4 The Light Gospel Quartet

We are a Southern Gospel group from East Indianapolis, IN singing old time hymns mixed with classic and modern Southern Gospel favorites. We have an uplifting message and we share a little historical background and some of the short stories behind the writing of these hymns. For over twenty years, we continue to share the Gospel in song. Philippians 4:4 says, "Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say, Rejoice'. We are thankful that our God is using us and allowing us the opportunity to use our lives to sing joyfully in the sharing of His love with others. When have fun when we sing and that joy is contagious, and before you know it, you too will be tapping your feet, bobbing your head, clapping you hands, and lifting up the Lord singing songs that many of us have grown up to know. We can bring our own sound system to include an indoor concert set up and even additional speakers and amps for a (link hidden)dium sized outdoor or festival type setting. We are a high-energy 4 part harmony gospel quartet and we would love to come to your next event, large or small. During the Christmas season, our tenor Mike also works with musician gospel friends in coordinating an annual touring Christmas special with multiple artists and musicians. Contact us for more info. Blessings and hope to hear from you soon. - Mike, Tim, Darvin and Don, 4 The Light Quartet.

Tim Clark, Bass
Darvin Fenter, Lead
Don Paff, Baritone
Michael Hoyt, Tenor

Our quartet pretty much just needs two plug-ins. Tenor Michael Hoyt has a background in live theatre (BA - Jordan College of Fine Arts at Butler University), stage lighting, video production, professional sound production and has coordinated and/or worked live concert productions and events at the Conseco Fieldhouse (currently Bankers Life), Black River Coliseum, Southeast Missouri Show Me Center, Paramount Theatre, Reardon Auditorium, Clowes Memorial Hall, Marriott Convention Center, Indiana Convention Center, Murat Theatre, Indiana State Fair, Boone County Fair, The Eagle Center, multiple schools, White River State Park and over 70 different church venues. In years past, he has worked with crews setting up stage, sound for touring productions like Bibleman, Big Fish, Praise Gathering, the Black Expo, for over 240 different national talent Christian artists and groups booked through the area. So, put him to use and challenge him, because most of the time for our needs, he just needs two plug-ins. We do have a nice digital system for most venues, but we can also accommodate a simple set up in a Hospital hallway, to adding several extra amps and speakers for our larger outdoor and tent booking events.
