From their beginning traveling together as a family in a Dodge Omni car, to a full-time music ministry with national hits, The Browders of Hiltons, Virginia are one of the most exciting groups to step on stage in many years. This family group consists of Tommy Browder, his sons, Matthew and David, and Matthew’s wife, Sonya. They travel year round, keeping a full concert schedule as well as holding revivals across the country. One of their most captivating qualities is that The Browders play much of their music live with Tommy on acoustic lead, David on bass, Matthew on rhythm guitar and Sonya on piano. They also write most of their own music. Since they started seventeen years ago, they have been steadily expanding and improving their ministry for the glory of God. In the last several years, they have enjoyed Singing News charting success with original songs like “Mom and Dad Raised Me Right” (#18), Unconditional Love (#24), “Tell it Like it is” (#21), and many more. Their latest hit, “Stand Up For Jesus”, stayed in the top ten for three months in a row, reaching as high as #7. Though things change throughout the years, their mission has remained the same—to bring hope to a lost and dying world and to encourage and challenge believers. They’re real and they’re anointed. We hope that in the near future you are able to attend or host a Browders’ concert to experience how God is working through this team.

Hello, we are the Jackson Memorial Trio from Bristol, Virginia. The trio consist of Stafford, Linda & Janet. We started out about 14 years ago singing in our local church, from which the name of our group came…Jackson Memorial Church.. Our desire and soul purpose of the group is to honor our Lord Jesus, see precious souls come to know Him, and to uplift our Christian friends. It isn’t about the group, but all about HIM.
