Redneck. He defines that as “rolled up baggy jeans, sleeveless T-Shirt, and
Baseball cap. He refers to his music as Christian Country mountain music the
kind you hear in Alabama, Tennessee or Kentucky. He is a preacher kid but
never thought about being a preacher. He sounds a lot like George Jones and
we know you will enjoy him. Sit back and enjoy “real Christian Country”. |

Jayc has
had his share of tough times. At the age of 10 his older brother passed
away. Tragically, a year later his older sister passed away which had a
devastating effect on his father. As the eldest son Jayc began to work full
time at his family’s auto repair shop while attending school. During his
mother’s last days she made the statement “if only our boys would do what
they were put on this earth to do”. This statement encouraged Jayc to begin
to follow wherever the Lord would lead him. As a result he began to follow
Gospel music. Today he writes and sings Country Western and has touched the
hearts of many who listen to his music.

Danny Ray Harris is relatively new at Christian Country but what a great
testimony. His singing began at a very early age and he continued to
develop his singing until his parents separated. He was 11 years of age at
the time. He bounced between His mother’s home in KY and his father in
AL. This separation left him
with the feeling of “never really being at home”. He accepted Jesus in a
small
Baptist
Church in KY at age
17. He continued to write and sing his music in nightclubs. In 1998
married his wife Cindy and God blessed them with a little boy whom they
Garth Harris.
In
2001 Danny & Cindy were invited to visit with Marty Raybon. After that
meeting he realized his music profession was never going any where until he
surrendered it to Jesus. It was Marty’s meeting that Danny points to that
changed his life. Earlier this year Danny began his music ministry. We
were fortunate to meet Danny on our recent trip to
Nashville
TN at the CCMA Awards Show.
Come spend an evening with us and enjoy a true up and comer who is on fire
for the Lord. |
