Southern Harmony Quartet

In the month of May in 2004 five men with a desire to share the love of Jesus Christ in song joined together and formed a quartet. They shared a love of traditional, Southern Gospel music and four part harmony. The group was named Southern Harmony Quartet. The Quartet was a blessing to many as they endeavored to lift high the name of Jesus and His saving power. They traveled across Western Tennessee boldly sharing the Gospel in song. The Quartet was formed and based in Darden, Tennessee.

As time has gone by the group has seen several changes but one thing has remained and that is the love for continuing to spread God's word in song with that great Southern Gospel sound.

Mark Hayes

Mark Hayes, the bass singer, is from Parsons, TN. For many years Mark was a lost church member, but on April 30, 2000 during a tent revival he gave his life to Jesus Christ.

Mark firmly believes in what Jesus said in Luke 19:40, "If these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out." Mark and his wife, Beverly, live in Darden, TN.

Zach truly believes that God has entrusted in him to bring the gospel to those needing to hear Gods word and gift of salvation.

Morris Rogers

Southern Harmony Quartet's lead singer is a man who has many great loves in his life, but his love for "Southern Gospel Music" is one of his greatest.

One of the greatest days of his life was April 14, 1971 when he accepted Jesus Christ into his heart and life as his personal savior. Morris has been married for 25 years to his lovely wife Penny and they have been blessed with two beautiful daughters, Tara and Brenna.
