The PromisedLand Quartet (2000-Present)
The PromisedLand Quartet is a traditional quartet from Luray, Virginia that was formed in 2000 by Gene Hamman, Joey Wilson, Kevin Minnick and Wesley Allen, with the initial goal of only touring locally on weekends, but have expanded to a more national level.
The men who initially formed the quartet had come from other ministries and only intended to do one weekend a month. This arrangement lasted about three months, and then the travel became a more regular occurrence.
Original bass singer Wesley Allen left the group after two years to attend college, and the hire of Joe Brinkley to the position solidified the group's longest running lineup. During this time, the group released a steady stream of singles that had chart success, and 2006's Carved In Stone project even received a Dove Award consideration.
Changes came in 2010, when founding baritone Kevin Minnick departed after 10 years, and then again in 2012 after bass Joe Brinkley ended his 10-year run. More transitions occurred a few years later when baritone Nathan Potts left in 2014 after four years, and KC Armstrong stepped down as bass in January 2019 after almost six years.
