Bluegrass Gospel Express

Updated May 15, 2012

Our latest CD, "Salvation Station" is now available!  The MP3 file below will give you a little taste.

Here's the band as we are today: top, left to right: Jerry Thompson, Bill Adams; bottom, left to right: Steve Silvati, Mary Sue Joy, Curt Moss and David Dixon.  Linc hasn't been able to perform with us for a while and isn't in the picture, but he's never far in our hearts.

Bluegrass Gospel Express began its ministry in a small way in 1992 and since then God's blessing has allowed us to grow and spread His message in song and testimony.  We are thankful for the opportunities He has given us over the years to serve Him and to meet many wonderful people.

If you would like the "BLUEGRASS GOSPEL EXPRESS" to visit your church have your pastor or music director contact us by calling Jerry Thompson at 301-373-8370 or sending an email to bluegrass.gospel.express@gmail.com

ABOUT US

We are a Bluegrass Gospel band dedicated to lifting up the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in song and music.

The founder of our group and the one who keeps us in touch with our roots is Linc Snyder.  His authentic singing and guitar playing leaves no doubt that his heart is where it belongs.  Mary Sue Joy began singing and playing the banjo with Linc during breaks at work and when Jerry Thompson heard them sing at the Hollywood Church of the Nazarene he asked if he join them.  Jerry started singing in his church choir while a child and always took every oportunity he could find to share his talent.  David Dixon has been singing and playing guitar and mandolin in bluegrass bands since his youth and was a member of "Glory Bound" before adding his talents to our little group.  Steve Silvati, a good musician, good man, and perfect fit, is "the man" on the bass and has been very active is his church including rocking the house with his great bass and guitar work in their worship team.  When Linc's health slowed him down we were honored to have Curt Moss step in with his outstanding talents on guitar (and just about anything else) and great vocals that he has honed over the years since the age of nine.  He has performed and recorded with "Loafers Glory", "Flying Blind Bluegrass" and others.  Bill Adams, also a former member of "Glory Bound", and known all over the area for his work with the "Grace Ole Opry" has recently become a full time member of the band, adding his great three-finger banjo work to the sound.
