Biography

Guy Penrod was raised in Hobbs, New Mexico. After graduating from Hobbs High School, he attended Liberty University where he received a bachelor's degree in music, Bible and theology. He also met his wife, Angie, at Liberty.

After completing his degrees, Guy first took a position teaching a music class at a Christian school in Atlanta. He soon relocated to Nashville, TN where he worked extensively as a studio singer. In 1987, Penrod sang with a short-lived version of the Stamps Quartet that also included Mike Eldred (tenor), Ed Enoch (lead), Larry Strickland (bass), and Wayne Campbell (piano). (JD Sumner was still touring with the Masters V at the time.) In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Penrod was a member of the Christ Church Choir and regularly appeared as a background singer on the television show Music City Tonight.

In the spring of 1995, Penrod got the call from Bill Gaither to join the Gaither Vocal Band. Known for his distinctive appearance and powerful vocals, he quickly won his way into the hearts of GVB fans. In addition to singing, Penrod co-produced several of the group's award-winning CDs. In 2005, a compilation CD of Penrod's most memorable performances was released along with a companion DVD.

Penrod left the Gaither Vocal Band to pursue a solo career in the fall of 2008. In 2016, Penrod began hosting at television program called Gospel Music Showcase for the Daystar television network.
