BIOGRAPHY


Since 1986, The Knight Family, from Northeast Tennesee has traveled almost 3 million miles singing the praises of the Savior.  Group matriarch, Linda Knight, has been singing for 57 years,  carrying the Gospel in song.  Oldest son Adam is a minister, musician, and vocalist who has produced countless albums for other artists and plays in studios around the country. His testimony includes a fall from grace which led to a 5 year stint of incarceration in Tennessee and Virginia.  After rededicating his life to the Lord he preached over 200 sermons, and saw over 400 inmates saved.  His wife, Angel is the daughter of prolific Bluegrass songwriter and Dove award recipient, Homer Jackson.  Angel brought her mountain soul to the group in 2013, from a rich Bluegrass and acapella heritage.  


The group has charted over a dozen songs in the Singing News charts. These include:

  • ​The Commission
