The Fair Haven Quartet is one of the most dedicated, sincere and exciting quartets in gospel music today. Since the beginning of their music ministry in 2004 the quartet has traveled extensively to churches throughout Kentucky, Tennessee and Ohio and established themselves as one of the premier gospel quartets in southeast Kentucky. Their recordings feature a blend of original songs and fresh arrangements to traditional hymns and gospel classics. The tight harmony and dynamic, convention-style sound is both refreshing and uplifting.
