From The Young Neighborhood
ALL GLORY TO GOD TO WHOM ALL PRAISES ARE DUE. We thank our parents, pastors, managers, many friends & supporters. The YNGS gives special thanks to our friend & mentor Micheal Celestine for his assistance with both rhythm & lead guitars.
We are looking forward with great anticipation of upcoming tours that will be even more inspiring because we have so many new “home towns” in which to perform.
