Zion Baptist Church, 7594 Old Hickory Blvd.) Friday, the Stellar Awards Red Carpet and taping of the Bobby Jones Gospel Hour.
The three time regional winners of Verizon Wireless' How Sweet the Sound have been consistent on their road to success and spreading the message of Christ through music. Their current album, The Evolution II peaked at number 4 on Billboard's Top Gospel Albums chart and has remained in the top 25 since its November 2012 release. They debuted on the Top 30 BDS Gospel Radio Chart in August 2013 at number 30, where they spent nearly 50 weeks and ranked at spot 25 in the Media Base Gospel Chart. Callahan’s SOG also made the 2013 ballot for a Grammy Award nomination in the "Best Gospel Song", "Best Contemporary Performance", and "Best Gospel Album" categories.

To see what God is doing and has done is really mind-blowing...HE is truly my Dream-maker".
Selected of God has since graced some of the biggest audiences and stages in America from the 2011 Super Bowl and the Detroit Tigers vs. Yankees playoff game, to a Monday Night Football performance with soul legend Jimmy Scott.

They have also been featured as guest performers with Patti LaBelle, Kem, Aretha Franklin, Ron Isely and Wyclef Jean. Recently named the Ambassadors of Detroit by Chrysler, they have blazed a trail for others to follow. The choral group consists of teachers, accountants, nurses, military personnel, hairdressers, even the unemployed, are represented in this group who resemble the fabric work of our great country; ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Only the best is yet to come for Callahan and the ultra talented and anointed Selected of God.
