The Harper Agency is pleased to add The Old Paths to their roster of fine artists, which also includes numerous other notable quartets. “My dad, who founded The Harper Agency in 1986, was a member of The Oak Ridge Boys for 12 years,†Ed Harper, President of The Harper Agency, states. “As a result of Dad’s love for four-part harmony, our agency has a rich tradition of representing quality quartets. The Old Paths help us continue that tradition. They have been around for quite a while, but they have recently begun to make a real impact in so many areas. They have received major endorsements from such prominent pastors as Dr Jerry Vines and Dr Charles Stanley, which is a great testament to their desire for ministry, as well as their exceptional talent. We are honored to have the opportunity to work with and represent such an outstanding group of young men. We look forward to being a part of their future for many years.â€
For Old Paths, joining the Harper Agency is just one more step in the right direction for this talented quartet. “We are honored and humbled by the recent success of our ministry, and all the glory is given to the Lord, Jesus Christ,†Old Paths’ baritone, Douglas Roark shares. “We are thankful for the support of our families, friends, fans and diligence of the Crossroads Music team. Along with that success there’s been a greater demand for scheduling. We’re delighted to announce an agreement with the renowned Harper Agency! With their shared interest in keeping the Gospel of Christ at the forefront, we have every confidence that we can better focus on the day to day task of the ministry and allow more time with our families when we’re home. We are so looking forward to what we believe God has in store.â€
