Little Rock, AR – Change is never easy, and it seems just when you get the bus pointed in the right direction, change is right around the corner. The Melody Boys Quartet announces Steven Hickinbotham has come on board as lead vocalist. Steven will be filling the position that is being vacated by Terry Robertson. Terry has decided to come off the road. The Melody Boys Quartet will miss his beautiful, resonate voice. Terry is as fine a Christian man as you will find. The Quartet’s increase in singing dates will cause him to be away from his home church (where he serves as a deacon) more than he wishes. That, along with wanting to be a full-time grandfather to his new twin grandsons, led to this difficult decision. Steven is a native of Thayer, MO. He majored in vocal music during his college years in Nashville, TN. He has been a Christian since age five and began singing during high school and college. In recent years he has served in church music. Steven joined The Melody Boys Quartet August 24th in Smithville, TN. He joined Gerald, Caleb, and Tim in the recording studio on Monday the 25th and is already proving himself to be a WONDERFUL asset to TMBQ. TMBQ wishes the best that God provides for Terry Robertson and family! They also want to welcome Steven Hickinbotham to The Melody Boys Quartet!
