The Shadow
HOT SPRINGS, Va. (VR) – Allegheny Mountain Radio will present the 2025 Gospel Jubilee on Saturday, October 11, 2025, at the Bath County High School Auditorium. Doors and concessions open at 5:00 PM, with music scheduled from 6:00 to 9:00 PM. Admission is by free will offering.
This year’s headliner is Ivan Parker. Parker has released over a dozen solo albums, many of which reached the top of the gospel charts, and continues to perform more than 200 shows a year. A former lead vocalist with Gold City Quartet and a longtime presence on Gaither Homecoming Concerts and Videos, Parker built a career of national and international distinction, recognized for his powerful voice and ministry-driven message.
Also featured will be Josh Grigsby & County Line, one of Virginia’s premier bluegrass gospel bands. Named Bluegrass Band Champion of Virginia by the Virginia Folk Music Association in 2015, the group has earned acclaim for its mix of traditional bluegrass, gospel harmonies, and original compositions. Frontman Josh Grigsby was also honored as Male Vocalist of the Year in 2015, and the band’s recordings continue to receive airplay nationwide.
Rounding out the program are Richard and Karen Hise with their daughter, Jenna Newmarker. The Hise family has been a bedrock of the Gospel Jubilee, combining their talents on stage with long service to Allegheny Mountain Radio on air and behind the scenes. Richard has held leadership roles as both WCHG Station Coordinator and General Manager.
Concessions will be managed by the Virginia Chapel Women’s Group, and attendees will also find raffles and Allegheny Mountain Radio merchandise available throughout the evening.
