Artists
Several groups have made progressive Southern gospel their genre of choice. One of the most popular and outstanding of these are the Crabb Family. With origins that go back to the country gospel genre this group has now become one of the leaders in progressive Southern gospel and has even crossed over to contemporary Christian as well.
Another group that has made a huge impact on the progressive Southern gospel genre would be The Isaacs. This group is deeply rooted in Bluegrass gospel but over the last decade has erupted onto the progressive scene with such hits as "Friend To The End", "Stand Still", "Carry Me" and the a capella spiritual "I Have A Father Who Can".
Other artists in the progressive Southern gospel genre include The Talley Trio, The Jody Brown Indian Family, Keith Caldwell, The Hoppers, and The Martins.

Famous quotes containing the word artists:
“... the great artists ... do not want security, egoistic or materialistic.”
—Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
“The artistic temperament is a disease that affects amateurs.... Artists of a large and wholesome vitality get rid of their art easily, as they breathe easily or perspire easily. But in artists of less force, the thing becomes a pressure, and produces a definite pain, which is called the artistic temperament.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“For us artists there waits the joyous compromise through art with all that wounded or defeated us in daily life; in this way, not to evade destiny, as the ordinary people try to do, but to fulfil it in its true potential—the imagination.”
—Lawrence Durrell (1912–1990)
