Canaan’s Crossing – Bluegrass Gospel Band

Hey everyone, this is Canaan’s Crossing’s first attempt at the whole BLOG business. We have been around since 1999 (name change from Jordan River in 2006 for legal reasons), and are still going strong here in 2008. WOW – can you believe it is already 2008!

Junior Saint, our mandolin player is still recovering from his brain aneurysm. He is in rehab doing well. They are really working him hard so he will have plenty of motivation to get out of there quick!

Keith Cannon, a fine Christian young man from nearby Warrenton, Alabama is doing the mandolin part in Juniors absence. He is a great musician. Keith and his wife, Deidra have two sons Alex (age 11) and Jack (age 7). They are active in their church and Keith loves to hunt and fish plus coach his sons basketball team. Be sure and say hello to Coach Keith at one of our upcoming dates.

Please take a look at our web site to purchase our CDs or to find more information about us and our bluegrass gospel ministry and where we have been and where we are going.
