Gatesville Country Music Hall of Fame

Dec. 16, 2016, The Erwins The Erwin?s started singing as soon as they were able to talk. Appearing in over 270 dates a year with their mother and father. They?ve traveled their entire lives singing in concerts, revivals, and conferences across the country. Three of the four siblings, Keith, Kody, and Kris performed as a trio until 2013 when Katie was added to the group. Their new CD, ?Back To The Basics? is a fresh, new sound with the addition of Katie?s voice. Lead singer, Keith Erwin is the eldest (age 24). Receiving several music and basketball scholarships after high school, he turned them down to sing with his family. When not singing, he enjoys playing his guitar, golfing, fishing, and talking about sports. Katie Erwin (16) sings alto. The brothers affectionately referr to her as the ?rose among the thorns?. Her stage presence makes her a favorite everywhere she goes. Kris Erwin (20), the youngest brother, is fulfilling his life-long desire to sing Gospel music. He sings baritone for the group. Kris is responsible for finding new songs for the group to sing, and is in charge of the product table. He loves meeting new people, serving the Lord, and playing piano and bass guitar. Kody Erwin (22) is the quiet one and sings bass. He loves playing golf, bass fishing, and hunting. He was All-State in Basketball for two years, and named, Honorable Mention All-American. Kody says he is now enjoying ?life after high school!? Keith says, ?Singing is all we know; it's our life and our joy to serve the Lord with the voices He gave us. We know the Lord doesn't need us, but He chose to use us, and for that we are thankful. We simply want to spread the Word of Jesus Christ and reach as many people as we can!? Jay and Tammy Roy are on our stage at least once a year as featured entertainers. Our audiences consider them one of their favorite performing couples. They pack the house. I?m told they will do their most requested gospel songs ?In Step With The Master? and ?On My Father?s Side?. Lana Chapman is a singer, songwriter, and recording artist from Hamilton, TX. Brought up around country music; she loves singing country gospel. I think her singing will tell us more about her than words can express. I believe you will enjoy her beautiful voice.
