Men Of Music (1995-2007, 2009-Present)

History

The Men of Music was formed in November 1995 in Austin, Texas through the love of Southern Gospel Music and the love of God under the direction of then owner Cleon Yates. Yates brought in some of the greatest names in Southern Gospel to fill the positions such as Bobby Clark, Buddy Burton, Chris West and Jim Wesson. In 1996, the group was nominated for Horizon Group of the Year in Singing News Fan Awards.

In 2002, Yates turned over the reigns of the group to then bass singer Mike Bullock who led the group for several years including hiring members Gregory Colburn and Rodney Tyson. In 2006, Bullock pulled the group off the road after his wifes diagnosis with Multiple Myloma bone cancer. At that point, it seemed like the Men of Musics time on the road was a glorious but brief one.

In 2009, Greg felt the gentle nudge of the Holy Spirit that it was time to bring back the Men of Music. After attaining the blessing of Mike Bullock to resurrect the group, Greg started calling his industry friends seeking people to fill the top two positions, and God brought the right people in His perfect timing.
