TIGERVILLE - The exciting sounds of Southern Gospel music will ring loudly on Saturday, Feb. 2, at North Greenville University as recording artist Ivan Parker will be featured in a special concert event at 6 p.m. Joining him will be The Providence Quartet.

Parker, who burst onto the Southern Gospel Music scene in 1982, has spent more than two and a half decades ministering in churches and arenas, sharing his testimony and rich vocal talents.

For the past decade he has been regularly featured on the Bill Gaither Homecoming Video and Concert Series, and in early 2008 the Gaither Gospel Series plans to release The Best Of Ivan Parker Collection. He received the 2007 Fan Award for Male Vocalist of the Year by subscribers of The Singing News Magazine, Southern Gospel Music's leading fan and trade publication.
