Gospel music group Mark Lowry & The Martins are on the road together and will come to Cedar Park Church in Bothell at 7 p.m. on June 12.
“It’s a lifelong dream,” Lowery said. “It’s going to be an exciting year. We had a great time touring together in 2014, and I look forward to being on stage together again in 2015. I love just getting to hear The Martins sing every night. I’m their biggest fan.”
The history between Mark and sibling trio Joyce, Jonathan and Judy Martin spans more than two decades and can be traced back to a cassette tape The Martins gave him at a national convention in 1992. Mark and fellow Gaither Vocal Band-mate Michael English were so impressed, they insisted Gloria Gaither listen to an impromptu audition of the group which they held in the women’s restroom. Gloria then told husband Bill and the rest is history as the Gaither helped introduce The Martins to the World.
Renowned pianist Stan Whitmire will also accompany Mark and The Martins on tour, and according to Lowry, fans can expect a little of everything during this special evening.
“We mix it up quite a bit. The Martins and I sing together. I kick Jonathan out and sing with just the sisters on a couple songs. We have so much fun,” Lowery said.
