Truly, one of gospel music’s living legends, Sherman Andrus has ministered to millions of people during his career that spans more than six decades and 40 recording projects.  This Grammy Award-winning singer has twice been inducted into the Gospel Music Hall Of Fame, and has sang with such household names as The Imperials, Andre Crouch And The Disciples, Andrus Blackwood And Company, and more.  He has made appearances as part of Bill Gaither’s Homecoming entourage, and has sang for Elvis Presley.
Throughout his life, Sherman has continually broken down barriers. Growing up in the small town of Mermentau, Louisiana, his first experience with singing gospel music was in his mother’s vocal group. His next step came from an association with life-long friend Andrae Crouch. His association with Andrae would continue as Crouch formed Andrae Crouch And The Disciples in 1964, in which Sherman was the original lead singer.  It was during these early years that Sherman would meet the love of his life, Winnie.  The couple married in 1966, and welcomed their son, Sherman Jr., in 1969.

Folkert-Hans - Born into a musical family in The Netherlands, Folkert-Hans grew up listening to the music of Phil Collins, and he started playing trumpet at an early age. He has had a passion for music all of his life, and he is very much looking forward to be returning to the Lynden Music Festival again this year!
