Bio/Notes: Etched n’ Stone the next explosive smooth as silk, R&B flavored phenomenon from Virginia. Following the trail blazed by the wildly successful male groups such Men of Standard, Boys II Men, and Take 6 comes Etched n’ Stone, the awesome all male trio that promises to change the way we view young men in gospel music. “We want other young men to look at us and say, just because I’m a Christian doesn’t mean I can’t have fun, dance, and be fashionable. I can still represent the King by my actions and still look good and have a fun fill life at the same time.” This young, talented, cutting edge group consists of Jon Harris, whose high tenor voice remind you of Michael Jackson; Steph Green, whose deep bass makes all the girls scream and add that extra “mmph!” to every song and finally the group’s lead singer Jaye Bynum whose voice remind you of Al Green. Together, these powerful harmonious voices blend perfectly to deliver a sweet, spiritual, satisfying feast for the mind, heart and soul. The group formed when group members Alonzo Jarmon and Jaye Bynum were having a conversation on the phone and Alonzo had mentioned that his mother Mrs. Yolanda Jarmon wanted to put together an exciting all male group. Jaye loved the idea and that he too wanted to put an all male gospel group together and told Alonzo that he would be in search for an additional member for the group. After Jaye contacted his friend Stephen from a previous group about being apart he was excited and joined and Etched n’ Stone was born. Unfortunately after a month of the group existence group member Alonzo Jarmon died in a tragic car accident. The group was hurt by their band mate and friend tragic death. The group took a two month break and later on Jonathan Harris joined the group as the new third member. Now the group is back and is ready to take the country by storm!!! The guys are now working on material for their debut album which should be in stores 2010.”I’m so excited about where God is beginning to take us, we are beginning to develop a strong team that is very supportive of our music and ministry and we are doing a lot of writing on this project. With this album we wanted to cover topics that we face as young men, topics that are not necessarily talked about in gospel”says Jaye. The album lead single “Anything” is a uplifting uptempo track that encourages people during their hard times to remember that anything God promised he would fulfill his promise. Other boy groups can sing so, what’s so special about Etched n’ Stone? Are they just another boy group? “There are plenty of boy groups that have tight dance steps, and nice clothes, but they aren’t saying anything. Most of them are selling sex, sex, and more sex, because that’s all they have to offer. They are singing about this empty love and that “hurt me” love. But Etched n’ Stone are singing about a love that won’t hurt you, a lover that will never leave you, the best love anyone, male or female, could have.” “Believe me, we are into hot clothes, choreographed shows, the works, but most importantly, we are ministering to people’s souls. We want to prove that you don’t have to look or be ‘busted’ or ‘wack’ to sing gospel music or be saved. You can look like “all that” and be an ambassador for Christ. You can be ‘hott’, and be completely sold out for Christ.” These gifted young men have unforgettable voices, great songs and great stage presence. But most importantly, they have the gift of ministering to people’s souls |
