Trinity Assembly of God in Olive Branch, Ill. to host gospel sing with the Bowling Family
OLIVE BRANCH, Ill. — Trinity Assembly of God in Olive Branch, Ill., will be hosting a gospel sing at 7 p.m. Sept. 20 featuring the Bowling Family from Nashville, Tenn.
The Bowling Family features Mike’s vocals which are very distinctively similar to those of the late Kenny Hinson. After lending his vocal abilities to several of their high-charting songs, Mike went on to join another successful family group, the Perrys. While with the Perrys, Mike was featured on songs such as “God Sent Angels,” “By Faith I Can Touch Him Now,” “Not Even A Stone,” “Redeemed,” “When He Spoke,” and many others.
After Mike’s marriage to Kelly, Kelly sang with her family the Crabb Family. Mike spent the next six years traveling as a soloist garnering a tremendous amount of success. In fact, he has been noted as the first Southern Gospel soloist to achieve back -to-back number one positions on the Singing News Top 80 charts. Kelly spent more than 15 years with her family, The Crabb Family. During that time they were the recipients of three GRAMMY nominations, 11 Dove Awards, 16 number one songs and numerous other accomplishments. Kelly’s unmistakable voice could be heard on the family’s hits “Don’t You Wanna Go,” “Good Day,” “Jesus Will Do What You Can’t,” “Trail Of Tears,” as well as singing harmonies on all the others. After the birth of the Bowling’s third child, Kelly realized it was time to join her husband on stage as The Bowling Family.
In February 2013, Mike and Kelly’s oldest daughter Hope officially joined The Bowling Family on stage full-time. Many will remember Hope from her appearances as a small child along side her dad on various Crabb Family live recordings. Hope is excited to be sharing the stage with her family and is excited to be following in both her mother and fathers footsteps.
The Bowling Family has appeared on the Gaither Homecoming series concerts and videos, TBN, during Gospel Music Week’s Dove Awards, at GMA’s Seminar in the Rockies and numerous other major events. Their debut release, Faith To Believe, has garnered a record four number one songs (“We Have A Saviour,” “Your Cries Have Awoken The Master,” “A Miracle Today” and “Notified”), as well as the 2008 Song of the Year (“Your Cries Have Awoken The Master”).
