Guest Speaker Bio

GRAMMY ® and DOVE Award-winning artist Guy Penrod is an amazing vocalist to be sure. But Guy is not just a singer, he’s a personality.

By appearance alone, Guy has a signature look that is recognized around the world. From hair to height, belt buckle to boots, piercing eyes to engaging grin,Guy is a presence that is easily recognized. Beyond that, there is substance behind the style, because Penrod’s authenticity causes people to listen to what he has to say. Guy’s rasp-tinged country style vocals and experience on stage over the years, have given him the ability to be relaxed and confident in every setting. He has a stage presence that few can pull off.

From his 14-yr tenure as lead singer with the renowned Gaither Vocal Band, where he became internationally known for his powerhouse vocals and broad singing range to living the country life and being a family man (husband to his wife, Angie, and father to their 7 sons and 1 daughter) music and family are a significant part of the personality that is Guy Penrod.

Guy’s solo career began in August 2009, when he released his debut solo album,Breathe Deep, on the Servant Records label. Produced by veteran country music producer and studio musician Brent Rowan, the album consists of positive country music with Christian undertones.Guy, an inductee into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame, hosts for the sixth year, DayStar Television’s Emmy Award-winning “Gospel Music Showcase” program. Guy’s combined career sales are now in excess of 4 million units and he is a repeat guest atThe Grand Ole Opry. But most important of all, Guy is a man of character on stage and off, living a life of faith, loving others and capping it off with a warm-hearted grin.
