Beenes to perform in Carson City

In 1997 a musical family group began a journey following their calling to sing.

Little did the Beene family know how God would direct their footsteps or where He would lead them. All they really knew, was that there was a song and a dream in their heart.

The Beene Family will perform and share their musical ministry at 6:30 p.m. Sunday at Good Shepherd Wesleyan Church, 1505 Railroad Drive.

The free southern Gospel concert features three Beene brothers - Shandon, Brandon and Landon, who all grew up in a pastor's home in California.

While listening to their father's collection of music and seeing the groups who traveled out to the West Coast, they each began to realize that they wanted their future to be a musical one. As they matured they recognized that not only had God called them and given them the desire to sing Gospel music, but he had also given them the talents and capabilities to fulfill that calling.

All the while, God also prepared a young lady, Chrysta Branson, with an equally strong heritage, talent, and calling. It would be her marriage to middle brother Brandon Beene, that would complete the family harmony.

The concert is free; a love offering will be accepted to offset the group's expenses.
