Multi-award winning bluegrass Gospel recording artist Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver will be featured in an exciting event set to take place at Randy Wood Guitars in Bloomingdale on April 4.

Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver has been awarded vocal group of the year by the International Bluegrass Music Association for the past seven years. The group has also received the honor of IBMA’s Gospel performance of the year for the past three years with recording projects released by Crossroads Music Group. Lawson’s brand new recording, “Help Is On The Way,” hit retail outlets on March 18, and promises even greater success and honors.

A deep love for music was instilled in the life of Quicksilver leader Doyle Lawson as a small boy growing up in the hills of East Tennessee. Lawson’s earliest memories center around music and listening to the Grand Ole Opry on Saturday nights. By age 12 he had learned to play mandolin and during his teen years became accomplished in other instruments, as well.

By the time he reached his late teens he had his first full-time job playing banjo for Jimmy Martin, and throughout the next 16 years played with a variety of talented musicians before forming his own group in 1979.

“I had played in bands that had their own sound before I joined them,” Lawson remembers, “but I wanted to put together a group that would have my sound.”

Over the past three decades, Lawson and his celebrated band have received practically every honor known to bluegrass music. He is recognized as one of the industry’s most celebrated musicians, having released nearly 40 recordings to date. His current single release to Southern Gospel radio, “Help Is On The Way,” the title cut from the recording, is already receiving airplay at radio stations nationwide.

On April 4, this nationally acclaimed musical group will bring its unique musical presentation to Randy Wood Guitars in Bloomingdale. This exciting musical event, featuring Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver promises to be one to remember.
