We not be able to enjoy the company of the good folks at Mt. Zion in October as we had hoped.

Bluegrass Gospel Express began it's 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.

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 when they worked at a hospital together. Jerry Thompson started singing in the church choir while a child and just kept going until he found Linc and Mary Sue and turned the duet into a real singing group. David Dixon has been singing and playing guitar and mandolin in bluegrass bands since his youth. Steve Silvati, a good musician, good man, and perfect fit, is "the man" on the bass! Last, but far from least, we are honored to have Curt Moss and his outstanding talents on guitar and vocals that he has honed over the years since the age of eight. He has performed and recorded with "Loafer's Glory" and "Flying Blind". Bill Adams of "Grace Ole Opry" fame is now playing banjo with us since Aaron Malone has taken his fiddle to new heights with the Fitzmaurice bluegrass band.

YOUR FARE'S BEEN PAID Covering several years of collected songs and talented musicians, we know you'll enjoy it. Three banjo players, three bass players, four guitar players, an out-of-this-world fiddle and eight different lead singers make this our most diverse and exciting project yet. Released at the end of 2005, it includes 18 songs of the many we had been performing since our previous project. It sounds great, very much due to the expert work of our engineer, Jeff Covert, at Wally Cleaver's Studio. Jeff even helped us hook up with Ed Dickerson who added some great fiddle to a few of the songs. “My Home’s a Sight to See” - Fifteen years ago Linc Snyder was close to retirement from his job and for years had been making music for people on his own and with whomever he could get to join him. Even then he found time during lunch breaks to introduce Mary Sue to the guitar and to harmony singing. He inspired her to pick up a banjo and from there the band grew. Throughout that growth Linc has been the rock we could all lean on and one who was always ready with songs that would lift hearts to God. “My Home’s a Sight to See” is a current favorite of his and touches him as he sings it as much as it does the listeners. This song is typical of the sweet melodies and lyrics that convey his Christian spirit. The rest of Bluegrass Gospel Express want to express here our love, respect and appreciation for Abraham Lincoln Snyder.
