Beginning the Second Half - Silver Dollar City's Southern Gospel Picnic

I was back at Silver Dollar City Wednesday ready for a full day of gospel music. And I'll be here for the rest of the second half of the festival. And what a better way to start the second half of the picnic than a night with the Second Half Quartet! But before the evening in Echo Hollow, here's a look at highlights from other groups throughout the day -

The LeFevre Quartet

• "He Was There" - I've been hearing this song so much on the radio, so I'm glad I got to hear it live!
• "Let the Church Arise" - Incredible song from their new album!
• "I'm Gonna Be Movin'"
• "I Want to Walk Every Day With My Lord" - Good to hear their new bass singer Keith Plott.

Soul'd Out Quartet

• "Blessed Assurance"
• "I'll Fly Away" - Love their spin on this song!
• "I Believe" - Always enjoy hearing Ian featured on this song. 
• "Arise My Love"

The Talleys

• "After All This Time"
• "His Life For Mine" - Always such a powerful song! 
• "Up Above" - I hadn't heard them sing this one in a while, I forgot what a great song it is! 
• "People in the Line"
• "But I Need You More"
• Piano medley - They had audience member call out hymns, "Great Is Thy Faithfulness, "What a Day That Will Be" and "How Great Thou Art" and Roger put them together on the piano.
• "He's Alive" 

Second Half Quartet

• "Standing on Holy Ground"
• "Master Builder" - Always love hearing Mark on this song! 
• "There's Something About That Name/ I Will Serve Thee" - This was absolutely beautiful! 
• "Cheer the Weary Traveler"
• "Prodigal Son" - I believe this is the song that started it all for this group. 
• "How Big Is God" 
• "I Know a Man Who Can"
• "Going Home"
• "Wonderful Grace of Jesus" - Good to hear them on the Cathedrals a cappella arrangement. 
• "Boundless Love" - Last song of the night and the audience was on its feet!
