Adoration began in the early 1990s as a quartet singing arrangements of hymns to the accompaniment of a piano, we are based in the LaGrange KY area. After a few years of this format, it was changed to soundtracks created by a producer in Georgia, who recently decided to retire. During these years there were
very few personnel changes to the group. The quartet now consists of Ray Heilman (tenor), Ryan Sharp (lead), Gary Bricken (baritone), and Phil Jared (bass).
Meet the talented musicians and vocalists who bring passion, faith, and harmony together to create uplifting gospel music that inspires and connects audiences.
We've had the great pleasure of hosting Adoration in concert at our church several times over the last few years. Every time they've come to sing for us has been inspiring, joyful, and fun. The songs they sing are carefully selected to honor God and testify to His redeeming love for everyone. The wide variety of songs is sung with joy, and they bring joy to the listener, whether the song is meditative or a foot-tapper. Lastly, the group, while taking the presentation of the gospel seriously, manages to inject humor into their presentation. This humor connects with the congregation, breaks down reservations, and thus opens their hearts to receive the message and lose themselves in the harmonically rich presentation. I wholeheartedly recommend and endorse Gary Bricken and Adoration. I am certain your folks will have the same great response as ours.
The members of Adoration are gifted with exceptional musical talent and a deep passion for sharing their faith. Their inspiring blend of traditional favorites and original compositions creates a meaningful worship experience that uplifts, encourages, and brings joy to every audience.
