I know, I’m a little surprised that I did, but also relieved because I was pretty much going to watch this drama regardless. My reaction to the premiere: Measured optimism. With the massive promo machine accompanying this drama-which got going about seven months in advance of its premiere, which is approximately six months more than the average other drama-you had to wonder if they were building it up to a fever pitch that no reasonable drama would be able to match in execution. My biggest concern about Heirs would that it would be all hype, no follow-through. Showing no signs of slowing down, the Kingdom Heirs teamed up with 3 Heath Brothers in 2021 for the single 'Good Day Coming On.826 OctoJanuHeirs: Episode 1 by javabeansįinally-and I mean FINALLY-we see the premiere of the most-hyped drama of the year, Heirs: He Who Wears the Crown, Endure Its Weight, which for purposes of efficiency and just plain sense we will be calling, simply, Heirs.

Issuing nearly an album per year into the 2010s, they closed out the decade with Something Good, The Last Big Thing, Everything in Between, and Something Good, Vol. Spurred by the demand of their growing audience, the Kingdom Heirs, who would undergo multiple lineup iterations over the years, soon became a force of nature in the contemporary gospel scene, releasing dozens upon dozens of albums, and taking home a plethora of industry awards. Because of the theme park's constant flow of country and Christian music fans, their residency greatly increased their national audience, and in 1989 the group released Steppin' on the Bright Side on Arrival. In 1986, they were asked to be resident performers at Dollywood. This large ensemble did very well on the Southern contemporary gospel circuit, performing at Silver Dollar City (which would later become Dollywood) and through the release of their debut, Just Arrived, on Morada in 1982. Kreis French played bass in the instrumental trio that accompanied the vocal quartet, which included drummer Dennis Murphy and keyboardist Jeff Stice. Eventually they began performing regionally and settled on a quartet of singers with Steve French singing baritone, Eric Bennett singing bass, David Sutton singing tenor, and Arthur Rice on lead. They grew up in a religious home in East Tennessee and started publicly performing the way that many contemporary Christian groups do - through their churches. Emerging in the early 1970s - the band became the resident gospel group at Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee in 1986 - the Kingdom Heirs have taken home multiple SGMA, Dove, and Singing News Fan Awards, and have released hundreds of videos and albums.īrothers Steve and Kreis French founded the Kingdom Heirs in 1981 as a vehicle for their musical ministry.

An award-winning and long-running Southern gospel ensemble, the Kingdom Heirs have been spreading the good word for over five decades via a rotating cast of talents.
