Mystery Men To Headline Friday Night Gospel Singing
The 2008 Magnolia Blossom Festival is so very pleased to have the great gospel sounds of Ed Crawford and the Mystery Men kick off the 2008 festivities Friday night, May 16th at 7PM on the Farmers Bank West Stage and is sponsored by KZHE Radio and Oil and Lube Express.
The Mystery Men are one of the newest and most exciting gospel groups in America today. The group began its journey in April of 2002. “Throughout my career in Southern Gospel music, I have traveled nearly every place you can imagine, but I believe it was all in preparation for what you see now,” Ed Crawford states. The intricate harmonies, detailed arrangements, and versatility, places this group in a league of their own. In one concert you will feel the nostalgia of their predecessors as they perform the classics, be moved as you experience the freshness of timely, original material, and thrilled with the unsurpassed sound of their a cappella numbers.
Although The Mystery Men are relatively new as a group, you will find their faces familiar having seen them perform as part of the Kingsmen, Singing Americans, Tar Heel State and various other groups. Read more about The Mystery Men by visiting The Mystery Men Website .
