BIOGRAPHY


Hailing from the same hills that brought the world The Carter Family and Mountain Gospel favorites like the Singing Cookes & McGlothlins, The Knight Family is steeped in Southern Gospel and Appalachian music.  The family has been traveling all across America since 1986 singing the praises of the Savior.  Group matriarch has been singing for 56 years, since her teenage years, having travelled millions of miles carrying the Gospel in song.  Oldest son Adam is a minister, musician, and vocalist who has produced countless albums for other artists and plays in studios around the country. His testimony includes a fall from grace which led to a 5 year stint of incarceration in Tennessee and Virginia.  After rededicating his life to the Lord he preached over 200 sermons, and saw over 400 inmates saved.  His wife, Angel is the daughter of prolific Bluegrass songwriter and Dove award recipient, Homer Jackson.  Angel brought her mountain soul to the group in 2013, from a rich Bluegrass and acapella heritage.
