Franklin concert aims to lift holiday spirits

Parker and Paschal will appear at the Smoky Mountain Center for the Performing Arts at 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 4 with a show that promises to jump-start your holiday celebrations.  

Parker’s June 2003 song “It’s True” — the title song on one of Ivan’s CD’s — climbed to No. 2 on The Singing News top 10 list. Janet Paschal grew up outside of Reidsville in Caswell County. Her breakout hit came with her 1997 album The Good Road, which landed her numerous appearances on Bill Gaither’s Homecoming Concerts as well as the corresponding records. Since then, Paschal has released five more albums  and has received numerous awards including Dove and Grammy nominations and was named Christian Music’s top female vocalist for three consecutive years.
