HEAVENS HIGHWAY

David,I was born and raised in Tupelo, MS. I started singing gospel music 17 years ago and as I grew further in the Lord I found myself wanting and desiring to do more for God because of the blessings He was pouring out on my life were amazing. The Lord and I started Heavens Highway 10 years ago and through this time God has taken me down paths I never thought I could travel, but I couldn't wait to see what He had in store at the next destination. He has tremendously blessed this group with souls that not only love the Lord but also love to work for Him and dedicate themselves to the ministry. I am thankful for the years I've spent playing music with my father as he instilled the love of music in my life and for my Heavenly Father for placing the desire in my heart to use the ability to sing and preach for His Glory. I also want to thank Him for giving me my family, my wife Amanda, and my three children Austin, Laken, & Dathan. Their support keeps me going on for God. Kathy What a privilege it is to have this opportunity to sing with "Heaven's Highway" and what a greater privilege to serve such an awesome God. Being raised in a Christian home my dad being a pastor and to this day a great mentor in my life, but after leaving home I went my own way and did my own thing. In 2003 our family suffered the tragic loss of my youngest sister, Lisa. Through this tragedy I gave my life to Jesus to use as HE desired. Sad, broken hearted, so often I've knelt; And I've found God's peace so serene; And all that he asks is a child like trust, And a heart that is learning to lean." Soon after her death, my sisters and I formed the group "The Holcomb Sister's" and after several years of singing together we decided to take a break from singing but not from serving God. I have been singing in my local church choir and through much prayer and seeking God, it is evident the call to sing is still on my life. God has opened the door for me to be a part of "Heaven's Highway" and I look forward to what Jesus has in store for us this year as we lift up His name through music. God is an Awesome God! Holly,I was born in Sherman Texas on November 29,1976 but raised in a small town, Durant Oklahoma. I was raised in a very musical family. All I have ever known was church and music. I was saved when I was 9 years old and got baptized soon after in a lake while attending a church picnic in a small town right outside of Durant called Kingston, Oklahoma. I actually started singing in 6th grade...but had music in my life since I was in the womb. I have been influenced by a wide genre of artist such as CeCe Winans, Juanita Bynum, Cyndi Morgan, Michael English, Clay Cross, Lanny Wolfe, The Gaithers, The Issaac's, Kirk Frnaklin, CLC Youth Choir and a plathora of local artist's. I never wanted to sound like a certian artist but always have been compared to a few. I married my husband Johnathan Nash in 2005 who at that time was my "Praise & Worship Director" and thus the push for a full time music ministry. He is currently serving in the US Navy and is set for release in May of 2011.We have a beautiful daughter, Taylia and are expecting our second child in May 2011. All I have ever wanted to do is sing...nothing else seems to matter at that moment other than me singing to my "Father". It's a intimate moment for me and a place where no one else can go except for me. What I experience will never be obtained by someone else. That's how awesome God is...each experience is completely different from the last or from someone else's experience. I never want myself or anyone that is within my voice to leave the same way I/they came in. My life has not been a easy road but with a clear view of the path I must lead, I know that all is well and my destination is clear! Marty Marty Rock was born January 13, 1958 in Baldwyn Mississippi.
