Bob Sellers On The Road ROLL TIDE. If you’ve ever met Bob Sellers you must first say “Roll Tide” and you will be a welcome friend. Bob was born in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, the home of University of Alabama where he attended. His home town is Gordo, Alabama, which is a small community about thirty minutes west. He currently lives in Carrollton, Alabama. While attending Gordo High School, he met his sweetheart, Kansas, who he later married. Sellers said, “When I was too young to remember, my mom would take my sister Stephanie and I to sing harmony with her, and we would sing in our home church as a trio. I was saved at eight years old in a revival service, where my grandfather Paul Sellers was preaching. I am most blessed to have been born and raised in a Christian home, to my parents Robert and Helen Sellers. Everything I’ve ever known about singing gospel music came from my mom.” Groups like The Kingsmen, Gold City and Cathedrals influenced his life growing up. Bob quit singing around twelve until

he was 20 because he was so shy. Everything changed when he was at the home of his high school sweetheart whom he was dating. He discovered her collection of accompaniment tracks and they started a conversation about singing. She talked him into doing a duet with her at her home church, and that sparked Bob’s interest in singing. After graduating from the University of Alabama with a degree in finance, he married Kansas Kernop on June 6, 1998. They now have three children, Codey, Ellie and Will. Sellers stated, “My Dad had a 43 year career in banking and I started working with him part-time when I was still in high school, but my dream was to sing gospel music full-time.” Bob started his first group, Capstone Quartet, that sang on the weekends. He met The Kingsmen while singing with his quartet. His granddad died in 2000, and a year later, he promoted his first concert the Rev. Paul E. Ellers Memorial Concert with The Kingsmen
