Early 2009 the Sonshiners Quartet signed with the award winning Homeland Entertainment Group, with Bill Traylor, Bob Jones Jr. and Nick Bruno; signing specifically to the Riversong Label.

DAVE BOYER & THE TULSA PRAISE ORCHESTRA

Saturday, October 16, 7:00 p.m.

First Baptist Church, Collinsville, OK

With a voice like that of Frank Sinatra, accompanied by Christian "big band" at its finest, this will be a concert that you and all of Collinsville will enjoy.  Invite your neighbors! Dave Boyer, a native of York, PA, was well-known in his younger years as the Master of Ceremonies at the "500 Club" in Atlantic City, New Jersey. At the advice of his manager, he changed his name to Joey Stevens and success came quickly. He performed with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis, Sammy Davis, Jr. and Milton Berle. He also appeared with Martin & Lewis on the Today Show when it originated from Atlantic City.| But with the success, Dave became addicted to alcohol and other drugs. His life became self-centered with fame and fortune. In 1964, his wife June, left him, taking their daughter with her. Less than a year later, Dave‘s father, a minister in York, Pennsylvania, passed away. At that point, his self-inflicted hurt became too much. He left the 500 Club that night and drove towards a little town in Pennsylvania where he hoped to kill himself on the railroad tracks. On the way, however, he passed a little church that brought back happy memories of his childhood, his father and family. Hurting and crying, he fell to his knees, and then forced himself to a pay phone where he called his brother who was now pastor of his father‘s church. His brother drove out to meet him and in the wee hours of the morning after a lot of praying, Joey Stevens was laid to rest forever and Dave Boyer was reborn in Christ. And Dave’s wife June and their daughter returned to him after a two year separation. The Dave Boyer story, ”So Long Joey,“ was released by Gospel Films. Dave Boyer began using his music as a tool to share his amazing story. Dave's unique style of Big Band music reaches people of all ages. His powerful story has opened up doors for hundreds of youth programs all over the US. Dave's musical styles are continuing to gain popularity with people from all walks of life in all age groups.  Dave performs with church bands, orchestras, and solo. He has performed and recorded several albums with legendary composer and director Ralph Carmichael. Dave has performed at the White House for President's Ford, Carter, and Reagan. He most recently has performed with the Tulsa Praise Orchestra.  This is one concert you won’t want to miss! In 1995 a call went out to musicians in the Tulsa area. A new Big Band was forming. The idea was to have a band of Christian instrumentalists perform a variety of Big Band style tunes with an emphasis on Gospel music. The band was formed by trumpeter Bob Archer, who continues today in the role of General Manager. "We quickly put together a repertoire of tunes and held our first concert at First Baptist Church in Tulsa". Since that humble start, the band has performed over 350 concerts throughout the Midwest, from Tulsa to Branson, Kansas City, Dallas, OKC, and Santa Fe, New Mexico. TPO, as the band is also known, has performed with top names in the Gospel music realm. Names like Dave Boyer, Ernestine Dillard, Phil Driscoll as well as local favorites like, Glory - an outstanding vocal ensemble, Jack Spratt & 7 Mile Road, Sandra Hopkins and Alice Coe all combine to bring a powerful music experience to our audiences. Over the years one of our favorite themes is to honor our nations Veterans. In 2010 the band will take our "Let Freedom Swing" concert series to Military Bases throughout the region. For the past 15 years the guys and gals who make up the Tulsa Praise Orchestra have been delighting audiences with a unique  brand of upbeat, Gospel and Patriotic music in the Big Band Style.
