Rare Crabb Reunion Comes to Paramount Arts Center
January 1, 2009
ASHLAND, KY - One of Southern Gospel music’s award winning family groups will reunite on stage to kick off the New Year with an especially rare night of music: the Crabb Reunion will be performing at 7:30 p.m. at the Paramount Arts Center, on Sat., Jan. 31st.
“Our goal is to reach all ages,” Jason Crabb said recently about the upcoming event at the Paramount. He added that the family members—including Jason, Adam, Aaron, Kelly, Terah and others—now find an even greater appreciation and purpose in singing together since the retirement took place. The siblings continue in their own callings of music and ministry, and still enjoy getting together on special occasions like this one. According to Jason, it’s especially significant when they can join together on stage to perform in their home state of Kentucky. “We want to reach everyone, from the oldest to the youngest, because they all need the message of Jesus Christ.”
Appearing on stage at the Paramount Arts Center will be the Crabb Revival with Adam Crabb and Terah Crabb Penhollow, Jason Crabb, and Aaron and Amanda Crabb, along with an array of live musicians. Kelly “Crabb” Bowling will be the only members of the family not attending the family concert due to scheduling conflicts. The concert will be especially unique since all the members of the family will perform numerous Crabb Family chart-topping songs from yesteryear, and will also perform in other unusual musical amalgamations with new hits and medleys.
Fans are also invited to an intimate, pre-show dinner and meet-and-greet with the Crabb Family, at Daystar Studios, in Ashland, just five minutes from the Paramount Arts Center. The dinner will include a lovely buffet with drink included. Visitors can also tour the largest Christian television station in the tri-state area. Tickets for this special dinner with the Crabbs are limited. Order tickets, $20 each, by calling 606-615-5678.
For the Paramount Arts Center Show, 1300 Winchester Avenue, Ashland, KY, tickets are $20, $25 and $30. Tickets are available by contacting the Paramount at 606-324-3175.
Hello, I was just wondering what you think about when someone is doing something for God and when people call them or people don’t have the money to buy yours or anybodys C.D’s do you just give them one or do you still what the money for them? I sing in a gosple band and if I feel like someone can’t afford a C.D I just give them one, because Jesus never charged the people when he did the work for his father. That’s why I don’t feel like these groups that are of god should charge when they do their fathers works. I know some people have different ideals on that but that is what the word saids. except no gold or silver from thy purses. God bless and keep you safe.
I saw the Crabb Family reunion at the National Quartet Convention in Louisville, KY last September and it was awesome. I was on the 2nd row and was captivated by how much talent these young people have. You can tell how much they love the Lord. In answer to Dianna (above), the Bible also says that a laborer is worthy of his hire. If you feel like you want to give away a CD, that is your perogative, but a full-time group like the Crabb family have to sell their product in order to pay their bills. The work they do for the Lord is the only work they do and they have expenses for travel and to keep their homes going. They have the same bills we do (rent/mortgage, utilities, phones, etc.) and as a Christian they need to pay these bills in a timely manner, just like the rest of us. So… if you want to give away your CDs, go ahead. But don’t be a quick judge of those who don’t. Besides, if we, as Christians, don’t support our gospel musicians, we might lose them to the world, because they pay the secular artists and don’t complain about high ticket prices or high dollar recordings. And gospel musicians have to pay studio prices for those, too. And gas and diesel doesn’t come free. If they don’t get paid - how will they pay to fill the tank to come to the church or concert hall?
So, Christians - go out and buy your tickets, purchase from the product tables so we can keep our gospel groups on the road and people can hear the word and worship the Lord and lead the unsaved to the saving power of Christ!!
