Southern Gospel  Trio

My Grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. 2 Corinthians 12:9

On Friday April 3rd Junior Combs and Southern Joy will be in Branson, Missori to record their new CD with Mansion Records. Please pray for them to have a safe flight.

Saturday March 17th 2007. Wesley traveled to Augusta Georgia to participate in a Round Robin tournament of Basketball for the YMCA. Back at the beginning of March Wesley was one of two chosen by his team mates to represent them as their All Star representatives. Skills, Leadership and All Around team playing traits were used for their selections. Wesley is well liked and respected by his team mates.

He enjoyed a great weekend staying at a YMCA campsite and hanging out with the other All Star team members.

Saturday, their team played other YMCA All-star teams from the Augusta Georgia Area. They won a few and they lost a few but, Wesley said the overall experience was great for him. Wesley not only plays Basketball for the YMCA but has also been asked to sing for the "Relay for Life" Cancer day and also for the "Fallen Police Officers" for the Baker County Sheriff's office.

Wesley is proud to be a Christian and loves to sing about him and wants to be a witness wherever he goes.

He feels that all the things that he excels in and participates in are all blessings and rewards from the Lord. He stated that he gives the Lord total praise and will go through any door opened to him.

Please go to our guestbook and give Wesley a At-a-Boy or words of encouragement.

2006 National Quartet Talent Search
Southern Joy was selected as the number one group out of 45 at the convention in Louisville, KY.

They won a recording contract with Sonsound Records, a half page spread in the Singing News Magazine and a national radio single release.

They are accepting bookings now for the 2009 calendar year. Act quickly to get your date on the books.

Junior Combs had no idea that when his last child Wesley was born (1994) that this would ultimately start a ministry for the Combs family 11 years later.

In 2006 Southern Joy began singing in local churches and concert halls whenever the Lord opened the door. Early in the group’s ministry together, they entered The Spirit of the Suwannee talent contest and won 1st place. Then just two weeks later they also entered the Worlds largest Southern Gospel contest (Bonifay All Night Gospel Sing) and won 1st place. This just confirmed to Junior that Southern Joy definitely has a place on the road spreading God’s plan of salvation.

When asked why they want to sing? Wesley, Jessica and Junior quickly responded “Jesus” is why. We are committed to bringing this lost and dying world the message of Jesus Christ through our songs, testimonies and by the daily life that we live.

Junior’s wife of 22 years, Gayle and his 15 year old daughter Alicia have been a vital part of his ministry. They are the ones who have supported, inspired and encouraged him to keep his ministry going with the family.

The versatility of Southern Joy is a crowd pleaser for the young and young at heart as their music stirs the spirit and fulfills your musical thirst. You will enjoy a little laughter and probably shed some tears as the group ministers to your soul. You will be blessed as the group sings old hymns of the church as well as new original music.

Junior’s 20 year old daughter Jessica has been told by many listeners that her Soprano/Tenor voice is angelic and high as the heavens. Her pitches and excellent quality tones have been complimented on by the best which helps motivate her to strive to perfect her voice. She has been complimented and encouraged by such professionals as Karen Peck, Lauren Harris, Michael Combs, Jason Reynolds and many more. Her plans are to attend college and gain her teaching degree in music. She further clarifies that if the Lord has different plans for her then she is willing to step through what ever door he opens for her. Traveling Fulltime in the ministry field is also a desire of hers.

Junior’s 14 year old Son Wesley has amazed crowds everywhere because of his anointed vocal presentation and awesome stage presence. He has received notable compliments from such artist as Arthur Rice, Gene McDonald, Libby Perry Stuffle, Randy Shelnut, Danny Funderburke, Gerald Wolf and many more. Wesley has a gift of instantly attracting people to his contagious personality. His desire is to be home schooled so that he can travel and minister for the Lord Fulltime.

Wesley has already made a remarkable impression on the Southern Gospel field and I am sure he will be very successful at anything he places his mind and heart on. His ultimate goal is to sing with his family and possibly one day sings with Gold City!

Junior Combs is no stranger to Southern Gospel music. He has blessed hearts for many years with his powerful Tenor voice and great Piano skills. He is noted for singing with groups such as The Cedar Creek Quartet, Rushing Wind, The Canaanland Boys, The Coastalmen and New Gathering Quartet. He calls it an honor to have sung with each of them. He credits his mother, sisters and several of his choral directors for inspiring him to travel and sing Southern Gospel music.

Junior has won many awards for his vocal performance as well as his overall musical ability. He has won several recognitions locally and nationally for his contributions to Southern Gospel. Junior has received personal compliments by such artists as Jim Hamel, Ray Dean Reese, Randy Shelnut, Karen Peck, Mark Blackwood, Randy Perry and many more. His plans are to continue molding his children in the way the Lord would have them go and keep his Tenor voice polished and ready for the Lord’s work.

Junior Combs and Southern Joy doesn’t measure success by how many number one songs they may record or the number of awards they may receive. Their responsibility is to utilize their vocal gifts and heart touching testimonies to allow the Holy Spirit to touch the lives of the listeners.

Junior Combs and Southern Joy has had the opportunity to share the stage with such artists as, The Kingdom Heirs, Karen Peck and New River, Danny Funderburke and Mercy’s Way, Ricky Atkinson and Compassion, The Down east Boys, The Florida Boys, The Dixie Echoes, Michael Combs, The Inspirations, The Perry’s, Gold City, The Kingsmen, The Browns and Crystal River.

Note: “If Junior Combs and Southern Joy has not been to your church, you have really missed a blessing. They are the sweetest and the most anointed family I have ever met and are just as friendly off stage as they are on. They were so humble that day and were strictly focused on the lost and the people needing healings, deliverance and revival in their lives. You must Experience Southern Joy, they will bless your hearts to the core and leave you wanting more!”
I know because I was saved in one of their services!
