Grammy Award winner Marty Raybon performed Saturday night during the Northview FFA Alumni Blue Jacket Jamboree in Bratt. He was joined by Northview’s own Ashton Gibbs and the Lookin’ Up Southern Gospel Quartet.

The show was sponsored in part by NorthEscambia.com, Sheriff David Morgan, Escambia County Farm Bureau, Pensacola Interstate Fair, and Pioneer – A Dupont Company.

Marty Raybon is perhaps best known as the former lead singer of the country mega-group Shenandoah from 1985-1996. He led Shenandoah to 22 singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, including thirteen number one singles, such as: “The Church on Cumberland Road” (1989), “Sunday in the South” (1989), “Two Dozen Roses” (1989), “Next to You, Next to Me” (1990) and “Butterfly Kisses” (1997). At the top of the charts, Raybon became known for his bluegrass and gospel-influenced semi-traditional country sound.
