The Singing Men of WGNN

The purpose of the Singing Men of ‘GNN is to: “Sing and Declare the Wonders of God and share His Good News.”

In the summer of 1999, Mark Burns, General Manager of WGNN was led to establish a Christian Men’s Chorus. Under the original direction of Dr. Barrington Coleman, Professor and Director of the University of Illinois Men’s Glee Club, men were attracted to join from all walks of life. This diverse group consists of men of all ages, professions, denominations and life experiences, including physicians, farmers, professors and plumbers. Today, “The Singing Men of GNN” are more than sixty enthusiastic men, from towns throughout east central Illinois. They are directed by Stephen McClarey, the long-time Director of the Decatur Park Singers and the Greater Decatur Chorale.

A typical concert consists of traditional hymns, worship and gospel songs; sprinkled with patriotic selections; and seasoned with modern praise to bless a diverse audience. Selections include various instruments, solos, trios, quartets, testimonies and audience participation. “The Singing Men of ‘GNN” are approaching 100 concerts in venues from Chicago to Paris Illinois. They have included University of Illinois-Krannert Center, Memorial Stadium, Assembly, National Hot Air Balloon Festival, Virginia Theater, Christmas Concerts, Auto Shows, Community Fairs, Church Events, Veterans Celebrations, Patriotic Events, Community Events and Dinner Theaters.

Come and join us in celebrating their beautiful voices and message they bring!
