Tribute to area bluegrass artist Feb. 3

The St. Stephens Baptist Church and Victory Grove Pentecostal Church of Wagarville, along with family and friends would like to invite you to a day of Celebration in honor of Jerry Sullivan at 11 a.m. on Feb. 3 at the St. Stephens Baptist Church in St. Stephens.

Dinner will be served at 11:30 a.m. Everyone is encouraged to bring a covered dish.

Long being a fixture in Washington County Jerry has taken his music and gospel songs all over the world. He started writing gospel songs in 1949 and together with The Sullivan Family toured the United States as one of the First families of Bluegrass Gospel Music.

In 1978 Tammy joined her father to make up the gospel group Jerry and Tammy Sullivan. In 1991, they were the first group to record for the Country Music Foundation, the critically acclaimed "A Joyful Noise."

The latest project is on his own record label San Rydge Music entitled "Jerry and Tammy Sullivan."
