Crabb Family (1995-2007)

History

Gerald and Kathy Crabb organized the Crabb Family in the mid-1990s. As the group progressed, their five children joined them in the venture. Based in Kentucky, the group was quickly accepted by Southern Gospel radio and concert fans. Siblings Jason and Aaron played guitar, and their brother Adam played harmonica. Sisters Kelly and Terah were featured singers. Kathy Crabb played keyboard during their early years.

Their song “Please Forgive Me” was the number one song on the Singing News chart from July through October in 1998. This was the first in a long string of number one songs.

Gerald and Kathy withdrew from the concert stage to a degree after the turn of the century. Their daughter Terah also stopped touring for a while. The cover of the 2004 recording Driven displayed siblings Jason, Kelly, Adam, and Aaron. With pop influenced songs like “Sacrifice Of Praise,” a Southern rock feel with “Chapter 2,” and a remake of “Through The Fire” with Donnie McClurkin joining the group on vocals, the new recording opened a number of doors to the Crabb Family and garnered Dove Award nominations for the group in categories where Southern Gospel artists are typically overlooked.

By 2005, Gerald Crabb was established as a soloist and songwriter. The Crabb Family was also actively involved in launching the careers of artists like the McCraes and the Hoskins Family through their own record label. Creative marketing techniques combined with events like Crabbfest and the Crabb Jam tour constantly kept the group’s name in front of their fans.

The Crabb Family officially disbanded in 2007 a few months after Gerald and Kathy divorced. Jason embarked on a solo career, Kelly joined her husband Mike Bowling’s group, Adam and Terah launched Crabb Revival, and Aaron began focusing on evangelism. The five siblings have reunited for several tours and recordings since 2007.
