Hickory, NC- National Charting Artist the Brothers Redeemed Quartet has announced the retirement of Bass singer Doyle Hopper, effective December 31, 2011. Doyle Hopper has been a vital part of the established quartet with his "George Younce" style voice for the past 7 years, and has made a lasting impression on those who have seen him perform. Hopper says “The busy schedule of the quartet along with my full time job during the week is simply wearing this old man out, and it is time for my journey to come to an end.” Brothers Redeemed stated "It has been wonderful to travel with one of the finest bass singers in all of Southern Gospel Music for the last 7 years. Doyle Hopper has poured his life and dreams into this Ministry, and for that we are thankful. He has become one of our dearest friends, and more importantly, will remain our brother! He is about to embark on a new chapter in his life, and Brothers Redeemed would like to wish him the very best wherever God may lead him.” Hopper will make his final appearance with the quartet on January 1, 2012 at Covenant Baptist Church in Conover, NC at 10:45am.

OPEN LETTER FROM DOYLE HOPPER
Dear Friends,
For the past 7 years I have been privileged to sing Bass for Brothers Redeemed Quartet. Over those 7 years, I have watched our fan-base grow tremendously. During this journey, I have created many friendships. Some, that I know will last a lifetime. However, there comes a time when the journey must end. So for me it will be December 31st, 2011. Working a full-time job, and keeping the busy schedule that the quartet has developed is wearing this “Old Man” out. I never dreamed that Brothers Redeemed would be traveling as much as some of the full-time groups that this Industry has to offer. With my age, it is simply taking it’s toll.
I would like to thank all of you for your friendship and support. It means the world to each member of TBRQT and especially me! I pray that each of you will continue to support “the guys” after my departure, because they truly deserve it!
May God bless you all, Doyle Hopper

"Doyle will be missed greatly. My prayers are with him as he starts his new journey. Maybe when we visit his RETIREMENT home he can sing a few with us. It will be like the first time we met him. We love buddy!" - KEITH HENDRIX
