Nashville artist lifts spirits at special concert in Humboldt

HUMBOLDT, Tenn. — Nashville artists visited a local church to perform for a terminally ill cancer patient.

Andrew Marshall, an artist from Nashville, visited the First Assembly of God Church in Humboldt to play for Troy and and Duffy Minges.

The concert was originally going to be at the Minges’ ranch, however due to road conditions, the concert was moved to the church.

The reason for the concert was to bring encouragement to the Minges family as they go through these troubling times.

Marshall performed a style of music at the concert he calls “outlaw gospel.”

“If other people can see in the midst of like the worst possible thing that can happen to you, and you still want to praise God in the middle of it, it might lend itself to when somebody else is having a bad day, they got fired, they stubbed their toe, whatever miniscule thing in the grand scheme of things, to look at her and say, ‘If she can stand up and praise God through this, my problems are nothing.'”

Marshall says he and his wife travel the country performing like this for those who need encouragement.
