'N Praise

'N Praise is a multi-talented group based in central Missouri consisting of David Davis, daughter Rebecca Short, Norma Beatty, and Bob and Chuck Slankard.

Each one has a powerful talent individually, but together 'N Praise is a Spirit-filled voice that richly fills any room with a versatile, uplifting ministry.

David has many years of experience in southern gospel music. A former member of the Gospel Troubadours, he has also served as minister of music in his church. His powerful voice makes him an easy fit for lead vocalist or baritone background vocalist.

Becky is a smooth alto lead or back-up vocalist and also an accomplished pianist. She began singing with her dad when she was four years old. Her love for music and singing shine through every performance.

Norma Beatty, a veteran in gospel music, provides a strong lead or harmony backup. She blesses everyone with her enthusiastic love of the Lord, her unique talent on the auto harp and her "southern gospel" style piano. She began singing at age 4 with the encouragement of her mother, also a singer, and has continued through the years serving with the Journeymen Quartet, New Beginning, and the Master's Trio.

Bob and Chuck make up the band, displaying multiple talents on a variety of musical instruments and vocals as well. They have been in gospel music for many years, performing with the Gospel Troubadours, The Messengers, and New Beginning.

Following in the footsteps of their grandpa and mom are: Jackson, age 6 and Madelynn, age 4. Both are singing their songs on stage and Jack has been playing the piano for a year.

'N Praise travels throughout Missouri and Illinois to many churches to share the Word of God in their gospel ministry, and have also been privileged to perform at the Missouri State Captial, Six Flags at Eureka, MO, the Missouri State Fair in Sedalia, MO, and the Wilderness Church at Silver Dollar City in Branson, MO. They recently were presented with a 2004 award from the Branson Singer/Songwriter Association in Branson, MO. They have been members of MAGMA (Mid American Gospel Music Association) for four years where David serves as a board member.

'N Praise has just released their fourth CD entitled: "I Will Rest".
