Legacy Five

With the Cathedrals retiring in 1999 a new quartet was formed by Roger Bennett and Scott Fowler Legacy Five. This group has been one of our favorites and has been a favorite of the Singing News fans since their start.

Legacy Five has been a regular feature at the National Quartet Convention, and has preformed with the Gaither Homecoming Friends. They have been nominated for 40 Singing News Fan Awards, including Best Traditional Male Quartet in 2004. At the 2007 Fan Awards, Roger Bennett was posthumously awarded Favorite Musician Award. He had won it 15 times in a row, and is the holder of the record for most consecutive such awards to date. Pianist Roger Bennett died March 17, 2007 from complications related to leukemia.

Members include,

Tenor: Josh Cobb (1999-2000), Tony Jarman (2000-2004), Frank Seamans (2004-present)

Lead: Scott Fowler (1999-present)

Baritone: Scott Howard (1999-present)

Bass: Glenn Dustin (1999-present)
