New Liberty Quartet Member
There will be an official press release forthcoming in the next month or so, but Liberty Quartet has added a new member, Jordan Cragun. Jordan is a fantastic vocalist and will be singing the baritone part for Liberty. Now, not to worry Liberty fans; Doran's not going anywhere. He'll still be singing occasionally, but wants to focus more on piano. For those of you who don't know Jordan, he's got a fantastic musical heritage (actually a wonderful heritage, music notwithstanding). His dad, Ray, sang bass with the Celebration Quartet for many years, the best quartet that most people never heard. His aunts include Kim Collingsworth, Julia Keep, and Sandy Adams; all incredible musicians in their own right. This is his first-ever song with Liberty, sung Friday night at the PGMA Music Festival in Eugene, OR. Special thanks to Ellen Gerig for the video. Jordan will start traveling with us full-time in January of 2009.

"He's been there too" sounds really good! You've got GBS, PVBI and HSBC covered...now where's UBC? =)
Wow, Keith! Up until now you and Doran looked like such young whippersnappers. Now you suddenly are looking rather long in the tooth! :>)

Way to go Jordan!! Welcome to the Liberty family:)
Yay for Jordan...sounding great!! i like that 2nd song! Ya'll take good care of him:)
Jordan's a great guy - congrats! You all sound great!
Jordan has a great voice but doesn't blend as well with the quartet as Doran does.
Not to take anything away from Doran who is a fine singer, But Jordan blends great with the group! And he also brings an element of power and dynamics that Doran did not.
The beauty of it all is that Doran and Jordan will both be singing. We're blessed to have 2 incredible baritones in the group. Trust me, they'll both bring their individual strengths and talents that will uniquely shape our quartet sound.
