PRESS RELEASE: Evangelist Maggie Ingram & The Ingramettes: "Records Live"

Richmond's Queen of Gospel will record "Live"

This is the musical event that the City of Richmond has been waiting for! It has been over 10 years since their last release on Atlanta International Records, but in that time, Evangelist Maggie Ingram & the Ingramettes have continued to spread the gospel through song.

On Saturday, November 12, 2005, 6:00PM, at the Antioch Christian Center (335 E. Belt Blvd., Richmond,VA), the Ingramettes will record their first "live" Video/DVD and CD recording. It promises to be a very special event!

During that last 10 years, several of the group members have successfully worked on other projects, but they always come together for this special singing ministry.

Rev. Almeta Ingram-Miller, who is the oldest daughter of Evangelist Maggie Ingram, was praised by audiences and critics alike, as she graced the stages at the Barksdale Theatre and The Empire Theatre in Richmond in the role of "Mother Elsie Shaw" in Regina Taylor's production of "Crowns."

Rev. Michelle Kirven and her husband Rev. Tim Kirven are the founding Co-Pastors of Worship and Praise Deliverance Ministry in the southside of Richmond.

Evangelist Maggie Ingram, the matriarch of the family and of the group, continues her work in the church communities of Richmond and vicinities. She is still sought after as a preacher, Psalmist, and Hymnology clinician, as she seeks to preserve traditional Gospel music for the next generation to come. The musicians are all Ministers of Music at their respective churches.

Evangelist Maggie Ingram & The Ingramettes are nationally known television, stage, and recording artists; and as good as they are apart, nothing compares to their coming together. This is traditional gospel music at its best! The new recording promises some surprises, as some of the songs have been written with a contemporary flavor.

They have invited many of Richmond's brightest stars to share the evening with them. "Sis. Cora Harvey Armstrong", and "Bro. Lee Walker and Spirit" will begin the services. Guest musicians for the evening include keyboardist Min. Darryl Walker, and saxaphonist, Gerthell "Dale" Rogers, both of Richmond, and Val Alexander III of Greensboro,NC (The Gospel Keynotes of Tyler ,TX).

Tickets ($12.00 in advance/$15.00 at the door) go on sale September 26, 2005, at all the usual places in Richmond and Petersburg, as well all members of the participating groups.

Don't miss this blessed event as the City of Richmond and vicinities welcome fans from all over to the first "live" Video/DVD/CD recording of
"Evangelist Maggie Ingram & The Ingramettes".
