Brad Hudson leaving the Greenes

On the Singing News forum, poster blangley0904 posted the following quote, taken from TaRanda Greene’s myspace page,

“I have some news. After three years of singing full time with The Greenes, Brad Hudson is coming off the road. Brad has been a complete joy to sing with, however, with the addition of a beautiful baby boy last July, Brad has decided to stay home and take a position at a church here in Charlotte. He has graciously agreed to stay with the group until I get back on the road in April after having Josie.

With all of that being said, Tony and I haven’t really made any public announcement, but we need someone to fill this demanding position. We are looking to hire immediately and are looking for a guy that loves the Lord deeply and wants to travel and sing. You don’t really need to be a “Southern Gospel Singer”. If you’ve heard Brad, you know that he has more of a commercial sounding voice, and is a very versitile singer. This part is difficult for a lot of guys because it’s such a big range. If you think you can sing the part or know someone who can, please email me. Please only email me if you are serious about this. Tony and I want God’s will with our decision in hiring someone. The Greenes have been blessed with a full singing schedule with wonderful opportunities to serve Christ in capacities we never thought possible.”

I’ve heard the Greenes a few times with Brad and came away impressed every time.  With the Greenes looking to hire “immediately,” I wonder if Brad will work out a notice or if their piano player or someone else will fill in.

My prayers and best wishes to both the Greenes and Brad.
