About Dotson Family Quartet
The Dotson Family is made up of Christine and Archie and adopted family members Carol Hutto, Ken Dunkin, and Darrell Hawkins. We have been blessed to have such talented Christian friends. God, no doubt put our group together for His glory and purpose!

We now offer Southern Gospel with a touch of Bluegrass - Quartet Style!! We praise the Lord with Christine at the keyboard, Darrell at bass guitar and Archie playing everything he can get his hands on.

Our group sings the old gospel favorites to perfection with perfect harmony and most of our other songs are originals written by Archie himself. Their popularity, is growing steadfastly and winning the hearts of Southern Gospel Music fans all over the country.

God's desire for us, and our prayer for you, is that God will use our music ministry to bring the light, to be that reflection of God's light, and to share the riches and freedom of God's love through Jesus to each life we have the opportunity to touch.

Although the Dotson Family sings in various venues, it's the local church that has been heartbeat of our music ministry since the beginning. Pastor's agree, that our ministry is perfectly suited for the needs of their congregations.

No matter what the situation, or venue, the music ministry of the Dotson Family has a reputation for winning hearts and touching lives. Many miles traveled, and many more to go, the Dotson Family is ready to continue the journey set before them, singing all along the way.

We are a "regional" quartet located in the Central, Alabama area. We sing/perform primarily on Saturdays and Sundays. Our travel is focused primarily in Alabama and the states surrounding Alabama (GA, TN, NC, SC, MS & FL) but that does not mean that we will not travel further.

Contact us to schedule The Dotson Family and experience Southern Gospel-Quartet Style! We will sing at your church, group function, fund-raiser, special event, service, or occasion.

There is no charge or fee for the group to participate in your special event. Any special donations or love offerings will be accepted to offset expenses.
