SXSW 2012

New Generation was organized in December of 2008 by four biological brothers of which whom began in music and ministry at a very young age, never having had lessons or gone to music school, but learned by experience in their home church. Two members of the group are ordained ministers and have been preaching for over 10 years! God has truly blessed these gifted and anointed young men to deliver His message through song and ministry, and want to share that blessing with others. God has recently blessed to have an addition to the group. We welcome our new lead guitar player, Donzell Taylor. We are the Next Generation of Gospel Music, Keeping Gospel music alive!
