I'm Lynn Sanders, 1st Tenor.  I was born in Salem, Oregon and raised in the Northwest.  My musical training began with formal vocal training from a very early age with my father who was classically trained.  I continued training throughout high school with a vocal coach.  I sang in three traveling groups in my twenties in which there were many incredible experiences such as singing before the United States Congress.  Music has always been a major part of my life.  I have enjoyed serving as choir director in our church for many years.  It is the conduit that I am blessed with that is used to express my praise for my Lord in worship.

I heard my first Gospel Quartet at the age of 9 years old.  The Blackwood Brothers came to the Northwest on tour.  I wore those albums out.  (I still have them by the way)  I used to try to emulate J.D. Sumner back then.  We moved to Akron, Ohio when I was 16 and attended "The Cathedral of Tomorrow" where the infamous Cathedral Quartet began.  From that point on, I started the dream to sing in a Southern Gospel Quartet. 

I have been married for 28 years to my incredible lovely bride Kathy.  She would have to be incredible to be married to me!  She has given me 3 beautiful daughters, Keri, Lindsey and Erin.  Keri and her husband Dallas gave us a beautiful granddaughter, Ava.  I am a lucky man to have the love and support of my dear family.

While dreaming of one day singing at the National Quartet Convention, I am employed as an account manager by a foodservice brokerage company in the Charlotte, NC area.
