“I feel very honored that the members of The Churchmen have chosen to work with The Lancer Agency in booking the band’s festival and concert dates, ” LeRoy said. “Any appearance by The Churchmenn is inspiring and energetic with vocal harmony and instrumental passages that are among the best in the business. As an all-gospel group, the members fill an important role in the bluegrass industry and fill it well. The members would be a credit to any musical organization and especially to The Lancer Agency. I hope that I can measure up to their standards.”
