After 32 years of music and marriage, Jeff and Sheri continue to encourage hearts while setting a standard of excellence in the field of southern and country gospel music. Traveling now with their daughter Morgan on vocals, Jeff and Sheri have a dynamic sound/stage presence with unbelievable family harmonies and an authentic ability to communicate a message of hope.
For Jeff and Sheri, gospel music is genetically programmed into their DNA. As members of acclaimed musical families – Jeff’s father is one of the Easter Brothers, and Sheri’s mother is a member of the Lewis Family – they grew up surrounded by the sound of people praising God through their musical gifts.
In August of 1984, both were at the Albert E. Brumley Sundown to Sunup Gospel Singing in Arkansas. Jeff, who was playing bass for the Singing Americans at the time, took the opportunity to reintroduce himself to Sheri’s mother, Polly; they had met on a previous occasion. Polly introduced Jeff to Sheri, and the two were married ten months later.
They traveled and performed as part of the Lewis Family for several years. But in 1988 they decided it was time to strike out on their own, and they haven’t looked back since. Also joining Jeff and Sheri on the road is their daughter Morgan singing harmonies, her husband, Landan Smith, who plays drums, Maura Grace, their youngest daughter, who is a regular highlight of Jeff and Sheri’s program, and cousin Jared Easter on steel guitar, acoustic, mandolin and banjo.
Jeff and Sheri have been nominated for numerous Dove Awards and won nine. They’ve also received multiple Grammy nominations, and Sheri has been named Singing News Favorite Alto 11 times and the Singing News Female Vocalist four times. In addition, she has claimed 21 multi-genre industry-voted female vocalist awards. Jeff and Sheri’s wall of awards also includes three Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music Association Awards, two International Country Gospel Music Association Awards, nine Voice Awards for Christian Country Group, four Hearts Aflame Awards, and three Cash Box awards. They also have participated in the Gaither Homecoming video series since 1993, which have sold over 20 million units.
Apart from their frequent appearances on the Gaither Homecoming tour and videos, Jeff and Sheri have a fairly heavy touring schedule of their own.
“When we perform, we want people to leave a little different than when they came in,” Sheri explains. “We want them to have a great time smiling, laughing, crying, and healing. We want them to know God loves them and that He is in control.”
