Brass, Harmony, and 30 Years of Faith: The Hyssongs Join Horizon Records with “Good News Savior”

NASHVILLE, TN — In a move that pairs decades of authenticity with a fresh creative chapter, Horizon Records announced today that it has signed beloved family group The Hyssongs to its prestigious roster of Southern Gospel artists. The news arrived simultaneously with the announcement of the group’s debut single for the label, “Good News Savior,” set for release on May 1 and now available for pre-save and pre-add. Hailing from Maine, The Hyssongs have long been a distinctive force in gospel music—not only for their tight family harmonies and Christ-centered lyrics but also for their rare and delightful use of trumpet (Dell) and trombone (Richard), an instrumental signature that has made them instantly recognizable on radio and the Southern Gospel charts. As the family prepares to celebrate 30 years in music ministry this summer, the signing marks both a milestone and a fresh sending forth. “We are excited to have joined the Crossroads family,” the group shared. “It is an honor to be part of a company with a rich heritage in gospel music. Together with Horizon Records, we will continue to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ around the world.” While their debut for the label leans on keyboard and guitars rather than brass to paint a vivid portrait of a “good news Savior in a bad news world,” the Hyssongs’ voices remain as unmistakable as ever—warm, seasoned, and full of unshakable joy.

Horizon Records’ Greg Bentley has been watching their ascent for years, and his enthusiasm is palpable. “I’ve been aware of The Hyssongs for quite some time,” Bentley said. “Their songs started showing up on the Singing News monthly charts, and the one that really caught my ear was their #1 song, ‘I Tell Them Jesus,’ in 2018. Since then, their following has continued to grow and expand. Dell, Susan and Richard have become a staple in the genre, and with Richard’s wife Kelly and their daughter Makayla now joining in, I think the outlook for the family is strong.” That strength is backed by an impressive resume: Singing News Fan Awards, SGNScoops Diamond Awards, multiple Top Ten Trio honors, and five #1 radio singles including “There Is A God,” “Choose Life,” and “Let the Hallelujahs Ring.” Absolutely Gospel.com once named them among ten artists to watch, and their album Faith & Family was voted a Top 10 album of the year in 2017. Now, with “Good News Savior” on the horizon and a three-decade legacy behind them, The Hyssongs are proving that some sounds only get sweeter with time—and that the good news is always worth singing, whether with brass, keyboards, or the simple, powerful harmony of a family bound by faith.
