This show has hosted gospel house music artists in the past as well as "secular" artists who perform gospel music. This is the first pure gospel group to visit Brunch in the Basement with JaVonne & Terez. Half Mile Home is a group out of Akron, Ohio. The came on the scene in 2004 and have hit Billboards Top Ten on the Gospel chart since then. The group has a definite R&B feel, but the lyrics are about love and faith in the Lord. They have a powerful message that is sorely needed right now in the world. TCan't wait to chat with them in the Basement with JaVonne & Terez!
Ain’t much (and by ain't much we really mean nothing) we enjoy talking about more than Jesus and in todays episode we talk at length about the LORD and our expression of love for him via musical praise. This is a dope episode in general, but especially if you have ever been through anything. Most of us recognize that religion and gospel music have carried us through some dark time and some amazing moments and we were blessed to have Gospel Recording Group Half Mile Home in the studio with us to share all things gospel and address a few of their dark and amazing times. They take us on a ride covering their time with Jodeci and Missy in the basement all the way to praising the holy name of the lord up to building their own appliance business empire. All things are possible through faith and Half Mile Home is a shining example of that. Strap up and buckle in for an awesome episode with an inspirational and enlightening guest in Half Mile Home.
