Ivan Parker 

We would like to invite everyone to get together with your families and friends, grab a lawn chair and come out to Gypsy Hill Park for a special evening of Praise and Worship with one of Gospel Music's best loved artist.

Ivan joined the Singing Americans in 1982, joined the Gold City Quartet as lead vocalist in 1983, launched his solo career in 1994, sang with Anthony Burger & Kirk Talley as the Trio and he's a fan favorite on the Gaither Homecoming Series.  Ivan continues to share his ministries by touring over 200 days a year nation wide.  In an article he said that " he defines success as a way to reach new audiences, i'll keep doing what i'm doing, i'll keep striving to do it better, I want to reach more people".  That's exactly what he did when he stepped onto the stage in Gypsy Hill Park for his first ever concert in Staunton on July 3rd, 2007.  In 2008 we had the honor of announcing that Ivan had agreed to add Staunton to his calendar as an annual concert and to join us as we celebrate AMERICA'S BIRTHDAY.

In 2008 the popular multi-award winning artist continues to add to his long list of achievments.  Ivan was awarded the Southern Gospel Male Artist from the UKGMA Awards which were held in Leighton Buzzard, England, Released a new CD "INSEPARABLE" and the DVD "THE BEST OF IVAN PARKER"  which went to #1 on Billboards Magazines Southern Gospel Charts, #2 on the Billboards Music Video Charts and #9 on the CCM Chart.  Ivan also won Singing News Magazines Favorite Soloist, 2008 Soloist of the Year Diamond Award from the SGN Scoops Magazine and had the #1 song " I CHOOSE" in Singing News Magazine.
