Dan Andrews
Baritone
Born in “Music City, USA”, (Nashville, TN) on July 26th, 1950. Dan was raised on the music of Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Jim Reeves and other
country music legends of the day; as well as being neighbors to some other famous folk like the Hemphills, the Carter Family and Randy Scruggs.
Dan became interested in gospel music from watching the “Old Time Singing Convention” on TV. The musical influences in Dan’s life were his mother and his
Aunt Marian who sang together as a duet. Dan majored in music education at Middle Tennessee State University and sang with a number of groups
and ensembles before joining Harmony.
Dan accepted the Lord at the age of 12 on Palm Sunday 1962. After many years of service as a young man, he fell away from the church for a while. In
a Christmas Service in 1978, he felt the Lord’s urging to once again turn his life over to Him. Since then, he has served in an active way, serving in ministry
and on Church boards and through the ministry of music evangelism. His desire is to stay close to the Word in his daily life.

Dan has been privileged to share the stage with such gospel legends as the Speers, the Bishops, James Blackwood, and the Dove Brothers.

David Smith
Pianist / Tenor
David was born in Dallas, TX on July 12th, 1978.
At an early age David discovered his love of old time Southern Gospel by listening to the music of the Statesmen and Blackwood Brothers. He began
playing the piano at the ripe old age of 12. One Sunday morning (about that time) while at a church service in Wills Point, TX, David was
encouraged by his mother to let Christ come into his heart. David, like many of us, said, “Can’t I wait until tonight?” His mother told
him that we are not sure we have tonight. So, David (remembering his mother’s driving ability) realized that she might just be right and knelt at
the altar that morning and asked Jesus to come into his heart.
David has had the privilege of sharing the stage with many gospel greats as well. He has performed with the Dove Brothers, Jake Hess, Danny
Funderburk and the Happy Goodmans. In August of 2000, during a request time at Will Rogers Auditorium in Ft. Worth, TX, David was called up on the
stage to request a song by the Goodmans. Well, anyone who knows David knows he took it one step further and not only requested “The Lighthouse” but
he also told them that he wanted to play it for them as they sang it. Well…they let him and the audience loved it. That is definitely a
special memory to have in your file!
David and his wife Andrea currently reside in Greenville, TX.
