Phillip Gann,
Baritone |
|
|
About 20 years ago, the Lord
began to work on Phil and started pointing him in the direction of another kind of music.
Phil had been leading music in churches all that time but felt the tug towards another
kind of ministry.
One of his pastors began to teach Phil the art of this wonderful music and how to hear
parts. He finally got through to him after several ulcers and launched him into the
beautiful world of southern gospel. Today, Phil is one of the best sounding baritone
voices in the field.
Phil sang with several groups and finally arrived at Jericho Road. However, after over 2
years, he had to drop out because of health reasons. His health has been restored and so
has his position with the Jericho Road Quartet. Phil lives in Springtown, Texas with his
wife of twenty six years. He and Sue are the proud parents 3 kids and 2 granddaughters. |
