The great beautiful state of Alabama is known for quite a number of things, and one of those things is the rich heritage of gospel singers, songwriters and gospel groups that have attained national attention and popularity over the years.  Four part harmony and sacred harp music was basically started in Alabama.  Today, it still produces fine gospel singers and gospel groups and especially quartets.

 
One of these fine quartets are the Joymen Quartet from Huntsville, Alabama and they formed in 1969.  Down through the years, they have had a few personnel changes and some of their former members have passed on and went home to be with the Lord.  But when someone needed to be replaced, God always supplied the right individual to step in and fill their shoes.
 
The Joymen Quartet have from their very beginning down to the present day, presented top notch four part harmony backed by a full band which is a "rarity" these days in Southern Gospel Music!  Their popularity over the years has allowed them to travel and win loyal fans and audiences and they have won the approval of numerous Pastors and Promoters in various states, that include not only their home state of Alabama, but Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida and Texas.
 
The Joymen present something for everyone, from the youngest to the oldest.  They'll make you laugh, they will make you cry, as they strive to do their best to get folks' minds off of their daily problems and struggles and to let them know Jesus loves them and He will take care of their needs.  They also try to encourage everyone and to help build up their faith and to let the "lost" know that Jesus loves them and if they would believe in Him and serve Him, they would have an Eternal Home in Heaven!
 
The Joymen Quartet and Band members are the following: Don Mitchell, a founding member singing the high Tenor, Lynn Price sings an exceptional Lead, Jerry Holman, a 15 year veteran of the Joymen sings a rich Baritone and Mark McClain sings the quality low-down Bass part.  He will thrill you and have listeners in "awe" as he hits those low notes.  Lynn Price is also the son-in-law of Carl Fears, so you not only have "family" within the quartet, but "adopted" family members as well and that is one of the reasons that the Joymen have that perfect harmony and musical blend!!  Jerry Holman also serves as Quartet Manager and does an exceptional job!
 
The Joymen Quartet Band is made up of: Brandon Mitchell, son of Don Mitchell playing Drums, Dale Wardell on Bass Guitar and Carl Fears, original founding member playing Piano.  His Mastery on the ivories will amaze you!
 
The Joymen have recorded several projects over the years and most are available for purchase.  Their latest 3 projects "Rise Above It All", "Most Requested" and "Favorites Through The Years" are definite "MUST HAVES" as they would enhance your Southern Gospel Music library immensely!
 
Over the years, the Joymen Quartet from Huntsville, Alabama have seen some Valley times, but have also experienced the Mountain Tops, in their quest to do the "Calling" that God gave them and to exercise their talents and gifts.  They remain faithful to that Calling and are dedicated to it, here in the present day!
