ECSGMA

No, this is not only a skin disorder.  ECSGMA stands for the Emerald Coast Southern Gospel Music Association.  This year was the annual jubilee weekend in Panama City.  Phil and Kim spent the week in Tampa with their new grandson, Brooks Thomas.  We were scheduled to sing on Friday evening, but had to push it to Saturday so Phil could get back into town.  On Friday night, at the ECSGMA Beacon Awards, the Gann Brothers won the award for “Male Group of the Year”.  We were very honored to be recognized by the membership of the association.  On Saturday night, we sang three new songs from our new album.  Mark Coleman came and ran sound for us as we performed.  That dude is Good!!  All in all it was a good weekend to be with other artists and the fellowship is always second to none.  Put on your calendar May 1.  That will be our 30th Anniversary sing.  More details and ticket information later this week.

We’re BAAACK

Okay, so it has been a few months since my last blog.  Hey I got a real good excuse……here it is……I mean a really good excuse……..okay, here goes…….Well, the truth is I DON’T have a good excuse.  I was so looking forward to blogging during the NQC back in September, but my laptop was really incompatible with the Expo center and I got discouraged trying to find WI-FI up there.  Then, the last few months of the year were very busy for us that I didn’t make it a priority.  So I apologize.  So many of you have emailed me and said, “Where did you go?”  So please forgive me.  Okay enough of sounding like a fifth grader that forgot his homework….

We finally have some pre-release copies of our new album out.  We took the month of January off to finish the project.  It is the best album I think we have ever recorded.  We still need a photo shoot and then we’ll be ready to send it off.  Craig and Dianna made some CD’s on their computer to get us through this past weekend.  We opened this year at Shiloh Baptist Church in Hartford, AL.  There was a church full and many of our friends came to hear us sing.  It is always good to see people at a concert that you are not necessarily expecting to see.  Over the next few weeks we will be updating our calendar as new concert dates come in.  If you would like to book the Gann Brothers, as always, you can contact us through the website or call (850) 556-1881.  We are also on Facebook, so become a fan of the Gann Brothers today.

BABY NEWS!!!!  Phil and Kim Gann’s son, Clete Thomas and wife Susie, had their first child this past weekend.  His name is Brooks Massey Thomas.  Phil and Kim will be spending this week helping them adjust to being at home with a new baby.  Rumor is that Brooks is calmed easily when crying by holding a baseball….i’m just sayin’ (Clete is an outfielder for the Detroit Tigers)  It’s in the blood. 

Speaking of blood…..did you know that the blood of Christ can make the vilest sinner clean?  Too Cool!!
