Overview
The Inspirations have been a cornerstone of Southern Gospel music since 1964, when chemistry teacher Martin Cook formed the group with his high school students in Bryson City, NC. Their rise to national prominence in the 1970s was marked by their first #1 hit “Jesus Is Coming Soon,” followed by an unprecedented streak of chart-topping songs.
Today’s lineup continues the group’s legacy of traditional Southern Gospel music through a unique blend of seasoned and younger vocalists. Known as the Young Inspirations, the current ensemble features Luke Vaught (piano/baritone), Roland Kesterson (lead), Isaac Moore (tenor), and Wyatt Austin (bass), maintaining the quartet’s commitment to their classic sound and conservative presentation.
Through nearly six decades of ministry, The Inspirations have remained true to their traditional roots while inspiring new generations with their authentic approach to gospel music.
