Legendary quartet’s celebration to be a time of musical treasures and thanksgiving

LAWRENCEBURG, Ky. – Alan Kendall was a big fan of the Kingsmen Quartet while he was growing up but didn’t see himself as part of the legendary southern gospel quartet. And he probably never envisioned being onstage during the group’s 70th Anniversary Hometown Celebration.

“I always wanted to sing but I didn’t think it was something I could do until I was in my 20s,” remembers Kendall, the quartet’s baritone since 2018, “but when I started singing, I thought, ‘Boy, the Kingsmen would be an ideal place to go sing.'”
