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.
