Argentine Church of the Nazarene hosts a free southern gospel concert featuring Souls Harbor, with a voluntary love offering received during the event. Previously slated to feature Adam’s Voice, the program now showcases Souls Harbor and is part of the Stella Heavner Memorial Concert Series. Souls Harbor is a trio from Southeast Michigan made up of Ron Brown on baritone, his son David Brown on tenor and lead, and David’s wife Joy Brown on lead. The group’s roots trace back to the early 1990s family ensemble Tri-State Quartet. After that chapter closed, Souls Harbor formed in 2000 with Ron and David. Following a few changes in the tenor role, Joy joined after she and David married in 2005, creating the lineup heard today. In recent years, the trio has expanded its reach by releasing music to radio, with several songs charting with DJs across the country. Performance highlights include appearances at the National Quartet Convention’s Artist Showcase, Dollywood’s HarvestFest, The Biblical Times Theatre in Pigeon Forge, and the God & Country Theatre in Branson. They also champion southern gospel in their region, bringing well-known groups such as the Mark Trammell Quartet, The Whisnants, Greater Vision, Tribute Quartet, and The Perrys to Southeast Michigan for two decades. Their focus is for listeners to leave feeling they have been in a worship service rather than at a fair, reflecting the heart of their ministry.
