Making a Huge Impact in Gospel Music and in People's Lives.

Calvin McGuyrt, Manager and Baritone
Calvin is a veteran of Gospel music, having been raised in a family that sang Gospel. His father was associated with the Stamps Quartet School of Music, teaching shape note singing schools, as well as being the leader of the Stamps Melody Quartet. Calvin took over the reigns of the group when his dad retired. The name was changed to the Georgians Quartet at the suggestion of the late Hovie Lister in 1955. The group has traveled and ministered throughout most of the United States. After several years, Calvin left the road to become Minister of Music in a church, but in 2002 felt the leading of the Holy Spirit to re-activate the Georgians, and the results have been amazing. Calvin is also an author, having written several of the groups popular songs. The Georgians count it an honor to be music missionaries and place heavy focus on ministry, while presenting their music with excellence. "We have been blessed to see more people saved and prayers answered this past year than ever before," says Calvin. Calvin and his wife, Marilyn, live in their hometown of Valdosta, Georgia and have three children.

Elbert Southall, Bass
The bass singer for the Georgians is considered among the best in Gospel music. Elbert is a dynamic singer with many years of experience. His low bass notes on the upbeat songs, along with his smooth solo delivery on the standards are favorites in the Georgians' concerts. His resume includes singing with Jerry Trammell and the Arkansas Boys and the Texans Quartet. Elbert was born in the small, but historic community of Cooterneck, Arkansas, close to the birthplace of the legendary Coach Bear Bryant, who he played football for at Alabama. After coaching for thirteen years, he bought a State Farm Insurance Agency and moved to Gainesville, Florida, where he and his wife Pat now live. They have two sons, Mike and Pete.

Evan Minix, Lead
The Georgians are privileged to have one of the finest young lead singers in gospel music. Evan is gifted with a beautiful lead voice and a wide range that very few people possess. Although only 36, he has 13 years of professional experience, having sung with the Canaanland Boys and Rushing Wind from Jacksonville, Florida. His renditions of the Gospel classics as well as the faster tempo spirituals are an uplifting experience you won't forget. Evan is from Jacksonville, Florida and lives near his parents and three brothers.

Chad Hall, Tenor
The tenor for the Georgians is a young man that will sing his heart out for you. Chad is 25 and has only been singing professionally for about three years, but you would never know it as you listen to him. He loves the Lord and is grateful for the opportunity to sing for Him. Chad has a special anointing that can be felt throughout the audience as he sings. His ministry is touching the lives of many people, especially young people. He and his wife, Tamara, live in his home town of Baxley, Georgia, where his parents and younger brother, Brad, also reside.
