CHARLOTTE RITCHIE
CLICK HERE TO BOOK THIS ARTIST

Charlotte Penhollow-Ritchie began singing at the age of fourteen. Three years later, Rex Nelon asked her to sing soprano with The Nelons, one of the most respected names in gospel music. Charlotte quickly became a favorite with gospel music fans wherever they sang. Rex was on one of Charlotte's mentors and she loved singing with his group and remained with them until 1996.

Charlotte has met, fallen in love with, and married the percussionist for Jeff and Sheri Easter, Greg Ritchie. Traveling with the two different Southern Gospel Groups does not afford a couple much time together, so in 1996 Charlotte resigned her position with The Nelons. She resigned to be with her husband, and in just a short time Jeff and Sheri hired Charlotte to sing with them. She has been a vital part of that group now for the last several years. The Ritchie's and the Easters have a very special relationship and love for one another.

Two years ago, God blessed Greg and Charlotte with their first child, a son named Landon. They reside in Lincolnton, GA.

"Closer", her new solo project, shows the many different vocal styles of this special lady and offers a unique glimpse into her heart.

Gloria Gaither says of her new project ,"When I hear the term "voice of an angel", I think of Charlotte's voice and her face too. The great thing is that she is that kind of person that makes me happy to think of when I hear such a voice. Her life and her message match that sweet voice"!
