Alan Pohlmeier
Lead

Picture
Alan’s roots are deep in the panhandle of Texas where he was born and raised, a graduate of Texas Tech University, and fulfilled a professional career in the financial services industry. 

His love for gospel music began in 1980 with the startup of a local quartet, The Conchords, in Amarillo, Texas.  He has performed with various other local quartets and quintets for the past thirty-three years. “Gospel music has been the centerpiece in my life and the anchor of my faith in Christ,” he says. “I firmly believe the touch of the Saviour can be delivered through music!”

Alan and his wife, Cathi, married in 1984 and have lived in the Branson, Missouri area since the move from Texas in 2011. They have three wonderful daughters, Michelle, Jennifer, and Chelsi—all married with families of their own—and six awesome grandchildren.


David "Homer" Hartwell
Tenor

Picture
David has always loved Southern Gospel Music and sang tenor in The Glorybound Quartet in the 80’s. In 1994, he and his wife moved to England as missionaries with Baptist Bible Fellowship until moving back in 1999. 

David has sung in groups, done solo work and now is very excited to be a part of Abundance Quartet.  David states, “The most important decision I have made was accepting Jesus as my personal Savior.  That is why I sing about the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and what He has done for us.”

David currently lives in Elkland, MO, with his wife Yleen. They met at church camp and were married in 1975.  They have one daughter, Rachel, who is married to John Andrews and a son, Nicholas Hartwell who is married to LaDonna.  Currently, David and Yleen attend Cherry Street Baptist Church in Springfield, MO.


Ken Turner
Baritone

Picture

Ken's love for Southern Gospel Music was fostered throughout his childhood years. Mostly in his Grandfather’s Country Church near Siloam Springs, AR.  He can remember singing the old hymns like "Camping in Canaan’s Land”, "Do Lord" and "I'll Fly Away". (Grandpa would Preach & Grandma would play the piano).  God placed a burning desire in his heart to sing and minister through the message of the old songs. 

His singing career started in 1970 with "The Tulsa Boy Singers".  From this point, he began singing in Church as well as traveling and performing with the Tulsa Boy Singers in various venues, such as the Oklahoma State Capitol, Cathedrals, & Concert Halls.

He's been blessed beyond measure singing and ministering over the years. He has also served as a Worship leader in various churches throughout his music career.  

Ken's favorite verse can be found in Isaiah 55:6-7 Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near.  Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts. Let them turn unto the Lord, and He will have mercy on them, and to our God, for He will freely pardon.








Jamie Layton
Bass

Picture
Jamie’s love of gospel music began as he started listening to Gaither Homecoming TV Shows in the late 90’s.  He especially loved listening to and singing along with the Bass singers.  In 2002 and 2003 he attended Stamps-Baxter School of Music and was hooked.  He joined River City Quartet in 2005 where he sang for 5 years. 

He has been looking for a group to sing with ever since.  He states, “I finally felt led to start a group and God has been putting everything together.  It is amazing how He brings people together, and your paths seem to be connected.”  He also states, “This is going to be AWESOME!”

Jamie and his wife Pam were married in 1982 and currently reside in Branson, MO.  They met in college at SBU in Bolivar, MO.  They have a son, Zach, who lives in Oklahoma City, OK.
