Dixie Melody Boys Select Josh Garner as New Lead Singer

Earlier today the Dixie Melody Boys announced that they were hiring Josh Garner as the group's new lead singer.

In the release issued the group stated that they began their search over two months ago when Mike Rogers resigned and had them listening to over 400 demos and auditioning numerous men.

“This has been different than most of the times I have hired someone to fill a position. We heard so many great singers and we even thought we had found the right man a few times but it just wasn‘t the right fit.” said Ed O’Neal. “I have always loved Josh’s voice. I have even tried to hire him a few times in the past but the timing was never right. I am thrilled to have him join us.”

Josh was previously with the Florida Boys and was a founding member of Freedom. He has been nominated several times as favorite lead singer.

“Josh called me and offered to help us by filling in until we could find someone. It made looking for someone easy knowing he was on stage with us until we found the right person. His first night with us felt as if we had been singing together for years. Over the next few weeks both he and the group knew the right guy for the job was already there. Josh is a great addition to our team. I know the fans will be excited about seeing him with us.” stated Matt Felts.

The Dixie Melody Boys have already been in the studio with Josh and will release the new album soon. The project comes off the success of their fiftieth anniversary album, The Call Is Still The Same, and promises to be a hit. Josh will join the group mid August and will appear with them for the first time at NQC on Tuesday and Wednesday night.
