What if you could blend the magic of Dollywood with the timeless charm of Southern Gospel music? Join us on "Hot Mic with Houston and Hogan" as we sit down with Arthur Rice, the legendary lead singer of the Kingdom Heirs, who has wowed audiences at Dollywood for over 27 years. Arthur takes us on a nostalgic journey through his remarkable career, from performing at the Valley Theater to the grand Show Street Palace. Hear about the electrifying moments of drawing park visitors into their performances and the joy of spreading Southern Gospel music to a diverse audience. Arthur also shares his special connection with the Southern Gospel Music Hall of Fame and Museum and reflects on the incredible feat of performing for over two and a half million people, culminating in the unforgettable story behind his signature song, "How Great Thou Art."
In our second segment, we shift gears to celebrate Dolly Parton's monumental contributions to her hometown of Sevierville and Pigeon Forge. Discover how Dolly's initiatives, like the Imagination Library, and her generous financial support during crises like the Sevier County fires and COVID-19 pandemic, have transformed these communities. As Dollywood reopens and offers much-needed jobs, we discuss the challenges of navigating Pigeon Forge traffic and even throw in a recommendation for the Southern Gospel News Podcast. To top it off, I'll share my own journey to becoming the MC for the Kingdom Heirs and my role as Minister of Music at Trinity Baptist Church, where I focus on choir arrangements and congregational music. This episode is packed with heartwarming stories, community spirit, and a deep love for music that you won't want to miss!
