It’s a style of ‘church’ music which emerged from hymns with songs easier to grasp and more singable than traditional church hymns. Gospel music can be traced to the early 1600’s with the first published use of the term ‘gospel song’ appearing in 1874. Black and Southern gospel music are largely responsible for gospel’s presence in today’s contemporary Christian music. The hosts for the Lamplighter jam were Carole and Leon Hampton. The stage band featured Sandra Arvold on fiddle, Dave Evans on lead guitar, Lernie Fulk on bass guitar, Leon Hampton on rhythm/lead guitar, and Frank Rinchiuso on rhythm guitar. Two musicians will be featured at Lamplighter with the first being Dave Evans from Minnesota, who started his music venture at age 10 playing for his high school band and choir. He not only performs with his guitar but with an accordion, banjo, bass guitar, and keyboard including playing 2nd violin with the Winter Texan Orchestra. He has performed at the Corn Palace in South Dakota, with Rusty Rierson, and at numerous RGV jams.

He now performs throughout the RGV playing gospel and bluegrass music with his guitar, dobro, and banjo.
