CHRISTIAN DAVIS ANNOUNCES NAME CHANGE AND NEW MEMBERS

image FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. – Christian Davis is announcing plans to change the name of his newly founded quartet. Originally named Freedom Voice Quartet, the group will now be known as Christian Brothers Quartet. The change comes after learning of another southern gospel group by the same name.

“Shortly after announcing Freedom Voice Quartet as our ministry name, we learned about a trio in Ohio named Freedom Voice. We immediately began searching for a new name,” said Davis regarding the decision to change the name. “We are extremely pleased with the new name.”

In addition to changing the name, Davis is also pleased to announce the members who will be joining him in the new group. The new members are Byron Pritchard, Craig Odell, and Michael Hayes.

Byron Pritchard, the new lead singer with an incredible vocal range, is from Fayetteville, NC. Although this is Byron’s first position in a full-time quartet, he has worked and traveled with many of today’s established Southern Gospel artists, including Jake Hess. Pritchard is a graduate of Methodist College with a degree in vocal performance. He currently works in Mill-West Studios as a producer, engineer, and background vocalist. Pritchard is also the brother of Wesley Pritchard of the Old Friends Quartet.

Craig Odell of Murfreesboro, TN is the new baritone for the Christian Brothers Quartet. Odell is often lauded as one of the smoothest baritones in the industry and formerly sang with N*Harmony until it disbanded last year. Since N*Harmony disbanded, Craig has been teaching middle school in Murfreesboro, TN and filling in for other gospel groups.

Filling in the tenor position is Michael Hayes of Spivey’s Corner, NC. Michael is a powerful, full-voice tenor who has sung with Heavenbound and most recently Chapter IV.

"I am very excited about the men who are joining me in the formation of the Christian Brothers Quartet. These young men are not only talented singers, but each one has a strong Christian testimony,” said Davis.

"After praying about it and receiving offers from other groups, nothing seemed to fit,” said Craig Odell, new baritone. “When I was approached by Christian, it just felt right. It was an answer to prayer.”

Christian also wished to thank everyone who applied and auditioned for the group. He also requests everyone’s prayers as the group begins rehearsals.

Christian Brothers Quartet’s booking will be done through the Dominion Agency. The group is currently booking dates for later in the year. If you wish to book the Christian Brothers Quartet, please call (910) 484-6996

Christian Davis is undoubtedly one of the finest talents to come along in several years. He is able to sing a low smooth tone with clarity and control and his voice will not fully mature for at least another 15 years. Christian, my family will be praying for this new gospel music ministry.
