•   The award-winning Dove Brothers Quartet recently lent their vocals to the Lighthouse Children’s Home latest recording, Run On For Jesus.
Released independently, Run On For Jesus features vocals from the amazing young women at the Lighthouse Children’s home with the Dove Brothers Quartet recording all background vocals for the recording. All the vocals for Run On For Jesus were recorded at Serenade Studios in Bladenboro, North Carolina.
The Lighthouse Children’s Home was founded by Billy Hudson over thirty years ago in order to provide a home for girls between the ages of 12 and 17. The home is located in Tallahassee, Florida.
“I have been singing at the Lighthouse Children’s Home for over 20 years,” mentioned McCray Dove of the Dove Brothers Quartet. “He regularly promotes Gospel concerts in order to raise funds for the home. One day, I mentioned that the Dove Brothers should do a recording with the girls to help raise funds, and Billy agreed that that would be a great idea.”
McCray continued, “So, I called up Mike Milligan at Serenade Studios to see what they could do for us. Mike said ‘Yes!’ before I could ever tell him why we wanted to do it. Well, the girls loved the Shout It Out project that we recorded at those studios. Since we already had the tracks completed, we decided to do the songs from that recording but to let the girls be the stars this time around. The Dove Brothers just recorded the background vocals for the album.”
Eric Dove of the Dove Brothers said, “There is something special about this CD. You can feel the Lord all over it, from the first song to the last.”
All proceeds from sales of the Run On For Jesus project will benefit the Lighthouse Children’s Home. Information on ordering the project is available on the Lighthouse Children’s Home’s website: http://www.lighthousechildrenshome.com.
