Jubilee on the Mountain will feature singer/songwriter Mark Bishop, singer Mallory Ledford and bands Rightpath Bluegrass, Kindred Spirits and Fredonia Five Bluegrass at Mowbray Baptist Church May 8 from noon to 6 p.m.
“We are projecting that 300 to 500 people might be there,” said the Rev. Darrell Broadway. “It will be one of the biggest events in the Hamilton County area. We’ve already had people asking if it will be an annual event. Lord willing it will be.”
Singer Mark Bishop toured the country for 17 years with the Bishops, which recorded 27 top 40 songs. Now in his solo career, he is releasing a new gospel album “Just Pay Attention.”
“Mark Bishop is down to earth,” said Broadway. “He loves the Lord and wants to minister through his music.”
Broadway said singer Mallory Ledford, 13, is sure to wow the crowd too. She has performed with Phil Cross, Mark Bishop and at First Baptist Church of Atlanta for the Rev. Charles Stanley.
Broadway said Jubilee on the Mountain is free to the public and parking attendants will assist motorists. Hot dogs, chips and Little Debbies will be available. Participants should bring lawn chairs to watch the concert on the grounds while their children play on the inflatable slide.
