With a span of under eleven years, this musical family trio has been blessed over and over with success in their ministry. Golden Harmony members consists of Avis Golden, Jacy Golden and Delton Hanley. This New Brunswick southern gospel trio has just signed a recording agreement with Chapel Valley of Sharps Chapel, TN. Avis Golden (the groups tenor vocalist and pianist) started playing the piano at the young age of three years old and was her church's pianist for over thirty years. She previously traveled with fellow Chapel Valley recording artists, The Ascensions. The blend of family harmony with mother-and-son, Avis and Jacy Golden, and their cousin, Delton Hanley is truly displayed on their latest album, "Campmeeting", featuring their hit single, "Long As I Got King Jesus", recorded live at their home church. Currently, they are also putting the finishing touches to their newest recording called, "Miracle" to be released this Fall. Chapel Valley's marketing and artist director, Richard Hyssong, said this month, "I have known Golden Harmony and their dedication to tell others about Jesus Christ for many years. We are thrilled that they have decided to join our family of artists. Golden Harmony is very popular in the Maritimes of Canada and Chapel Valley knows that they will be well received here in the United States." Jacy Golden (the groups owner, lead vocalist and bass guitarist) has his eyes focused on ministry as never before. He said this week, "We want to present Jesus Christ in song. Our main focus is to see lives changed! That is the most important thing in the hearts of everyone in Golden Harmony." Golden Harmony has received several awards, including the New Brunswick Gospel Music Hall of Fame's Group of the Year Award, as well as being featured on weekly television broadcast, Souls Harbor. Nothing would be possible if it were not for God." Golden said the group is so excited to be a part of the Chapel Valley family of artists. "Chapel Valley has several events which we can be part of. We will be taking part at the "National Quartet Convention" in Louisville, KY this fall, performing Thursday afternoon. This is the largest gathering of southern gospel artists in North America. We will also be performing at the "Christmas in the Smokies" event in Pigeon Forge, TN for three days in December. Chapel Valley want us to record a new album with them this fall and we are very extremely excited in taking a trip to Tennessee and do a new project with them. It will be due for release in 2011. They also have compilation CDs and can track our radio airplay. With 45 or more artists in the Chapel Valley family of artists, Golden Harmony considers it to be an honour to be included." Delton Hanley (the groups baritone vocalist and saxophone extraordinaire) added, "We do what we call full-time/part-time ministry, meaning, we still work regular jobs but travel and sing usually three weekends a month and often do tours around Atlantic Canada and the Eastern United States. Our upcoming tours to Florida, Texas and Louisiana is scheduled for 2011. I am happy to be part of what God is doing and excited to see what is in store for us next." Shane Roark, co-owner of Chapel Valley said, "Our company is involved with ministries all over the world including our work with Compassion International. We are excited to have Golden Harmony come on board with us." Golden Harmony added, "with a recording contract and the increased exposure that this can bring, we are looking forward to the group going on to the next level." Golden Harmony is currently working on their 2011 schedule and have several concerts booked for this Summer and Fall, including the 28th New Brunswick Gospel Music Festival in Rusagonis, NB. August 14th; The Campbell's Homecoming in Oakland, Maine, August 20th, and the Country Gospel Music Night with Joey Knight, The Ascensions and others, at the Playhouse Theatre in Fredericton, NB November 20th. Please pray for Golden Harmony as they continue to share with others the love of God through music!
