NOW SINGS MY SOUL
Crossroads shares their spiritual side on Daystar's Gospel Music Showcase

Most of us know Crossroads first and foremost as a barbershop champion, equally at home with powerful ballads or jazz riffs, showmen with a comic flair and a historical bent.
As men of faith, they also see their quartet life as an opportunity for sharing praise in song. This side of their personality comes through loud and clear in their recent appearance on Daystar Television's "Gospel Music Showcase with Guy Penrod."  The quartet is featured for a full thirty minute concert of gospel and rousing spirituals, plus interview segments on the role of faith in their lives.
Crossroads - Gospel Music Showcase with Guy Penrod
Be sure to reserve your tickets soon. With epic contest match-ups, a week of shows and HU classes, and all of the Nashville hospitality... you can't help but have a great time. It's all happening in July! #BHSNASH  

Have your ticket but haven't booked a room?
Nashville is a top summer destination and downtown hotel rates have been slowly rising over the past few years. Our events team has worked wonders to secure convention room rates well below what you'd find on your own... but we only have a few more weeks to enjoy convention pricing. Be sure to make your reservation BEFORE June 3rd to get our convention rates!
