The Golden Road Quartet has shared the stage with some of Southern Gospel's finer singers, such as the Mark Trammell Trio, The Chuck Wagon Gang, Eternal Vision, The Lester's, Florida Boys, Gordon Mote, Brian Free & Assurance, Legacy 5 and the Monument Quartet. 

In September 2005, the Quartet had the privilege of participating in a Lamon Records' national talent search at the National Quartet Convention in Louisville, KY of which we were one point short of placing first.  We have been fortunate enough to have been featured in a full page article in the "Rural Missouri" back in June 2005 and were recently featured on the cover of "Streets of Gold" Southern Gospel magazine in the May-June-July 2007 edition that is distributed to over 38 states.  The Quartet is looking forward to continuing their ministry for years to come.

The people that represent the Golden Road Quartet are as follows: Stephanie Clark, tenor; Dwayne Watkins, lead; David Sappington, baritone; David Watkins, bass; & Lance Hamann, pianist.

Stephanie Clark joined the Quartet in May, 2008.  Stephanie, and her husband Curtis, live in Doniphan where Stephanie has lived all her life.  She has two children, Stephan (who is married to Samantha) and Brandon.  She is also a step-mother to Nicki, Holly, and Cody.  Stephanie and Curtis are active in their local congregation at His Place and also with A Thousand Hills Cowboy Church located in Poplar Bluff.  When Stephanie isn't singing with the Golden Road Quartet, she and Curtis enjoy riding their horses and trail-riding.  Stephanie is employed by the Dental Arts Groups in Poplar Bluff as a dental assistant and Curtis works at the State Highway Department in Naylor and has horse auctions that keep him busy.

I am looking forward to what God has in store for this group." David also added that "I am so glad that God has spared me so I can share the "Good News" of what he has done in my life and still does today!"
