Forgiven Quartet has been spreading the good
news of Jesus Christ through songs and testimonies since July 1981.
They have performed all across middle America with an emphasis
on the smooth harmonies exemplifying southern gospel music. The
group has appeared in concert with many of the top names in gospel
music including The Mark Trammell Trio, Legacy Five, The Cathedrals,
JD Sumner and the Stamps, The Florida Boys, The Nelons, The Lesters,
and Albert E. Brumley Jr.
In
2002, Forgiven Quartet was asked to be part of the South Texas
Music Festival in Harlingen, TX as the feature southern
gospel quartet for the event. Later that year they were selected
as Grand Champions in the group competition at The Branson Gospel
Music Association’s “Showdown 2002” Talent
Contest in Branson, Missouri. The group has performed at Silver
Dollar City’s Fall Festival and for Gospel Picnic and has
recently signed an exclusive artist agreement with The Song Garden
Music Group in Nashville, TN on their Garden Creek Label. Forgiven
Quartet is a highly requested and respected southern gospel quartet
presenting more than 140 concerts per year. They have release
ten full-length gospel recordings in the past eight years.
Current members of the group are Mark Brooke (tenor) from Bartlesville,
OK who attends First Baptist Church; Mark Green (lead) from Owasso,
OK who attends Central Baptist Church; Buddy Pitezel (baritone)
from Tulsa, OK who attends Eastland Assembly of God, and Stanley
Johnson (bass) from Enid, OK who attends First Church of the
Nazarene.
According
to Green, “God
has truly honored our corporate prayer of 1 Chronicles 4:10
we've been praying over this ministry
the past six years. Just as He did for Jabez, God has provided
outstanding ministry opportunities and allowed us the privilege
of sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with so many wonderful
people! We give God all the glory! Our ministry is truly a labor
of love!"
Daywind Producer and nationally-known song writer, Marty Funderburk
from Nashville, TN says, "I have had the privilege of
spending many days in the studio producing nine of Forgiven
Quartet’s recent recordings. I’m very impressed
with their vocal capabilities and their incredible blend. Even
more impressive than this however, is their commitment to ministry
and to preserving the rich heritage of southern gospel music.
These are Christian gentlemen of the highest order, obviously
committed to spiritual and musical excellence. You can see
it in their live performances and you can hear it in their
recordings. Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to present to
you, Forgiven Quartet.....Southern Gospel Music at its finest."
