Difference Media recording artist Canton Junction announces the addition of celebrated vocalist Shane McConnell to its acclaimed lineup. McConnell joins Matthew Hagee, Aaron Crabb and Tim Duncan, to round out the popular quartet.

“Shane is a remarkably talented and incredibly gracious individual, who greatly complements the idea that Canton Junction is where good things come together,” said Matthew Hagee, who also serves as executive pastor, Cornerstone Church. “We are extremely blessed to have him and look forward to what the future holds for Canton Junction.”

“I’ve enjoyed all the opportunities I’ve had in the studio through the years, but now as a member of Canton Junction, I’m especially looking forward to being able to interact with live audiences,” McConnell said. “I’ve always loved quartet harmonies, but I also have a heart for praise & worship, so Canton Junction seems like a great home for me. I believe it’s going to be a fun journey!”

As surely as March winds are blowing throughout the US this Spring, the winds of change are also blowing throughout the world of Southern Gospel Music and specifically within The Dixie Melody Boys. This week Ed O’Neal, Manager of the popular quartet, announced plans for an adjustment in the group’s vocals, as baritone Steven Cooper, will move from the baritone spot to become the group’s new bass guitarist. "Steven has been a valuable asset to the Quartet and will continue to be so, just in a different capacity,” O’Neal stated.

As many Dixie Melody Boys’ friends and fans may know, Steven has been experiencing vocal issues for the last several years. He has been to numerous vocal specialists who have advised him to go on an extended vocal rest. Steven recently celebrated his fifth anniversary with the group, and according to O’Neal, Steven will help the group off stage with various responsibilities and will also begin playing bass guitar for the group in the near future. "I want to thank everyone for their concern and understanding over the last year,” Steven shares. “It has been a difficult time, having to go through this as a singer. I hope that someday my voice will return, and I will be able to sing again, and I ask that everyone will keep me in their prayers, as I trust God for a healing. I also want to thank Ed, Matt and Mike for their support in this change and for allowing me to ramain a member of the group."
