Creekside Gospel
Music Convention 2014 is in the books! What a great time to be a Gospel music
fan at the Gospel music capital, Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Hundreds gathered at
the Smoky Mountain Convention Center from November 3rd through 6th
to experience music, fellowship, fun…and doughnuts!
Monday night began with set-up in the
Exhibit Hall of artist booths. It’s always fun to get together with the artists
before the concerts. There had been snow in the area on the weekend but we were
glad that Monday was sunny and mild. The evening concert began at 5:30pm to a
crowd who were excited and enthusiastic. At 8:00pm, we welcomed our honored
guest, Little Willie Wynn and all of his friends for a “Bash” like Creekside
has never seen before. Laughter, fun and a whole lot of great music from Woody
Wright, The Kramers, The Tennesseans and Sweetwater members. What a terrific
evening!
Wednesday we had
the Morris Music Group Showcase, the Red Back Hymn Book Choir and the special
evening concert. On Thursday, we were privileged to have Ken and Jean Grady of
Gospel Music Today do live tapings for their show. They had been with us all
week and also worked with us in the producing of the Diamond Awards. What a
precious couple! Our last evening concert was a special night with music from
20 groups and an audience who didn’t want to leave.
New this year was
the Midnight Prayer service, from Monday night through Wednesday night. It was
a memorable time of prayer and praise from artists and fans who joined together
to pray for the singing and for any needs within the group. On Tuesday night,
those who had listened to the Strictly Southern Show with Vonda Easley were
treated with doughnuts before the prayer service. There was more than one set
of sticky hands!
We want to thank all of the artists, fans and volunteers who
joined together to make this a wonderful event. Be sure to check this space
next month where we will begin to tell you about next year’s event! And don’t

“Creekside Gospel Music Convention 2014 was everything I
expected and more. Great singing, great showcases, and what a
blessing Midnight Prayer was each evening. I am making plans now to
attend Creekside Gospel Music Convention 2015! Meet me there.” – Vonda
Easley, Strictly Southern Show with Vonda Easley
“It is always a joy working with the artists at Creekside,
the ones who have become close friends after three years together at this
event, as well as the new artists experiencing Creekside for the first time
this year. I look forward to the continued growth in this event and the
introduction of new ministries to the Creekside family.”- Jonathan Edwards,
Faith’s Journey
“Creekside was a great time of fellowship and getting
together with all the artists and fans. It was wonderful to see the auditorium
full each night and to feel the enthusiasm of the crowd. Midnight Prayer really
caught on. The Diamond Awards were spectacular. All in all, the event was even
better this year. I can’t wait until next year! Join me!”- Rob Patz,
