The Erwins Award Winning Modern Gospel Group to Perform in Neosho fund raiser
Neosho Area Habitat for Humanity
A fund raiser is coming to Neosho.
Habitat for Humanity’s Sarah Serio tells KZRG:
“Coming up December 4th, we are bringing the Erwins to Neosho for a wonderful evening of energetic live music. And they are a sibling group that have been performing for over a decade now with a modern take on Southern gospel music.”
The Erwins are a Dove Award-winning and Grammy-nominated quartet with a modern take on Southern Gospel music. Their concert in Neosho will be December 4 at the Freeman Performing Arts Centers at Neosho High School.
Siblings Keith, Kody, Kris and Katie Erwin started singing at an early age in churches across the country while their parents traveled doing mission work. Since 2013 the brother-sister group has been busy performing in concerts, festivals, and conferences with hundreds of stops annually.
“We hope and pray that whether you are 9 years old or 90 years old, you will leave an Erwin concert enjoying what you’ve heard and seen,” Keith Erwin said. “We earnestly want to build bridges between the generations.”
Their modern take on Southern Gospel music is filled with youthful enthusiasm, strong harmonies, and authentic lyrics. They skillfully blend traditional themes with contemporary arrangements and are known to incorporate a pop music sound to keep the music fresh.
According the Kathy Parker-Collier, director of the Neosho Area Habitat for Humanity chapter, the concert is ideal for all ages, including families, as attendees can expect a lively, upbeat concert with Christmas music to get everyone in the mood for the season.
In 2020, The Erwins won a Dove Award for “The Power Of An Empty Tomb.” The following year, “The God I Know” became their first No. 1 hit, and their album What Christmas Really Means earned a Grammy nomination. Since their 2011 debut What Really Matters, the Texas-based quartet has released eight albums, including the acclaimed Life Story (2024), and achieved two No. 1 southern gospel hits, “The God I Know” and “Red Words.”
The concert will serve as a fundraiser for the Neosho Area Habitat for Humanity and organizers hope the community will see this event as a way to kick off the holiday season while also helping those in need.
“All funds raised stay local and benefit our community,” Parker-Collier said. “We have families that are in subpar housing that have never been able to afford a home on their own. Funds raised will provide them a hand up to home ownership.”
Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit organization dedicated to building decent and affordable housing for families in need.
“It’s not only a homeowner getting a new home, it’s about the folks that help them along the way, forming a team that makes our community so much stronger,” Parker-Collier said.
Currently the group in building their 19th home in Neosho which is expected to be completed in Spring 2026. It is being built in partnership with Crowder College’s Technical Education Center. Area high school students taking part in the Center’s building trade program and receiving real life hands on learning. This will be a multiyear partnership between the organization and college to bring affordable housing to Neosho.
The organization invites the community to join them at 7:00pm on December 4 at the Freeman Performing Arts Centers at Neosho High School for an energetic evening of live music.
