In 1997 a musical family group began a journey following their calling to
sing. The Beene Family's story is unique. Little did the 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.
It is melody that started early on as loving, Godly parents introduced
their children to traditional Gospel music. Three brothers, Shandon,
Brandon and Landon Beene, grew up in a pastor’s home in California. All
three boys were heavily influenced and inspired by the church work and
ministry that happened around them. 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. And so they set out, leaving behind them their family, their
friends, and everything they knew to follow that calling. Their journey
led them from the West Coast to the East Coast and in a short amount of
time, to the forefront of the Gospel music world.
The Beene Family has quickly become recognized as one of the
most exciting families on the road today. They have often been compared
to many of the most popular groups in Gospel music history including
the Happy Goodman's, the Bill Gaither Trio, the Speer's, and others.
While such comparisons are humbling, it's also an exciting standard
that sets the stage for the future. Gospel music lovers can rest
assured that they are in good hands. The Beene Family's uniqueness and
strength is visable from the time that they they walk onto the stage.
Their energy and professionalism are evident from the moment the first
note is sung. Yet, their tenderness and discernment for ministry comes
from a walk with the Lord that's as strongly recognizable as their
talent. From sounds of traditional Gospel to Inspirational, the music
of The Beene Family is the music of the Church.
Brand new doors continue to open for the Beene Family
everyday. They have numerous radio singles, hits, and accolades to
their credit. Their performance schedule has included major concert
stages such as Bill Gaither's Homecoming Concerts, National Quartet
Convention, Great Western Fan Fest, as well as regular appearances with
concert promoters Bill Bailey, Garden Spot Promotions, and others. The
Beene Family also makes regular appearances in Bible Conference
settings with standing invitations to such respected camps at Mount
Hermon and Cannon Beach Christian Conference Center.
Although the Beene Family sings at various venues, it's the
local church that has been the heartbeat of their music ministry since
the beginning. While their main focus is to see every lost person they
come in contact with find salvation, the Beene Family places a great
deal of emphasis on uplifting family entertainment, personal
encouragement and heart stirring spiritual inspiration. Pastor's across
the country agree that their ministry is perfectly suited for the needs
of their congregations.
No matter what the situation or venue, the music and ministry
of the Beene Family has a reputation for winning hearts and touching
lives. Many miles traveled, and many more to go, the Beene Family is
set to continue the journey set before them, singing all along the way.
