SN Cover Trivia

Nate brought something interesting to my attention this morning via email.  The Singing News cover artist for July is the Mark Trammell Quartet.  This means that Pat Barker has now been on the SN cover twice this year, but with two different groups (Dixie Echoes in January, MTQ in July).  Off the top of my head, I can’t come up with another singer who has graced the cover of the magazine with multiple groups in the same year.  Can any of you?

Pat Barker Named Bass For Mark Trammell Quartet

Mark Trammell has announced that Pat Barker, formerly with the Dixie Echoes, is the bass singer that will be added to form the Mark Trammell Quartet.  Barker is one of the best young basses in SG, and will be quite the addition to Mark’s group.  Pat’s first date will be around Feb. 1.  Congratulations to the Mark Trammell Quartet and to Pat Barker!
