Brothers McClurgs legacy of music and ministry spans three generations and has a rich heritage of serving the local church. What started out as two bands fronted by brothers Anthony and Chris Hoisington, has turned into a group of Christian brothers who share a desire to see lives changed through worship.

The band name pays homage to Anthony and Chris greatest influence: their maternal grandfather Pastor Bill McClurg, who led the southern gospel group The McClurg Family Singers.

We see it as a way of continuing the legacy and ministry while giving it a fresh vision, says Chris.

Hailing from Buffalo, the band has brought warmth and hope to an area known for its frigid winters, as well as its depressed economynow making national headlines for as upswing. The bands mission is to carry Jesus message of life, hope and forgiveness to a cities that have been told theyre dead, hopeless and forgotten.

The Brothers love their community through prayer and acts of service, blessing the Church and uniting the Body of Christ in worship. Their goal has always included breaking down denominational barriers, starting with themselves as each band member comes from a different church tradition.

We want to spur one another on, lifting up the name of Christ inside the church, as well as in the streets, says Anthony. Our goal is to rally the church to action, loving one another and also loving the unlovely and replicating this passion in every city and community we encounter.

Chris explains, Brothers McClurg is a traveling version of your churchs worship team, with many players and faces each adding to what God is doing in times of worship.

The band, with four previous albums, is pleased to announce the release of their newest LP entitled Home. The record was going to be independently released following the bands amicable parting with Integrity Music, but now finds its home on the Sprig label. Additionally, Around The Mic is Homes companion release, celebrating the bands southern roots heritage. Both albums are available on iTunes, Amazon, and physically in Sprig Music store.
