“It is with great pleasure that we are having two amazing performances for 2022 Soldiers Reunion Gospel Music Night,” said Michael Burke of Burke Mortuary of Maiden and Newton who sponsors this event.
Carolina, formally known as the Carolina Quartet, is a high energy touring group hailing from both of the Carolinas. If you long for the rustic sounds of Classic Country, reminiscent of the Oak Ridge Boys and the Statler Brothers, Carolina is your band.
Unashamed of the Gospel, passionate about the importance of Family and proudly Patriotic, Carolina is paving the way for a revival of Country music back to its roots.
Opening for the headline group will be Adam Rose, a seasoned musician, recording artist, and worship leader from Maiden.
