Mark Bishop, one of gospel music’s top singers and songwriters, has been tapped for the first show of the inaugural season of the Smokehouse Gospel Music Dinner Theater series.
The series debuts tonight, July 14, at Jim Oliver’s Smokehouse Resort in Monteagle, Tenn. Aimee’ Garner, a gospel singer from Ringgold, Ga., will open the show.
The series, which features a second concert in July then continues monthly through October, is built around entertainment by some of gospel’s top artists to be enjoyed over a home-cooked buffet. Future concerts will be headlined by The Troy Burns Family, The Williamsons, Tammy Jones Robinette and The Lore Family.
Roger Spears, executive producer of Harmony Road TV, says talks with Smokehouse owner J.D. Oliver have been ongoing for a while “to find the best way to present a regular gospel concert series at the restaurant.”
