"Dyllan Wright Adoption Benefit Concert" featuring "The Shadrix Trio"

We are so grateful that The Shadrix Trio has offered to provide their wonderful talent to support the growing family of Jessica and Justin Wright. They were blessed to adopt a son, Devin, almost 2 years ago and were recently presented with a second opportunity to add to their beautiful family. Dyllan Shadow Wright was born into this family June 30, 2012. The cost of the adoption fees, medical bills, etc. can be overwhelming and The Shadrix Trio has offered to have a fabulous night of Southern Gospel music t

o help offset these costs. We would love to see you there!!!

From Northwest Georgia, The Shadrix Trio is a young, exciting, anointed ministry that has been traveling throughout the United States as many as 250 dates per year. They have appeared in such areas as Russia, Mexico, El Salvador and the Bahama Islands. Still fairly new to the Southern Gospel Arena, The Shadrix Trio has performed and ministered for more than six years, sharing the stage with many of today's top names in Southern Gospel Music. The Shadrix Trio appear regularly in venues such as concerts, revivals, tv, fairs, Christian Cruises, and many Southern Gospel Expos. The Shadrix Trio can be heard nationally as well as internationally on radio.

His sweet spirit and humble voice will leave you captivated. Dedra Henry has provided the soprano for The Shadrix Trio since the year 2000.

Seasons and Changes...

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

Ecclesiastes 3:1 (KJV)

This is the scripture that comes to my mind as I think about what to write to all of you.

January 29, 2009 I made a huge leap of faith moving to Carrollton, GA to join in the ministry of The Shadrix Trio.  In the past three years, I have grown so much in my walk with the Lord and have learned a lot about myself.  I traveled many miles and have met an amazing abundance of fans and prayer warriors who support this ministry.  I had the joy of seeing hearts renewed, changed, mended, lifted, and encouraged, just by the words in the music such as, “I’m Gonna Make It Through”, or “Thank You Lord, For Your Blessings On Me”. I have had the honor of recording two CD’s, participating in Gospel Music Television, The Smoky Mountain Weekend Getaway, and even got to sing on a Cruise!  What an amazing three years I will never forget!  I truly believe that this was a season in my life that God wanted me to have; but as we all know, seasons must come to an end.  So, on April 14, 2012, I will be stepping down as a member of The Shadrix Trio.  

The last few months have been difficult for me with the health of my parents. I have decided to move back to Mishawaka, IN to help them in any way that I can.  My heart is sad because I will no longer get to sing with such powerful singers like Dedra and Barry, but will be glad to see my family and to get involved in my home church.  One thing for sure, I WILL NOT STOP SINGING! Please keep me and my family in your prayers as I return home.  

I want to say a special Thank You to Barry and Dedra and your families for opening your hearts and homes to me.  The kindness and love that you’ve given to me will never be forgotten.  Thank you for accepting me as a member of your family. 

I want to thank all of the Prayer Warriors and Fans who have lifted up TST.  I have seen your faithful prayers answered and have felt your overwhelming support. I Love you all!

So, if you happen to be traveling in the north part of Indiana close to Michigan. Look me up, I would Love you meet up with you.  

-Blessings In Christ

Psalm 100

¹Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. ²Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. ³Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. ⁴Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. ⁵For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

Shadrix Trio song grabs national attention in Christian music

Shadrix Trio song grabs national attention in Christian music

It’s not often that opening a new email message sparks a feeling of excitement.

That’s what happened to Barry Shadrix, who inadvertently learned that The Shadrix Trio’s single, “Unless We Go,” from the group’s latest album, “Let the Worshippers Agree,” will be No. 60 on the national Christian music charts for June.

“I was really excited,” Shadrix said. “I didn’t’ know anything about it. I got an email from the Singing News Magazine and they had told me they were missing the songwriter information and they had to email, ‘Can you please send me the songwriter information for this song so we can publish it on the charts?’ I said, ‘Are you serious?’... I was shocked.”

The group, which includes Dedra Henry and Angela McCaslin, has recently gotten phone calls from several different states from music lovers who want to order the CD.

“We’re been pretty excited about that,” Shadrix said.

For the past two months, the single has also been No. 41 on the music charts for Christian Voice Magazine.

“We had a song on the charts one time before, but it was in 2004,” Shadrix said.

The new single was written by Jonathan Montgomery, a friend of the group from Ashburn, Ga. The song was written to reach out and minister to people.

“It kind of talks about how the world isn’t going to know unless we go out and tell them,” Shadrix said. “That song pretty much expresses the vision of our ministry. We’ve been pretty excited that its had the success with radio that it has because it pretty much expresses the way we feel about our ministry.”

Henry had a range of emotions after learning their new song hit the music charts.

“I was extremely excited ... very blessed and humbled by it,” Henry said. “The song has a tremendous message behind it. The song represents the ministry and what we do and the fact that we’re just out here trying to tell the good news.”

May has proven to be a big month for the group, which is also celebrating its 11th anniversary with a concert Saturday at Holy Ground Baptist Church in Roopville, four miles south of Walmart on Highway 27 in Carrollton. The concert will begin at 6:30 p.m., and feature special guests BY FAITH from Manchester, Tenn. Dinner plates will be offered at 5 p.m.

Admission is free to the public.

“It’s just an event we put on every year in the community and its had pretty good success in the past few years,” Shadrix said. “We’ve been singing and traveling since 2001.”

He first formed the group with is older brother in 1999.

“I was only 14 years old,” Shadrix said. “I went to Villa Rica High School until the ninth grade, then I finished high school on the road by home schooling. I’ve been doing this a long time.”

During that time, Shadrix has seen a variety of places and met a lot of people.

“What I enjoyed the most is seeing everywhere you go, no matter what state, all the people are pretty much the same,” Shadrix said. “Everybody has the same problems, same issues.”

He also enjoys that their music often gives people hope. The group’s travels brought the members a lot of special memories to share back home such as the opportunities that have arisen over the years, such as singing on a gospel music cruise and going to El Salvador with World Vision, a non-profit organization that helps children in third-world countries.

“I didn’t think I would ever get the chance to do those type of things and God just opened the door for me to do that type of thing,” Shadrix said.

Henry, who has been with the group since 2000, enjoys being able to minister to people.

“I just love the fact that we have a ministry and we can be true to that part of it and I get to do it with family because Barry is part of my family now,” Henry said.

Shadrix married Henry’s niece, Jill.

“I’ve been singing with him for almost 11 years now,” Henry said. “I also write a lot of the music for the group.”

It has also given them many funny tales to share. During one trip, the trio were traveling in a bus driven by Henry’s father and it happened to be her first weekend on the road with the group.

“We were going to sing at this small church on top of a mountain in North Carolina,” Shadrix said. “When we got there, there was nowhere to park.”

While searching for a parking spot, they went down the wrong road and accidentally backed off into a ditch.

“It wasn’t funny at the time,” Henry said. “I was terrified. After they pulled the bus out the ditch, I went inside the church and slept on one of the pews.”

The group would usually sleep on the bus when arriving at a location late at night.

“I was too scared after that point,” Henry said.

The rest of the group joined her in the pews of the church and a once scary event has turned into one they can all laugh about.
