The Steel City Quartet is very pleased to announce that they have been making preparations and rehearsing for their next long-awaited recording project that will begin on the evening of July 22nd at StudioPhonix, a state-of-the-art recording studio in Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania. 
The first song selection the group choose for their new project is titled, He Did It Because He Loved Me – an inspiring, toe-tapping southern gospel country number penned by international hit-maker Walter Cunningham of Northern Ireland whose self composed songs have been performed by some of gospel music’s finest recording artists, with over half a dozen recorded by the internationally famed Jordanainers. Check out our music page to hear a sample!
“We listened to the song demo one night after practice and we all liked He Did It Because He Loved Me right away,” lead singer, Tim explained. “Everybody in the group agreed – we wanted to record it. When Walter offered to send us the music bedtracks that were recorded by some of Nashville’s top session musicians – it was just a matter of setting some of our time aside to rehearse the song and schedule a date for recording our vocals .”
Shortly after deciding to record He Did It Because He Loved Me, Ross Allen, General Manager of Hillcrest Radio Marketing, and business acquaintance of Cunningham, contacted Tim and told him how excited both of them were about the Steel City Quartet singing and performing this song – and said, “Walter would really like to release it as a single with Hillcrest when it’s finished.”
Hillcrest Radio Marketing has earned a reputation for releasing some of the world’s premier country and gospel artists, and services over 600 radio stations worldwide. It is our great pleasure to announce that the Steel City Quartet’s recording of He Did It Because He Loved Me will be included on the Hillcrest Multi-Artist disc to be presented to radio stations internationally by the last week of September for airplay consideration.
Personal note from the SCQ group members:
“We hope and pray our fans and listeners will be blessed by the first single off our new project, and we want to thank everyone for their continued prayers and financial support.
We thank God for blessing The Steel City Quartet’s music ministry above and beyond all we could ever ask. HE is always faithful! Amen!
And, we especially thank Walter Cunningham and Ross Allen for their unwavering belief in our musical mission and for their very generous out-pouring of support.
God bless,
Tim, Leg’s, Ron, and Glenn |
