HOULTON, Maine — The First Baptist Church of Houlton will host the Hyssongs in concert at 6 p.m. on Sunday, June 25.
Dell, Susan and Richard Hyssong travel full-time. Their ministry combines family vocal harmony, humor and brass instruments (trumpet and trombone) with their Christ-centered message.
The family’s classical music background, along with their harmony and specific chord structures, lend them a unique sound that has made quite an impact on audiences.
The group has been singing together as a family for more than 25 years.
Their southern gospel sound has earned them the Singing News Fan Award for Favorite New Trio 2014 at the National Quartet Convention, Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Every year since then they have been voted Top Ten Trio of the Year.
Their music is played on southern gospel radio stations and Sirius XM Enlighten. Their radio songs consistently chart in the top 10 each month. The most recent song, “There Is A God,” along with “Choose Life,” “Run The Race,” “I Tell Them Jesus” and “Let The Hallelujahs Ring” were No. 1 songs on the Singing News Radio Chart.
The group has been featured on several music magazine covers and in numerous articles. Absolutely Gospel.com listed them among 10 artists to watch in 2015 and their CD, “Faith & Family” was voted a Top 10 Album of the Year in 2017 by Singing News fans. The group has also been featured on the “Gospel Greats” radio program.
The Hyssongs perform at more than 225 events each year throughout the United States and Canada. They minister in churches, auditoriums and on gospel singing cruises, as well as on television and radio. They have had the opportunity to sing to audiences of over 12,000 people on the main stage at the National Quartet Convention and perform annually at Dollywood and Silver Dollar City. Through Compassion International, they visited El Salvador, Central America.
