With over 40 years of traveling behind them, The Whisnants have performed all across the nation and around the world, including Canada, Hawaii and cruises sailing to the Bahamas, Belize and Mexico. The trio has celebrated 13 #1 songs spanning from 2001 to 2013 and their first single for 2014, "He Can Move That Stone," was nominated as a Top 10 Favorite Song in the Singing News Fan awards (2014). In 2003, their ballad "What You Took From Me" ranked #1 on the Singing News Top 40 Year End Chart as the most played song on radio and "Even In The Valley" did the same in 2004.

They have been nominated for Trio of the Year 10 times and received many individual nominations such as Favorite Young Artist, Favorite Female Singer, Favorite Alto, etc. They also have appeared on the Gospel Music Southern Style Program (INSP Network), the Gaither Video Taping in Nashville, TN in February of 2007 and numerous appearances at the National Quartet Convention. More importantly, Jeff shares, "I have asked God to allow us to be the very best that we can be so that He can use this ministry to touch people's lives. He has done that!" The achievements The Whisnants have acquired over the years are a testimony to the blessings God has placed on their ministry and they seek to use them to bring glory to their Lord in every concert.
