The Florida Boys are headed to the West Coast this week for a series of concerts in California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, and Arizona. After appearing this coming Saturday night at the Performing Arts Center in Ormond Beach, Florida, the Southern Gospel Quartet will head out for their semi-annual tour of the western states.
Gospel Music is always well-received on the West Coast. Having the disadvantage of being located far away from the epicenter of Southern Gospel, the South, fans on the West Coast flock to see and hear their favorite groups that usually travel to that part of the country only twice per year.
The Florida Boys' investment in bringing Gospel Music to the area is extensive. Les Beasley, manager of the group, and Claude Hopper of the Southern Gospel group 'The Hoppers,' promote an annual event in California called 'The Great Western Gospel Fan Festival,' which attracts thousands of fans each year.
Promoters Polly Grimes, Ralph Dean, and many more on the West Coast have worked tirelessly through many years of persistence to build a solid fan base for this form of music in the West.
