Legacy Five, widely acclaimed gospel quartet, is returning to Pleasant Grove Community Church at 6:30 PM Wednesday, April 28.  With 18 albums to its credit, Legacy Five offers a wide variety of styles.  And whether it’s a toe-tapping, hand-clapping lively tune, or a lilting ballad, the musicianship of the group shines – a fact borne out by the numerous awards the group has garnered.  These include favorite group, as well as individual honors as favorite singers.

 

Long-time gospel music fans will recall that Legacy Five came to be after the retirement of the well-known Cathedral Quartet.  Former Cathedral’s baritone Scott Fowler, and pianist Roger Bennett formed Legacy Five in 2000.  Fowler is now the group’s lead singer and business manager.  Other members include Frank Seamans, tenor; Scott Howard, baritone; and Glenn Dustin, bass.  Tim Parton replaced Roger Bennett as pianist after Bennett’s untimely death from leukemia in 2007.

 

Legacy Five is in continual demand, and travels from coast to coast.  “We are extremely fortunate to have a group of this caliber minister to us locally,” says Robyn Blair, the church’s minister of music.  “We invite the community to come and enjoy a wonderful evening of music with us.”
