You probably know Guy Penrod as the former lead tenor from the Gaither Vocal Band.  After 13 years with the group, He has now set out on a solo career, with the release of a new single recording.  With the launch of Breathe Deep, Guy Penrod will tell you he’s not looking to change the face of country music. Only to bring a new prospective to its’ best attributes.

“I had made fourteen records with the Gaither Vocal Band when Bill asked me last year if I wanted to do a solo record.  I was excited by the opportunity to individualize my music and broaden my horizons. I also wanted to be true to the integrity of not doing a solo career inside the walls of my commitment to the Vocal Band.”

Born in Abilene, Texas, the son of a preacher, Guy grew up in church with a desire to somehow impact the world. “I learned pretty early in life that music was a good vehicle for me.”   He nurtured the gift of music growing up by singing in church and school and recalls his mom and dad telling him the story of how they stood him up on a folding chair as a 3-year old for his debut solo of “Fill My Cup Lord.” From there, the powerful voice that would grow through experiences in school plays, and singing with local groups and theater productions,  would lead subsequently to graduation with a vocal scholarship to Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia.  He took a job teaching voice at a private school in Georgia before opting a year later to heading back into vocal performance and a move to Nashville with wife, Angie.

During the early 90′s, Guy was an in-demand session singer in Nashville working in studio with the biggest names in both country and gospel music.  TNN’s “Music City Tonight” subsequently introduced Guy to wider national audiences as part of the vocal quartet that appeared nightly on the live 90 minute telecast.  “I got to sing behind some of the great legends of country music that I grew up listening to, as well as backing new artists like Kenny Chesney and Shania Twain at a point when their careers where just launching.”

Tim Mikkels with Gunn Productions presents Guy Penrod in concert on Thursday, April 15^th at 7:30pm at the Sioux Falls Orpheum Theatre.
