The Laymen's latest project
BREAKTHROUGH is getting
Great Reviews

The Laymen are Mark D. Hoggard, Mark
D. Hoggard, Jr. (Markie), Curtis Lee Hyler, David "Shawn" Majors, and
Randy Lee Warren. They are a wonderful group of guys who love the
Lord with all their hearts. Their mission is to proclaim the name of
Jesus in word and song, and touch people's hearts and lives through
their ministry.
The Laymen, started by Mark, Sr., have been singing for over 23
years now. The Laymen have always been known for their wonderful
ministry and their exceptional quartet sound. They have a traditional
background, and that has been the foundation of their music, although
this new project is really on the cutting edge of southern gospel. Their
new project is entitled "Breakthrough", and that is what it truly is. This
is their first project with Jericho Records a division of Zion Music Group,
who they signed with at the beginning of this year. They're really
excited about this project. There are 10 songs on this project and 9 of
them were written or co-written by members of the group. Markie
wrote 5 of the songs including their current single a very exciting song
called "Strike the Rock". His other songs include the very powerful,
"The Shepherd Became a Lamb", "Let Me Tell You About My Friend
Jesus", "Start Doubting the Doubt", and another exciting, uptempo song
called "He's Leading the Way". Randy wrote a great song called,
"Something's Gotta Break", he also
co-wrote 2 wonderful songs, "Walking with the Master" and "God Can
and He Will". Curtis wrote a song that will make you want to get up
and shout and it's called, "Get Up, Get Ready". The last song is their
first single, a stirring and very powerful song called, "Stand Up for Old
Glory". They're very happy about how this song has been doing. It has
been getting very much airplay across the nation. They believe "Strike
the Rock" may do even better. God has really been blessing this group
and they are very excited about the awesome plans God has in store for
them.
They truly are a spectacular group, and every one of their
concerts is an anointed experience. No matter what setting this group is
in they are sure to touch hearts and lives. Anyone who invites them to
sing at their church or concert venue will not be disapointed and will
definitely be blessed.
