MY COMMENTS
I first heard about the John Marshall Family when they came to sing at my local church  (Trinity Baptist Church of Arlington, TX which pastored by Bob W. Smith) I was very impressed with their music. I bought two of their CD's at their book and tape table after the end of the service. I have played their music for a long time on Old Christian Radio. I am glad that I NOW have the privilege to promote and sell their CD's in the Old Fashioned Christian Radio Music Store.

Message in the CD insert
Music has always had a huge influence on me. When I reflect on my childhood in the hills of West Virginia, there comes to mind three memories concerning music that made a deep impression: One was the singing school in our local church taught by the shaped note system. Do-re-mi and all that. Second, was a girl that came to our house and played on our cheap guitar and sang along. Then there was the concert by my cousins on the schoolhouse steps. I hid in the bushes and listened to the guitar, banjo, mandolin, and fiddle a long time. It sounded so beautiful.

When I was a teenager, our family moved to the mountains in northeastern West Virginia, and there was music all around. Most of it was created by two of my uncles and their two friends. Others were involved also. Because of these influences, I developed a great desire for music. And that great desire is probably my greatest talent.

As I became involved in playing stringed instruments, these influences of my childhood and teen years helped to direct me along the path that has produced the Marshall sound for the Lord. Not showy or flashy, but the pure sound of acoustic instruments blended with the close harmony--like the song of the wood thrush as it gives forth its God-given song in the cool of the evening from the deep woods of a beautiful West Virginia mountainside.

About The John Marshall Family...

  From the beginning, the John Marshall Family has striven to keep their music pure and conservative.
The Lord made it very plain to John Marshall that He wanted the family to step out in faith and begin traveling full-time. This journey began in the fall of 1976 and they will be celebrating 25 years of ministry next year. Prior to this time, Brother Marshall had pastored in several states and had begun training the children for music in the house of the Lord. In September of 1976 they left their home on Long Island, New York with only two meetings lined up. God has proven to be more than sufficient to meet every need and has kept them busy serving Him. He has opened doors for them to minister in every state of the Union and several countries around the world.

        At the onset of full-time ministry, the family numbered 6 daughters. The first core group that sang consisted of Dad, Mom and the three oldest girls. Over the years, the Lord has added 2 sons and 2 more daughters. Each one has been taught to play at least two instruments (guitar, piano, banjo, violin, mandolin, trumpet, baritone, harp, harmonica, and Dobro) and to use their voice for the glory of God. As the years have passed, the four oldest daughters and the oldest son have married and gone on to serve the Lord in different parts of the world. You can read about their families at the extended family update page. The group now totals 6 — Dad, Mom, Sharon 27, Joanna 26, Jessica 23, and Monica 18. They continue to travel the USA and bring a ministry of preaching and music to churches small and large.

       The thrust of the tape/CD ministry is to provide a variety of Godly music with a Scriptural message. The John Marshall Family believes that if music is to be different from the world, the musician's goal must be to glorify and honor Christ and Him alone. Only then will the world hear and see what they are thirsty for — not an imitation of what they already have — but a reflection of God's light in a separated Christian life.
