Southern gospel’s Poet Voices is welcoming vocalist Loren Harris to its lineup, the group announced.

Harris left the Kingdom Heirs in fall 2023 to pursue solo ministry but said he missed quartet singing. After discussions with Phil Cross and Donnie Henderson last October, Harris accepted their invitation.

“Once you have quartet in your blood, it’s just hard to replace,” Harris said.

He joins Cross, Henderson, Casey Armstrong and Jeff Snyder. The group is releasing a tribute album featuring gospel songs by the Oak Ridge Boys.

Phil Cross said he’s never been more excited about The Poet Voices’ future.
