It’s always intriguing to find out what Southern Gospel artists might have done if they didn’t pursue singing. Mark Trammell says if not for singing, he might have been a chiropractor.

“Well, it was either this or be a chiropractor. That has always stuck with me. When I was in school, in George sports, there was an old doctor that came in to help the football team there in North Little Rock, and he was a chiropractor,” said Mark.

“He got me interested in cranial structure, spine, how all of that works. The miracle of our muscle makeup and what it does and how Our brain tells all of our body how to do what to do. It was very intriguing for me at that age. I could have gone that way.”

But he says God gave him the desire to sing Gospel Music and opened the door.

Mark has been in the studio this week working on vocals for his project that will celebrate 50 years of ministry!

The Mark Trammell Quartet is traveling through six U.S. states throughout July with dates in North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky Alabama and Georgia.
