Four voices. One purpose. Spoken for the King.
"We didn't choose the harmony — the harmony chose us."
Founded in 2007, Spoken 4 has spent nearly two decades touring across the United States and Canada, spreading the message of Jesus Christ through the power of four-part harmony. The group's story traces back to Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri, where several of the members performed as part of the park's in-house gospel quartet. It was there that Jon Charles Taggart and Cecil Stringer, girding themselves with prayer, felt God calling them to take the saving message of Christ on the road full time.
The name itself came from a moment of inspiration. While the group was searching for the right identity, Jon's wife Amanda suggested they find a name that let people know they were "spoken for by Christ." The name Spoken 4 stuck — and the rest is history.
Over the years some members have come and gone, but one constant has never changed: a deep drive to see lives transformed through the power of Christ. Today's lineup — Brandon Britton (Tenor), Jon Charles Taggart (Lead), Brian Arnold (Baritone & Piano), and Cecil Stringer (Bass) — brings together four distinct vocal styles and a sound that has grown far beyond its Southern gospel roots. Today Spoken 4 encompasses Southern Gospel, Country Gospel, and Praise & Worship, reaching audiences of every generation with a message that never changes.
