Down East Boys Celebrate First #1 Song

Down East Boys

For decades, the Down East Boys have spread God's message through music, making a difference in people's lives with their voices. This month, their far-reaching impact is being recognized with their single "Beat Up Bible" reaching the #1 spot on the Singing News chart.
 
"It's amazing with this song - as much as we poured into albums over the years - this song was so simple and so easy," says lead singer Ricky Carden. "It was all about the message."
 
The song, which paints the picture of a "worn out and torn up" book used by generations to teach the value of prayer, is the group's first #1. It has quickly made an impact on people, with several bringing their family Bibles to Down East Boysperformances and sharing what the song has meant to them.
 
"That music is impacting people's lives, and that's why we do what we do," says Carden. "We do this every week because we love this music and it makes a difference."
 
Crossroads congratulated the group for their success this week with a luncheon and commemorative plaques. Crossroads would also like to thank Richard Hyssong for his promotion assistance. "Beat Up Bible" is featured on the Down East Boys' latest album, One Day In The Past. Listen to it HERE.
 
About Down East Boys
For more than 30 years, the Down East Boys quartet has traveled from coast to coast, Canada and Mexico. Starting in eastern North Carolina the group chose the name from that region called Down East, but quickly expanded its ministry and has now recorded more than 20 projects and has had more than 40 songs reach the top of the Singing News charts. The Down East Boys features lead singer Ricky Carden, baritone singer Daryl Paschal, bass singer Zac Barham and tenor singer Doug Pittman, who each bring a richness to the group's music and have been noted by industry leaders and singers as some of the best. The Down East Boys have been afforded many great accolades to their credit. From performing with many evangelists through the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, singing at Southern Baptist State Conventions and Evangelism conferences all over the country, to all the awards and nominations and the hit songs, nothing changes the goal of this group and that is to share the gospel of Jesus unto all the world.
