THE PRIMITIVE QUARTET
Stay Their Arms
DESCRIPTION:
Even the most storied performing career must come to an end, and for The Primitive Quartet that time has finally come. As a farewell, the group is offering one last set of recordings. “After 50 years of music ministry, our touring days are coming to an end,” says The Primitive Quartet. “We hope our music will live on and be a blessing by way of our recorded songs. “Stay Their Arms” is the final recording that we made. Thanks to all who have supported us these many years. We love you!”
KEY SELLING POINTS
- The Primitive Quartet began in 1973, when two sets of Western North Carolina brothers, Reagan and Larry Riddle and Furman and Norman Wilson, carried a guitar and mandolin with them on a fishing trip, where they discovered a love and a gift for harmony singing.
- With the encouragement of their parents and pastor, they began to sing together at area churches as the Riddle-Wilson Quartet. In 1978, the group added personnel to the ensemble and changed their name to The Primitive Quartet—and since, have been a full-time touring and ministry outfit.
- Over the years, the quartet has toured across the United States and overseas, recorded scores of albums, released more than a dozen videos and DVDs, and made their “Hominy Valley Singing Grounds” in Candler, North Carolina, into a popular home for gospel singing events.
