Thoughts: Hey!  A gospel group!  Oh, hey, and they're on Spotify as well!  


From the cover of the album, this is six grown men and two small boys, who are all dressed up to be the groomsmen in someone's wedding, and ready to harmonize their way into heaven.  Eight songs on their album - 2007's Keeping the Faith - and only one of them passes the 1,000 stream mark.  That is the opening track on the album, "Love Is," with 4,219 streams.
Honestly?  Sounds pretty nice.  Good voices, cheesy synths, tight rhythm section.  "pick 'em up!  That's love!"

Their ACL bio from past years is like four sentences, and really doesn't help explain who they are, except that it called them a quartet, and since there are nine people in their photo, I think we can assume that they don't do well at math.

Although the small children aren't in this video, I am assuming this is the same thing.  The video is just called Shields of Faith / San Antonio, TX, so I can't tell you the song name or anything.  Also, it sounds like the microphone has been submerged in a can of baked beans that is being held in a time machine that is going backwards at one second per hour.

Go get your gospel on, you heathen!
