wrote for Tommy, “I will stand” and Tommy sang to a room of 8000 people who did stand on his behalf. There were not many dry eyes in the house that day. We are very thankful of God’s blessings on Tommy’s ministry and the way God used him.

During the week we were approached by many people in the industry who made a point to comment on the love that they felt among the Paradigm Artists.  Paradigm Music Group has been a label in the Industry for 8 years and in this business that’s new. However, our years of service and love for the Lord amount to more years than most of us want to admit.  We truly are a group of Artist joined together for one purpose and that is to lift the name of Jesus through the music we love so much.  I am so very thankful that God has blessed us in the way that he has this past year.  We want to thank every DJ who has charted our artists, every fan who has ever bought a CD and every prayer warrior who has prayed a prayer for Paradigm Music Group.  We feel very blessed to be apart of the Paradigm Family.  I encourage you to visit our Artist page and learn more about the Paradigm and Compass Artist.  Thanks for stopping by and we hope to see you in concert soon.
