Saved by Grace

Saved by Grace to perform at Halifax County Heritage and Antique Machinery Festival.   Based out of Scottsburg Baptist Church, Saved by Grace is a Southern Gospel group that organized several years ago.  Ricky Gordon, lead guitarist and bass singer, says the group performs at revivals, gospel sings, festivals, and other such events.  Gordon says, “The Inspirations, the Kingdom Heirs, as well as the Gaither Gospel Quartet all inspired our musical style”.  According to Gordon, the group slightly rearranges favorite hymns and adds a bit of old cowboy harmony similar to that of the Sons of the Pioneers.   For more information about Saved by Grace, visit their website at www.wearesavedbygrace.com.
