Character,
consistency and commitment when joined with a "divine calling,"
yields a ministry seldom paralleled by the masses of today's standards.
From Scotts Hill, Tennessee comes a musical ministry experience
known as "Four Fold" that strives to maintain this standard
of excellence deemed worthy of the Savior they sing about.
In June of
1985, six high school friends came together to form what seemed
to be "special music" for a local revival service. A
service indeed, because that night God ignited a revival fire
that still burns nearly some twenty years later.
From then
until 1996, these guys traveled at local churches, high schools
and other venues while along the way making people notice that
they had something to offer. In July of that year, others picked
up on that by awarding them the winners of Frank Arnold's Songfest
Talent Search held in Jackson, TN. The next year they began recording
with Zion Music Group and award winning producer Kevin McManus.
In 1997, they
embarked on a new journey that allowed them to take their ministry
all across the nation as well as some foreign countries. Having
been blessed with great charting songs such as "Shoutin'
Singin' Happy!", "When He Set Me Free," and the
heart challenging ballad, "Firmly Committed" they have
a message to share of how God transforms our lives in new and
astounding ways if we only give Him full control.
Currently
Four Fold travels as a four-part all male Quartet Southern Gospel
full-time music ministry. They perform with live instruments as
well as accompaniment tracks in a high energy spirit filled atmosphere.
They are represented by Rivergate Talent and Zion Music Group
both in Nashville, TN.
GREG POWERS
The only remaining founding member presently serves as lead vocalist
and emcee, although he did sing tenor for nineteen years. He selectively
plays piano, keyboards on special musical selections as well as
bass guitar for the group. He continues to lead the ministry efforts
and is most respected by industry peers as a solid quartet manager.
TIM BUFFALOE
In September of 1996, Tim joined the ministry team to sing bass
for the quartet. He quickly gained national attention for his
deep rich voice while delivering it with sincere heartfelt spirit.
He was featured in 1999 on the group's first live recording entitled
"Shoutin' Singin' Happy!" Having been away for four
years to serve as a church music director, he returned in July
2004 to continue his tenure.
JEFF WILLIS
Lexington, Tennessee native, Jeff came aboard in July 2003. He
now sings baritone and serves as the group's premiere instrumentalist.
Having played for many years in his high school's award winning
marching band, he now amazes the crowd with his solo renditions
on the trumpet. He has quickly become a unique musical treasure
that is sure to bless all that are privileged to share in this
experience.
BOB COLLIE
Most recently, industry newcomer, Bob Coffie from Moscow, Tennessee
joined the group in June 2004. He fills the position of tenor
that was previously held by Greg for nineteen years. Bob brings
an uncompromising spirit as well as a smooth tenor voice reminiscent
of those from the early quartets of days gone by. He completes
this quartet with a sincere spirit of humor and humility.
