Joel Woollen
 

Joel Woollen is an artist with deep roots in southern gospel music. As a child, Joel grew up listening to music and attending concerts by such groups as The Rambos, The Hinsons, and The Happy Goodman Family. Being the son of a Pentecostal preacher and pastor, he was singing with his mother and siblings in their church as well as other churches and camp meetings at a very young age. Joel also started playing the drums at the age of four and was playing in his dad’s church by the time he was five. Over the years, he has been involved in several gospel singing groups. He and his wife, Marietta, have three boys, Price, Isaac, and Nathan.

In 1999, Joel heard and answered the call of the Lord to pursue a ministry as a soloist and gospel songwriter. Since that time, he has been writing songs and ministering in churches as well as other various gospel music events. In 2003, he had the opportunity to sing for Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee at the governor’s mansion on Memorial Day. Joel Woollen’s debut self-titled album was released in January of 2004. Nine of the ten songs were penned by Joel himself. From this project there have been two nationwide single releases which have received great response from southern gospel radio.

Joel Woollen’s goal and mission is to spread the message of Jesus Christ through gospel music and to see lives touched and changed through music ministry.
