What religion is the Redeemed Quartet?

MILLERSBURG — The Redeemed Quartet, a professional southern gospel quartet with Indiana roots, will be singing at the Millersburg School gym, 203 E. Main St., May 14 at 6:30 p.m.

Admission is free, but an offering will be taken to benefit Kids 4 Christ, which provides free Bible classes for elementary students in the Fairfield District.

The Redeemed Quartet is made up of two sets of brothers who have been singing together since 2014. They have traveled from Alaska and Manitoba to Florida. They enjoy traditional four-part harmony with life-changing lyrics. Songs include timeless hymns and gospel classics, as well as their own compositions. The Redeemed Quartet has a large internet following with their music videos on YouTube.

Kids 4 Christ is an outreach of the Clinton Benton Jackson Christian Education Association (CBJCEA). Their purpose, according to the group, is to share the love of God through providing non-denominational Bible classes for all students at Millersburg, Benton and New Paris Elementary whose parents permit attendance. These released-time classes follow the guidelines of Indiana Code 20-33-2-19, the group stated in a press release. Bible classes have been provided to schools in the Millersburg community in one form or another since 1929. Currently there are three teachers and many volunteers involved in the program. Classes are always provided without charge.

Doors open at 6 p.m. Light concessions and CDs of the quartet will be available.

A Richmond woman got a special treat earlier this month when members of the Southern Gospel quartet “Redeemed” visited her at her home as they passed through town. But if you ask the singers, they might say they were the ones who got the treat.

After concerts in Tennessee and North Carolina, the Redeemed quartet passed through Kentucky — and arrangements were made for them to stop in to see Emma Woosley, one of their biggest fans, at her home on Richmond’s north side. Emma treated the young men to pizza and cookies and, after a visit and a few selfies, the group members were on the road again.

Emma’s daughter, Karen Woosley, discovered a video of one of the quartet’s performances online a couple years ago, and was so impressed with the young men’s Statler Brother-style performance that she shared it with her mother.

After the mother and daughter saw the Redeemed quartet in concert for the first time in Frankfort, they spoke with the members, and immediately formed a friendship. Emma and Karen became instant fans, and now they travel to see the Redeemed quartet any time they’re in concert within a two-hour drive of Richmond.

The Redeemed quartet is comprised of two sets of brothers from southeastern Indiana — Ben Duncan, 22, sings lead; Nate Duncan, 20, sings tenor; Caleb Koble, 21, sings baritone; and Josh Koble, 19, sings bass.

The young men started their musical career in 2014 with nothing but their voices and their sound equipment. They promised themselves that if they didn’t find success within a year, they would sell their equipment and return to their normal lives. Three years later, they’ve toured all over the United States and Canada, with only a very few openings on their calendar.

The group has recorded two albums, independently, in spite of offers from record companies because they don’t want to profit from their ministry. You can purchase a CD from their website.  They accept love offerings at their concerts to help pay for their living and traveling expenses.

For years, the American Christian group the Redeemed Quartet has been spreading the gospel by performing for millions of people all around the United States.

The Quartet consists of the four best friends Nate Duncan, Ben Duncan, Caleb Koble and Josh Koble of whom the two first ones are brothers and the two latter ones are as well.

Since the beginning of their musical careers in 2014, the Redeemed Quartet’s mission has been to be a light in the darkness and lift the weary traveler. The four young men also aim to showcase the blend of four-part harmony that has come to define the group.

After posting a video of them singing the gospel music classic “Just a Little Talk with Jesus” in 2015, the Redeemed Quartet grew to fame.

In just a few months, the quartet reached 40,000 followers on Facebook and millions of views on their video.

As the group became increasingly popular, the demand for live performances increased, leading to concerts all over the United States.

Before the coronavirus outbreak, the Redeemed Quartet performed 50 to 60 concerts a year.

“Songs open people’s hearts”

Nate Duncan, Ben Duncan, Caleb Koble and Josh Koble all grew up in a Christian environment, and they are happy that they can spread the gospel through singing.

“A sermon certainly can reach people, but we have found that a song also can open up people’s hearts to the gospel,” Ben Duncan told The Christian Post.

The group’s first concert was in Columbus, Indiana, where they played eight songs.

“We were scared half to death,” Ben Duncan recalls.

Since the beginning, the Redeemed Quartet has been performing gospel songs with a southern twist, since that is the type of music they grew up listening to.

“A gospel or country quartet is pretty much where you are going to hear four-part male harmony the most, and that is something we specialize in,” Ben Duncan says.

Family friendships

The four guys became friends when they were kids, as their fathers were friends too. Both of their fathers were pastors and held services in their homes for decades.

Here, Nate Duncan, Ben Duncan, Caleb Koble and Josh Koble sometimes performed, but it was not until 2014 that the four young men thought of performing for bigger crowds after they went to a southern gospel convention.

From then on, the four started rehearsing for a year before they went on bigger stages.

“We had a lot of fun hollering around in our attic in the beginning. I am sure we thought we were a lot better than we were… Listening to the stuff we did, if we knew then what we know now, we probably never would have kept singing,” Nate Duncan says.
