built 638 days ago
From the small beginnings over 60 years ago, The Canton Spirituals have helped to revolutionize the modern Gospel quartet sound with a powerful combination of smooth harmonies and joyous lyrics layered with rousing music. The Canton Spirituals are true pioneers in Gospel music and although this is a new project, it is at the very heart of whom this group has always been and who they are today. After years of establishing a signature sound and a respected artistry, The Canton Spirituals continue to surpass goals and expectations while maintaining their signature sound and style.

With their new project, Driven, their third on Verity Records, the group dwells on their trademark sound. Led by Harvey Watkins Jr., the bluesy quartet makes traditional, hip, and the tried and true, contemporary.
