We've done it! We have added a whole new dimension and it has a strong impact on the performance. You know a "picture is always worth a thousand words" and with this setup each song has a sound track, plus a picture, plus words for the congregation to sing-along, plus my horn on top. The presentation employs a powerful new laptop computer and the SundayPlus audio/visual program. We bring a projector and screen but if the house already has them we can plug into their system. Just a reminder ... since we are not carrying a P.A. system we will always need to coordinate with the house audio/visual person.
We debuted the new system in 2007 and it has had tremendous reception. Over and over we hear comments like, "This is so powerful! You're definitely heading in the right direction. There is no doubt your work is truly anointed."
The key here is that it is no longer just me standing on stage and playing my horn along with the tracks from my projects. Now we project the words to every song on screen and encourage the congregation to sing along. Participation by the congregation enables everyone to receive such a blessing.
Our "Old Tyme Gospel Sax Sing-Along" project is our first designed from the ground up for the sing-along concept. We were so fortunate to include the Carol Lee Singers from the Grand Ole Opry on all 10 songs.
We would love to come share with your congregation. Please let us hear from you as soon as possible.
Shelton's latest CD is now here! "Old Tyme Gospel Sax Sing-Along" with The Carol Lee Singers is sing-along all the way! Be sure to listen to the music samples.
This CD goes all out to combine Country with Gospel Sax. It's all instrumental and features all the traditional Country instruments along with Alto & Baritone Sax.
This is Shelton's first Gospel Sax CD, "Hymns of the Faith." It contains some wonderful gospel hymns ... both up-tempo and "easy listening."
