The Word of God tells us in Matthew 18:20 “where two or three are gathered in His name - there He will be.” This verse inspired the naming of this Southern Gospel mixed trio. 2-R-More is comprised of singers, songwriters, evangelists and ministers of the Gospel. 2-R-More group members come from different denominations with different musical talents. The message delivered through original songs is full of the Gospel and truth and inspired by God. 2-R-More formed in the Spring of 2001 and regrouped in 2006 after a brief leave in 2004.
2-R-More has shared the stage with many of today’s top Southern Gospel artists including: Gold City, The Kingsmen, The Perrys, Dove Brothers, The Crabb Family, Naomi & the Segos, The Nelons, The Bradys, The Dixie Melody Boys, The Melody Trio, Jeff & Sheri Easter, The Freemans, The Anchormen and many more. Their Live DVD is currently being aired by GMT through Sky Angel and many other Independent TV Stations across the United States, Canada and UK. Their Radio Single, “If I Could Life My Life Over” has reach as high as #30 and continues to be listed on the only 100% fan voted chart reported by Gospel Music Times. This single as well as their other release, “Hold Me Up Lord” appeared in the Christian Voice Magazine’s Top 100 Chart. The group is made up of group members, Hugh Culbreth, Chad Jackson and Joan Mahaffey.
