🎶 CANADA’S DOUBLE PORTION 🎶
Canada’s Double Portion from North Battleford, Saskatchewan is a unique group in many ways. This 6 piece Gospel band is made up of parents Duncan & Debbie Hemmerling and 6 of their 10 children. They love to share songs they’ve written and songs they wish they wrote while featuring many stringed instruments with soaring family harmony. 2026 marks the 44th year of ministry for this veteran group and they are still excited to visit incredible places and meet so many wonderful people. Originating with Duncan and his three sisters, Canada’s Double Portion has crisscrossed the continent from Newfoundland to British Columbia, Georgia to Alaska. Four decades of travel have provided unique experiences like singing on the Grand Ole’ Opry stage, backing up Johnny & June Cash at a Cash/Rivers family reunion and performing with many of Gospel music’s premier groups at North America’s largest events. However, experience has taught this family that the smaller things in life are often the most rewarding!
Canada’s Double Portion have been nominated for Group of the Year numerous times and have received multiple awards for Album, Song of the Year and Live Band of the Year in the Gospel Music Association Canada.
They are thankful for every opportunity they have to share the Gospel!

🎶 CHOSEN ROAD 🎶

One of the most distinctive voices in Christian roots music today, blending Appalachian bluegrass, country, and gospel into a sound that is both timeless and fresh. Founded in the mountains of West Virginia by Jonathan Buckner, the band has spent more than a decade building a reputation as one of the most compelling live acts in Christian and bluegrass-influenced music.
Since their formation in 2009, Chosen Road has steadily risen to national prominence through relentless touring, powerful recordings, and a genuine commitment to the message behind the music. What began in small rural churches has grown into a full-time touring ministry performing in churches, theaters, festivals, and major events across the United States and internationally.
Musically, the group has carved out a unique lane that resonates with audiences far beyond traditional genre boundaries. Their signature sound combines world-class Appalachian instrumentation—banjo, mandolin, guitar, and upright bass—with soaring harmonies and deeply rooted songs of faith. The result is music that connects with fans of bluegrass, southern gospel, country, and modern worship alike.
Chosen Road’s recordings have consistently found success on national charts and Christian radio. Their album Appalachian Worship spent an impressive 30 weeks on Billboard’s Bluegrass Albums chart, peaking at #4, while the follow-up project Appalachian Hymns debuted in the Top 5 on the same chart, alongside artists such as Dolly Parton and Robert Plant & Alison Krauss.
Earlier releases also produced multiple Top 10 singles on Bluegrass Today’s Gospel chart, further establishing the band as a leading voice in the genre.
Beyond chart success, Chosen Road has earned widespread respect across the industry for both their musicianship and their heart for ministry. The band has appeared at premier gospel and roots music events across the country and has shared stages with many of the most respected artists in Christian, bluegrass, and Americana music.
In 2024, the group was invited to perform before the Tennessee State Senate, where they were also honored with a special resolution recognizing their musical contributions and influence.
Whether performing high-energy festival sets or intimate acoustic worship moments, Chosen Road concerts are known for their authenticity. The band’s live performances combine humor, storytelling, and heartfelt worship, creating a powerful connection with audiences of all ages.
At the center of it all is a simple mission: to use music to point people to Jesus.
With a growing catalog of original songs, chart-topping recordings, and a relentless touring schedule, Chosen Road continues to reach new audiences while staying deeply rooted in the faith and musical traditions that shaped them.

🎶 MIDSOUTH BAND 🎶

MidSouth is a trailblazing band that pushed the popularity of Christian Country music
forward in the late 80’s & 90’s. They set the standard for many years as one of the top
music acts in the business and are still touring today with their unique style of Christian music. The band has had a long list of hit songs over the years such as “Down By The Tabernacle”, “Sin Met Grace”, “You Were At The End Of Every Road”, “Puttin’ The Ax”, “Definition Of Love” and “Without You I Haven’t Got A Prayer” along with many others.
MidSouth received a Grammy nomination in 1992 for their “Shoulder to Shoulder"
project. They received Vocal Group Of The Year twice at the Christian Country Music
Association awards and won a Dove award for Country Recorded Song of The Year in
1995 for the song “Without You (I Haven’t Got A Prayer). Most recently, the band
received The Living Legend Award from The Inspirational Country Music Association.
In 2025, the band released its first studio project in almost 30 years called “Things I’d
Tell A Younger Me” with all songs written by the band members. That same year the
project was awarded the Positive Christian Country Album Of The Year at the AGM
Awards. MidSouth’s mission and goals are simple; to bring glory to God in all that we do! Whether it’s performing our music on a stage or through a song that we’ve written, we want the goodness of God to be clear and people to leave our concerts feeling
encouraged and inspired to pass it on to others.

🎶 LISA BROKOP - Nashville Tennessee 🎶

After 35 years in country music, Lisa Brokop is grateful to still be doing what she loves. It’s that winning combination of gratitude, youthful exuberance and seasoned wisdom that shines through the work of this now legendary artist.
Born in Vancouver, British Columbia, she was on stage performing with her mother and brother by the time she was seven and at 15 had become a professional musician and had joined a touring band. A year later, she had gone solo and began releasing her own singles. At 19, she landed the female lead in the film Harmony Cats about a young artist pursuing a country music career in Nashville. Art imitated life as the young Canadian moved to Music City and signed to Capitol Records. Over the next three years, she released two critically acclaimed albums, the Canadian-certified Gold record Every Little Girls Dream and the eponymous Lisa Brokop, which spawned hits such as “Give Me a Ring Sometime,” “Take That,” “Before He Kissed Me” and “She Can't Save Him,” leading to a nomination from the Academy of Country Music for Top New Female Vocalist. She signed with Sony Nashville/Columbia Records in 1998 and further solidified her reputation as one of Nashville’s most evocative young vocalists with such singles as “What’s Not to Love,” “How Do I let Go” and the top 10 hit “Better Off Broken.” She also gained notice as a songwriter, scoring hits by Terri Clark, Reba McEntire and Pam Tillis.
Fueled by her love of music, Brokop has continued recording over the years including the indie album Undeniable, which earned Independent Song of the Year nods for the hits “Something Undeniable” and “I’d Like to See You Try.” This was followed by three consecutive Independent Female Artist of the Year Awards from the Canadian Country Music Association.
She also recorded acclaimed albums for Curb/Asylum Records and Ellbea Records. She and her husband Paul also released a duet album, The Jeffersons, in 2011.
In September of 2025 the Canadian Country Music Association chose Lisa Brokop to be the most recent Hall of Fame inductee!
Brokop says, “This honor I’ve been given holds so many different levels of emotion. It’s extremely humbling and exciting and heavy all at the same time. I’m still processing the whole thing!”
January of 2026 saw the release of her 11th album project called ‘The God I Know’. This extremely honest and vulnerable collection of songs gives the listener a glimpse into the spiritual journey Lisas been on and includes that common denominator that has always been in this Canadian songbirds music. It’s that rich and very distinctive voice and passionate fervor she infuses in every song.
