It may be the captivating blend of voices in harmony, or possibly the timeless acoustical instrumentation or their unique ability to share America’s true original music. Regardless, those who have ever experienced the music of bluegrass Gospel group Harvest, recognize that upon hearing this talented group of young men, they are experiencing something truly special.

Collectively known as Harvest, Mark Millsaps, Bryan Hooper, Caleb Smith, Marty Price and 16-year-old Tyler Kirkpatrick, who recently joined the group as dobro player, are quickly turning heads and ears with their rich vocal ability and exceptional instrumentation, not to mention thought-provoking songs.

The group’s debut recording was released in the summer of 2004 and was produced by legendary producer, Michael Sykes, who has produced recordings for such popular recording artists as the Oak Ridge Boys and the Gaither Vocal Band. The recording, “John 4:35” was named Album of the Year by the PowerGrass Bluegrass Gospel Music Awards. Additionally, group member Caleb Smith received the Male Vocalist of the Year honor, as well as the Guitar Player of the Year Award. The group also received the Song of the Year honor for their popular tune, “He Wouldn’t Stay Dead.” Additionally, Harvest was invited to participate in the International Bluegrass Music Association's (IBMA) annual music spectacular, which is bluegrass music’s premier event.

No doubt, even greater success lies ahead for this talented Blue Ridge, GA, based group with the release of their upcoming recording “Pressing On”, set to be released early this summer on the RSI Music label. The project was produced by multi-talented producer Ben Isaacs and features guests appearances by Isaacs, as well as talented female vocalists Sonya Isaacs and Charlotte Ritchie. The recording features a number of songs written by group members Caleb Smith and Marty Price and also includes several Bluegrass Gospel standards. According to RSI President Bob Rodgers, the expectations are very high for this recording and for the future of Harvest. “These guys are so talented,” Rodgers states. “There are so many doors that are opening for them, and we know that is a direct result of God’s blessing and the willingness of Harvest to follow where He leads. We think this recording truly captures their talents and abilities. The sky is the limit for Harvest.”

It is true that Harvest has experienced a certain amount of success within the bluegrass music genre; however, it’s most obvious that their music is destined to become a household name among bluegrass music lovers. All who hear them recognize that the musical entourage, collectively known as Harvest, truly is something special!
