» Appointed Quartet from Tunnel Hill, Georgia, was named the top group at the 2013 Gerald Crabb A&G Talent Search in Fort Payne, Alabama. Then the quartet won the 2015 and 2016 Group of the Year at the Cloud Springs, Georgia, Fan Awards. Appointed Quartet was also named the top quartet at the Gospel Music Express 2016 Fan Awards.

This quartet regularly appears at Singing in the Sun in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, as well as Gatlinburg Gathering in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.

» In 1921, the original LeFevre Trio began traveling across the country, and for decades, the LeFevres blazed new trails in gospel music. In the late 1970s, some thought the LeFevre name would be retired when the trio came off the road, but in the 1980s-90s, Mylon LeFevre & Broken Heart became one of the top acts in Contemporary Christian Music.

Evolving into LeFevre Quartet, gospel music fans voted the LeFevres the 2006 Singing News Fan Awards Horizon Group of The Year one year after the quartet formed. In 2009, "Big Mighty God" was nominated for a Dove Award. In 2016, 2017 and 2018, the quartet was nominated as a Top 10 Traditional Quartet in the Singing News Magazine's Fan Awards.

The Atlanta quartet's 2018 album "Ascending" produced their first No. 1 hit, "Sun's Gonna Come Up."

' Master Peace Quartet is based in Dalton, Georgia, formed by old friends who sang in another quartet, Anthony Patton, Bill Worley and Barry Minish. They contacted Brian Morse to sing baritone and the quartet made its debut in April 2014.

The group is now made up of Patton, Worley, Brian Etheridge and Bobby Christopher.
