Bluegrass gospel at Colfax Methodist September 24

Lorn Schultz and Royce Sorensen will play bluegrass gospel music during the church service at Colfax United Methodist Church on September 24 at 11 a.m.

Schultz and Sorensen have come full circle after starting together in the 1980s as founding members of The King’s Trio.

Schultz went on to form The King’s Countrymen which included bus tours to Nashville, Branson, plus numerous recordings over the band’s 26 year run. Schultz and his wife, Kristi, hosted a very successful and dearly loved Bluegrass Gospel Festival every summer for 18 years on their Mondovi farm.

In addition to 23 years with The King’s Trio, Sorensen uses his instrumentalist skills as a sideman in numerous Wisconsin bluegrass bands. He also has a recording business at his Eau Claire home studio.

The two “old friends” continue to share their live of bluegrass gospel music and giving testimony to the work of Christ in their lives. Kristi often handles the sound system duties. On occasion, they invite guest musicians to join them.
