Northernaires

The Northernaires have a long history of excellence in gospel music and presence in the community.  They are in frequent demand as performers at local churches and other events throughout the city and state.  They were recently invited to be the featured performers at the State of Indiana Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration attended by various state leaders including the governor.
