| Who will be coming to the Gospel Music Convention 2009 |
| The Ball Brothers - USA |
 |
| Anyone who thinks a Christian young person is "missing out" on something, has obviously never met the Ball Brothers. These brothers, Andrew, Daniel, Stephen and Josh (the sound technician) are young, exciting and love to have a good time doing what God has called them to do. "We like to have fun!", says Daniel. "No one told us siblings couldn't be best friends." The bond these brothers have is an integral part of their unique musical blend. Their youthful energy is apparent to all who meet them and enjoy their exciting live performances. The Ball Brothers showcase a creative confidence and intuitive grasp of harmony that would be rare in artists twice their age. Central Illinois, where the guys grew up, is more known for flat farm land, than singers. Yet at an early age, The Ball Brothers began practicing the beautiful harmonies that would catapult them into the spotlight. When they began singing with their family, these young men entered into a strong tradition of family harmony groups in gospel music. However, The Ball Brothers bring their own youthful energy to these traditions, creating a style that encompasses all that is great about the family groups of the past with their own unique sensibilities. With their mix of new and old, The Ball Brothers have great potential to appeal to a broad audience. They will surely attract young people with their exciting performances and older audiences will enjoy gospel harmony at its finest. No matter the age or musical preference, the Ball Brothers have a fresh sound that will appeal to everyone. In addition to wowing listeners with their music and expanding their musical horizons, the Ball Brothers take pride in living their lives practicing what they sing. They have a calling from God to see souls touched and people encouraged through their music. With their talent, energy, and the Lord behind them, the Ball Brothers can look forward to even greater recognition for their incredible talents. "The Ball Brothers are introducing the newest, freshest music in Gospel music." states Brian Hudson of Showcase Management. "When I started managing the Martins over ten years ago, I thought that I would probably never find another group with as good of vocal blend . . . I was wrong." With praise such as this, one can expect that the Ball Brothers will be a fixture in gospel music for many years to come. |
| The Dills - USA |
 |
| The group consists of brothers, Shawn and Tim Dill, who have been involved in gospel music for over 20 years. The brothers began playing and singing with their mom and dad at the early age of seven. “I thank God that I was raised in a home where God was worshipped and his unconditional love for me was made known”, Tim states. Wives, LeeAnn and Bridget, who also have established foundations in gospel music, complete the group. The Dills’ brand new project “Uncommon” is inspiring and thought provoking. This project, produced by Kevin Ward, contains songs from some of the industry's greatest songwriters, such as Joel Lindsey, Tony Wood, Wayne Haun, Scott Krippayne and Rebecca Peck. “We just have to tell the world about the uncommon things God has done and is doing in our lives! Bridget states. |

Daybreak Quartet - U.S.A. |
 |
| The Daybreak Quartet was formed in 1991 by four freshmen at a Christian college in the state of Florida. The group performed primarily acapella numbers for on-campus events for the next four years. After graduation, the group moved to Stockbridge, Georgia and began singing in area churches several times a month. In 1999, the quartet began traveling full time and now presents up to 125 concerts each year. The Daybreak Quartet is a ministry-oriented group that exists to share Christ with the lost and to encourage born-again Christians in their walk with God. Each year, the quartet is involved with a number of evangelistic ministries and outreach events, including city-wide crusades, missions trips, youth camps and conferences, revivals and much more. The quartet has sung from coast to coast and internationally, including a trip to Sydney, Australia during the 2000 Olympic Games.

Trond and Kari - Norway |

Dynamic - Sweden |
 |
| Dynamic is an acapella group consisting of Jonathan Lund, Christer Ferm, Natalie Lund, Emma Ferm and Carina Johannson who all come from different parts of Sweden. Due to musical studies they moved to Stockholm, where they eventually met at the Filadelfia Church. They started singing together in 2002. Since then Dynamic have made appearances in churches all over Sweden and we have also been in a TV service, broadcast by the Swedish Television. In concert Dynamic offers a great variety of songs, both sung and played since two of us are professional musicians, but the main part is always the a cappella singing. The goal with every appearance is to glorify Jesus in every way possible, irrespective of musical genre. This will be Dynamic's second visit to the Gospel Music Convention. |
