The Southern Praise Band was formed in 2006 when "Boogie" Knotts and Danny
Wilbur came to Murray after a Servant's Heart service one Sunday and said, "Dude, we're gonna be
a band!" Murray, ever cautious, and so particular of whom he will jam
with replied, "Okay...cool!" Along came Becky, Kathy and
Cameron Schmidt, and Southern Praise was born. SP started out as a praise band
for Servant's Heart Ministry Church and then took their sound on the
road...sort of. The band played several shows and services that year
and then everyone's schedules became crazy so they took a break. As of April 2, the band is currently Becky, Kathy and Murray.
