GROUP BIOGRAPHY

 

 
The name Palmetto State Quartet signifies class and integrity.  The group is known by the rich blend of classic voices that define it as a living legacy.  In 1946, the quartet garnered its unique name from the Palmetto tree in South Carolina where the group originated.  Since that time, PSQ has provided its audience with a stylistic presentation  and  an enriching blend of vintage quartet music.  Over

the past six decades, many talented, gifted singers and musician have come and gone but always consistent is the rich classy sound that has propelled them to the forefront.  This quartet appreciates the value of Christian entertainment but realizes their primary focus is of a divine nature.  They have found their mission statement to be " meeting people at their point of need".  Simply put, that at every concert, the group believes that with God's anointing, one word or one song might change a life forever.  The group is humbled and honored to share in that calling.
 
When you experience the ministry of PSQ, their presentation is dynamic and exciting, leaving the audience entertained and captivated.  The group certainly embraces the value of entertainment but understands that their primary focus is of a God breathed mission.

HISTORY 101

 

 
With a rich history like that of the Palmetto State Quartet it is important that the story be recorded for future generations of Southern Gospel Music fans.  So much is known about the origin and career of groups such as the Statesmen and Blackwood Brothers that it would seem they were the only groups  on  the  road  during  their  heyday.   In  contrast, even

though they were around during this same era, very little is publicly known about the history of the Palmetto State Quartet.  Very few of PSQ's oldest fans could tell you the names of the original members of the group.  This is mainly due to the fact that the group was formed so long ago that those who followed the group in those days are either not able to attend concerts or have passed on.
 
Keeping this in mind we began this series of history lessons with
a complete overview of The Palmetto State Quartet, from it's inception through all of the personnel changes, to bring you up to date with the modern day group.  We'll continue this monthly series with a biographical sketch of each individual who has been a member of The Palmetto State Quartet.  You'll learn where they came from as well as where they are today and what major contributions they've made to the Palmetto State Quartet and Southern Gospel Music along the way.
