Biographies

Having grown up her whole life in a Southern Gospel Group, Ambie has a life-long experience singing Gospel Music. Starting out singing with her family's group, Heaven's Angels Trio, she sung the low harmony every weekend alongside her mom and sister. She grew up with goals and aspirations of not only singing, but seeing lives touched and blessed through her ministry.

Years later, at a gospel sing on her birthday, she was introduced to someone that she never dreamed would one day be her husband. Today, she touches hearts and lives with a powerful God-given anointing as she sings. God has also gifted her with songs that we know will bless your heart. We know you'll be touched by songs like "God's Still God" and "Faith Can Move a Mountain"

Ambie's favorite moment on stage: One Sunday morning we were singing at a church in Fernandina, Fla. The spirit was moving in a mighty way and God was pulling me toward a woman at the alter. I had never seen her before and knew nothing about her life but God gave me a word to tell her. After the service she approached me and told me that the word I had given her had helped her find the answer she had been seeking for a problem that she had been facing for quite some time. I was so blessed to know that my obedience to God had helped someone overcome a problem. If we will take the time to step out of our comfort zone and do as God asks think of all the people that could be helped!

Ambie's most embarrasing moment: One night, late after a sing in South Carolina, we called the pastor of the church for the next morning to let him know we were on the way to park the bus at the church. He told us that since it was so late we could set up the next morning and he was going to go on home and just leave an extension plugged in for the bus. When we arrived at the church, the pastor decided to stay and let us set up that night. Shane plugged the extension cord in the bus and I sat on the front pew waiting on the guys to bring in the heavy equipment. Suddenly, smoke started seeping out of the cord filling the church and all I could do was stare because I knew something wasn't right. After a minute or two, I casually walked outside and told Shane something wasn't right because the cord was smoking. The pastor ran past me and yanked the cord out of the wall. To this day I still can't figure out why I didn't think to do that!

Growing up around Southern Gospel Music concerts and artists, Shane is no stranger to the Christian Music industry. He realized how strong the calling was on his life an early age. By age eleven, God allowed him the opportunity to meet some of Southern Gospel’s well-known artists and producers. John Lanier, soloist, and Randall Wilds, CEO of New City Talent saw Shane’s potential and helped him get started in his own solo ministry. With the help of Randall Wilds, he recorded his first solo project at 12 years old. Shane never stopped believing that the vision he saw at age seven would come to pass. Doors continued to open for him to minister at Churches. He has had the opportunity to play the piano and sing on the same stage as Tony Gore and Majesty, The Encouragers, The Apostles, John Lanier, Naomi Sego, and The Shadrix Trio. By age sixteen, God lead him to join Dixieland Quartet where he would learn even more about the responsibility about being in a ministry. After spending over four years in Dixieland Quartet, God lead him to join Micah and Anthony to form Allegiance. Using what God has taught him through the years about the Southern Gospel Music and how important ministry is in Southern Gospel Music, the vision that he had at seven years old is being fulfilled stronger and stronger as we get closer and closer to the return of Jesus Christ. Shane sees singing as not only a form of music, but a form of preaching. It is evident in Shane’s voice as he sings that every note and word has a purpose – to preach to a lost and dying world.

Shane's other talents: Graphic art and design, web design, audio/video recording, guitar, drums, and keyboards.

Shane's favorite moment on stage: It's kind of interesting how God works...and I think sometimes he tries to toy with us just to get a kick out of it...but be serious at the same time. Me and the guys had been asked to sing at a Church for a mid-week service before we actually formed the group, and we had recorded a few tracks to sing by on Anthony's keyboard. That morning I woke up with the song "Oh, What a Savior" on my mind. We had never practiced it or recorded it - in fact I'd only sung it once during a concert and it wasn't with the guys, so I wasn't even sure if we could do it...but that entire day I had that song on my mind. I called Anthony and told him about it and that I thought he should record a track for it just in case the spirit lead in that direction. He told me that that song had been on his mind too. I told him that it would be VERY weird if, that night, someone requested that song. I even said that if someone did I would probably fall out in surprise.

At the service, we sung the songs we had already practiced and recorded...the spirit fell. God was changing lives across the Church, and while Anthony was praying with a lady in the Church, one of the members of the Church called me over and asked me, "Do you guys sing 'Oh, What a Savior?'" I looked at Micah and tears came to my eyes. Without realizing what happened, I realized I was on my knees...and began to cry - God had more in mind that I'd ever dreamed. I don't think there is a such thing as a "coincidence" when it comes to God...so undoubtedly someone needed that...because you could feel God's anointing as we sang that song...and I'll NEVER forget it.

Shane's most embarrasing moment: Ok...so I'm not exactly "embarrassed" by it, but it is a funny story to share with everyone. It was my first day with Dixieland Quartet, and we were singing at a homecoming service in Jesup. After packing up our equipment and loading it on the bus, I sat down on the bus to leave with everyone else. Billy couldn't see how to get out of the driveway, so he said "Hey, Shane...can you go look out the back window and see if it's clear behind me?" Not knowing that the back window of the bus was painted black and you couldn't see out, I started for the back of the bus. When everyone started laughing, I realized why...I guess the joke's on me!

Bryan's most embarrasing moment: My most embarrassing moment would have to be when I was playing at "The Peach Pit" in Waycross, GA, with another praise and worship group. I was on a wooden elevated platform that was uneven. As I was playing, the vibrations from the drums caused one of the cymbal stands to fall forward, right onto the drums. Everyone started laughing while I worked to re-adjust the stand in mid-song.
