We are so excited that our first single from Heaven’s Worth Waiting For has made the Singing News top 80 charts. Thanks to all the DJs for playing She’s Working On Her Testimony and thanks to y’all for requesting it. But most important, we hope the song has been a blessing and touched someone’s life.

The Watkins Family has added another full-time musician to their ministry. Jonathan Maness of Knoxville, Tenn., will perform on mandolin and guitar. Maness was most recently part of the bluegrass band the Dixie-BeeLiners. He has made select appearances for the Watkins Family previously.
Maness also toured with Valerie Smith and Liberty Pike, and Young Harmony. He has performed with Sam Bush, Doc Watson, David Holt, Wayne Henderson, and Riders In The Sky. He holds a bachelor’s degree in classical guitar performance from Appalachian State University. “We are so excited to be adding this extremely talented young Christian gentleman to our ministry,” said Judy Watkins.
“Jonathan has a positive up-beat attitude that adds to his many talents,” Lorie said. “His addition gives us the ability to present to our audiences a fuller, richer, and broader sound in our performances. We are very thankful to have him join us.”
The group which includes matriarch Judy Watkins and her three adult children Todd, Lorie and Shanon continue a path sharing their love of Jesus through traditional music touring across the United States and Canada since 1982.
