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

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.
