From Nashville, TN comes an exciting male group called Tribute
Quartet. Combining energy, talent, and enthusiasm for their craft
with their calling and desire to minister to others, Tribute Quartet
is quickly being established as a premier musical entity in the
gospel arena.
Group manager Gary Casto says, "It is this group's desire
to offer Southern Gospel Music at its finest to encourage and
inspire the audiences to whom we
sing. It is the goal of Tribute Quartet to carry on the grand tradition that
is Southern Gospel Music, and do it in a way that respects those who have carried
this gospel torch before us, while at the same time producing our own fresh
and unique sound."
A "tribute" is an expression of honor, respect, or high regard. So,
it's no coincidence the name Tribute Quartet so aptly fits these men and their
mission to honor the music, singers, and Spiritual messages that have so definitively
shaped gospel music down through the years. Often humorous, never predictable,
and always upbeat, the message and music of Tribute Quartet will leave you
refreshed and uplifted.
Lead vocalist Gary Casto, who originally hails from West Virginia, brings to
Tribute Quartet over twenty years of experience in the Southern Gospel Music
genre. His ability to effectively deliver a song vocally as well as emcee the
groups' concerts makes him a natural favorite on stage with fans everywhere.
Off stage, Gary's leadership and management qualities are equally important to
the group. His love for Southern Gospel music is evidenced in his tireless work
for such organizations as the Southern Gospel Music Association, Southern Gospel
Music Guild and his work with the National Quartet Convention, all the while
handling the management duties of Tribute Quartet. Prior to Tribute, Gary's most
noted position among southern gospel groups was that of tenor vocalist with the
Wilburns. Gary resides in Hendersonville, TN.
Baritone and pianist Josh Singletary brings his smooth vocals and stellar piano
prowess to Tribute Quartet. Originally from Raiford, Florida and now living in
Hendersonville, TN, Josh has endeared himself to countless fans who love his
music and his personality. Josh is responsible for the majority of humorous moments
in this group, but his love for laughter is truly surpassed by his love for the
Lord and for making people forget their problems for a while when they come to
a Tribute concert. Don't be fooled by his gift for making people smile. This
young man is actually a classically-trained pianist who has had the distinct
honor of participating multiple years on the highly acclaimed Pianorama showcase
at the National Quartet Convention. Like fellow group member Gary Casto, Josh
came to national prominence when he was with the Wilburns, serving as their pianist.
The rich bass tones of Dennis Dugger complete Tribute's outstanding quartet sound.
Dennis, who lives in Bald Knob, AR with his wife and four children, has a clear,
distinct bass voice--one that blends well with quartet singing but is also of
superb solo quality. Dennis has been singing for many years and is excited to
be living his lifelong goal of traveling on a professional and national level.
Those who meet Dennis are immediately impressed by his sincerity and his compassion
for others. He has a heart for seeing souls saved and making a positive impact
on audiences through his music. His demeanor and his voice are both natural assets
to Tribute Quartet and its goal to encourage and inspire others.
Vocalist Brian Alvey brings not only a smooth tenor voice to Tribute Quartet
but an excitement on stage by playing multiple instruments. Although Brian has
only been traveling full time with Tribute a short time he has already won the
hearts of the people all across the country. Brian hails from Jasper Indiana.
