Beyond the Song
by Jantina Baksteen
Lance Driskell has a great song out on radio called, “He’s Still There.” His seasoned, passionate voice and the beautiful melody are the first things that draw the listener in to pay attention to the relevant lyrics. Here is the story of soloist Lance Driskell. Jantina Baksteen: The first time I ever heard you was on New Journey Radio. My goodness. Where have you been? I want to know more about who’s behind that incredible voice. So fire away and share with the readers about who Lance Driskell is? Lance Driskell: I’m originally from Clanton, Alabama. I’m currently living in The Rocket City: Huntsville, Alabama. I’m married to my beautiful loving wife, Erin. I have two girls, Madison and Maecie, and one son, Parker. JB: What is your history in Gospel Music? LD: I’m a third generation gospel singer. My granddad began singing in old convention singings with his brothers and sisters. Through the years, it moved down to my mom and uncles and eventually to me. I’m the last in the line if one of the great-grandchildren don’t take it up. I played drums and later sang with my family for most of my childhood. In 1995, I believe, I met a wonderful man by the name of Donny Lewis, he allowed me to join his ministry team singing at youth events and churches. I met some of the best people doing that. In 1997, I helped start a local gospel trio, Holy Destiny.
