Concert Review: Triumphant Quartet
We don’t get a lot of southern gospel concerts up north so, when I heard Triumphant was going to be doing a concert two hours away, I jumped at the chance to go. I’ve seen them numerous times at the National Quartet Convention but this was my first time to see them by themselves. The concert was only an hour long which was disappointing since there were so many more songs I’d wanted them to sing but it was still worth it.
They opened with “Saved By Grace” which was originally sung by the McGruders and is a song I absolutely love. Then they went into “Amazed at the Change” which I thought was the perfect follow-up to the first song. David Sutton sang “Walk With Me” and did a tremendous job. Then Scott Inman sang “Love Came Calling,” the title track from their new CD.
Eric Bennett introduced the group and they sang “Forgave Me, Saved Me, Raised Me.” They did not have the CD this song was on at the concert but it’s probably my favorite CD that I’ve heard of theirs. Jeff Stice played piano and David Sutton played harmonica as they smoked “Goodbye, World, Goodbye.” Then they sang two requests: “Old White Flag” and “Long Black Train.”
Jeff played “Down From His Glory” and it was absolutely beautiful. He has such an anointing when he plays and he gives God the glory for his talent. After that, Eric talked about why they do what they do. As much as they enjoy it, the real reason they travel and sing is because “Somebody Died for Me.” Scott sang that song next. The pastor gave an invitation and then Jeff played the “Hallelujah Chorus.” The concert ended with “Movin’ Up.” I hadn’t heard them do that song before but they did a good job.
I look forward to seeing them again one day and I hope that time, the concert’s at least two hours. One just wasn’t long enough.
