Gospel Happenings

  • Arizona-based baseball bat company Smacker Bats recently partnered with Southern Gospel artist Matt Felts to release the “Matt Felts Signature Series” bat with Felts’ signature and logo on the barrel. In addition to his solo music career and duties as General Manager of Butler Music Group, the former college and professional baseball player continues to pursue his other passion in a traveling vintage baseball league.

They’ll be hitting Greenwood, SC; Hendersonville, NC; Yadkinville, NC; Corryton, TN; Bennett, NC; and other cities in the months ahead.
  • The Mayberry Days festival is wrapping up this week in Mount Airy, North Carolina. The Easter Brothers and Jeff & Sheri Easter will perform tomorrow night as part of the festivities.
