Singing Echoes

The Singing Echoes is a professional Southern Gospel group based in Cleveland, TN. The group consists of members of the Epperson family. It originated in 1969 with Max and Lela Epperson, their two sons Lynn and Gary, and Debbie, Gary's wife at the piano. Lynn's oldest son Jeremy joined the group while Max and Lela were still traveling. When Lela had to go off the road in the '80s, Joshua stepped up to the plate and started singing her part. In 1973, The Singing Echoes received a Grammy nomination for the arrangement of the song "When I Wake Up To Sleep No More". The group has written and recorded many popular southern gospel songs and have been instrumental in introducing many other chart topping songs such as "Look For Me At Jesus Feet" written by Squire Parsons who was unknown at the time the song was released. Some songs that they are noted for are: "When I Wake Up To Sleep No More", "It's Enough", "Beautiful Heaven", "Think I'm Excited?", "Somebody's Here" and "I'm A Used To Be" . The group's work has been recognized by the state of Tennessee, and Governor Lamar Alexander appointed them as "Ambassadors of Good Will" for the state of Tennessee.
