TALENT On Display

"All4Hym is a 6-piece bluegrass gospel group based in Front Royal, Virginia (near Chester Gap). Their third album, I've Come to Take You Home, has a fresh, honest sound that lifts the spirit. Emphasizing passion and respect, their Christian messages don't proselytize, yet they are able to provide spiritual guidance and direction. Their leisurely approach conveys their music masterfully without any tricks or antics. All4Hym formed as a trio in 1997. The band now includes Chester Kreitzer (rhythm guitar, vocals), Terri Kreitzer (vocals), Cory Kreitzer (mandolin, vocals), Aaron Murphy (lead guitar, dobro), Dan Murphy (bass, vocals), Buddy Dunlap (banjo, fiddle, lead guitar). Husband and wife Chester and Terri Kreitzer host a weekly one-hour "Bluegrass Link" radio program on WTRM. Their son, Cory, is an accomplished mandolinist and tenor singer. Twin brothers Dan and Aaron Murphy are both talented multi-instrumentalists. The band plays schools, fairs, campgrounds, singing conventions, festivals, theme parks, markets, and community centers. To bring the word of God through their ministry of bluegrass gospel music, All4Hym chooses material from Charlie Monroe, Hank Williams, Jeff Weeks, Ronnie Bowman, Gretchen Peters, Ron Block, Irl Hees, and others. All4Hym has some exhilarating and heartfelt gospel messages, complemented by adept picking. Their repertoire would be well received at venues with various age groups represented. The rousing and spirited sound of All4Hym is sure to please and be inspirational."
