Kerry
Beatty, the owner of PSQ, is from Franklin, Tennessee,
just outside of Nashville where he, his wife Lisa and
son Jonathan reside in a country ambiance where he
escapes to the peace and relaxation from the hectic
travel schedule. Kerry comes from a rich legacy of
Southern Gospel Music made available in part by the
years he spent traveling with his Dad and Mother, Woody
and Peggy Beatty, who have experienced renown and
acclaim in their own right. Kerry witnessed a
dedication to gospel music done right.
As a child he reminisces about hearing the great
harmonies of the super groups, quartets and legends the
made gospel music much of what it is today. His
father Woody traveled with the great Jake Hess and Rosie
Rozell where Kerry spent many years watching these
masters of trade in the climax of their careers.
From that time, Kerry knew that his life was charted to
follow the legends that paved the road before him.
While being a phenomenal saxophone player, musician,
recipient of numerous awards and much accolade, it was
empty in comparison to what he felt his real mission and
ministry would be.
As you talk to Kerry you sense his humility and his
genuine care for people and in no way would he promote
himself with selfish ambition. For those of us who
have experienced the velvet lead vocals the he possesses
find it to be something that is not only special but the
start of his own legacy. He joined PSQ in 1997
taking the place of the very capable Jack Bagwell, who
was with the group for 48 years. Since that time
he has consistently provided the distinguishable sound
of the quartet where he remains to this day. He
fully embraces the responsibility of leading this group
into the next decade of ministry and beyond.
Kerry understands that this level of ministry is not a
solo act and not for the faint of heart. It takes
a strong wife and family with a lot of love and prayers
to keep it going. Kerry has established his
priorities very clearly as follows: God, family,
ministry. |
