The Garry Polson Family to visit Mannsville United Methodist

The Garry Polston Family will be performing at Mannsville United Methodist Church on Sunday at 7 p.m.

Everyone is invited to attend.

This Kentucky based group presents a concert of southern harmonies, including old hymns and songs written by the Polstons and others who write exclusively for the family. Their acapella arrangements are a favorite among their listeners, as well as piano numbers for some down home singing and guitars and banjo for some pickin' and grinnin'.

Garry Polston is originally from Jabez, Ky. He is an ordained United Methodist minister who has preached and sung in more than 20 states. He is a singer, musician and composer and has sung for many years with such groups as The Servants, The Brotherhood Quartet and also has performed on an extensive tour with the legendary Sego Brothers and Naomi.

Lula Caffee Polston, a native of Mannsville, sings alto.

Tracy Bertram is the newest member of the group. Bertram is a veteran of southern gospel music. He grew up in Campbellsville, the son of a minister who taught shaped-note singing, just as his father did before him at the turn of the century. Bertram has traveled and sung with such groups as the Heartland Quartet, The Joymakers, Vision and Redeemed. He also plays guitar, bass, piano and banjo.

David Martin lives in Bagdad, Ky. He is a low bass singer as well as a musician and composer. Martin is an ordained deacon at Cropper Baptist Church, where he teaches a Sunday school class and is the church organist.
