[Update: As of February 18th, Suttles has joined the GVB. My thoughts on the new promo video are now available here<\/a>.]<\/strong>
\nVarious other bloggers have been rounding up everything that can be found on Todd Suttles, the potential fifth man in Bill Gaither\u2019s GVB lineup. His name has come out of nowhere, since he has little background in live music. However, I have read that he\u2019s done some studio work, but his day job is an athletic trainer. According to a fan quoted on Musicscribe<\/a>, he could \u201ckill you with one punch.\u201d Cool.
\nBut then I realized that I actually had heard Suttles\u2019s voice before. You see, David also posted a video of Wes Hampton singing \u201cIt is Well,\u201d which I had fixed for lip-sync and reposted on my Godtube channel some time ago. I noticed this second guy taking the third verse, but never got his name. Turns out, that was Todd! Here is the (fixed) video:
\n[gigya height=\u201d255\u2033 width=\u201d400\u2033 src=\u201dhttp:\/\/media.salemwebnetwork.com\/godtube\/resource\/mediaplayer\/5.6\/player.swf\u201d allowfullscreen=\u201dtrue\u201d allowscriptaccess=\u201dalways\u201dwmode=\u201dopaque\u201d flashvars=\u201dfile=http:\/\/www.godtube.com\/resource\/mediaplayer\/F0B0ECNU.file&image=http:\/\/www.godtube.com\/resource\/mediaplayer\/F0B0ECNU.jpg&screencolor=000000&type=video&autostart=false&playonce=true&skin=http:\/\/media.salemwebnetwork.com\/godtube\/resource\/mediaplayer\/skin\/default\/videoskin.swf&logo.file=undefinedtheme\/default\/media\/embed-logo.png&logo.link=http:\/\/www.godtube.com\/watch\/%3Fv%3DF0B0ECNU&logo.position=top-left&logo.hide=false&controlbar.position=over\u201d]\nHis voice bears a striking resemblance to Jason Crabb. However, in my opinion that performance wasn\u2019t his best. Here is he is chilling out to \u201cGeorgia On My Mind\u201d:

\n[Added February 18th: <\/strong>HT to MusicScribe reader Philip Murray for this\u00a0low-quality duet of \u201cEncourage My Soul\u201d:]<\/strong>
\n<\/iframe> \nWe don\u2019t have much else on him yet, except <a href=\"https:\/\/myspace.com\/tsuttle\/music\/songs\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">this Myspace link<\/a> rustled up by Aaron Swain. Even that is mostly empty save for one really lame ballad (which is the song\u2019s fault, not his) and \u201cAmen.\u201d There are also a few low-quality <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=w3EN-CuAYoI&feature=youtu.be\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">recent<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8SYDXANMYio&feature=youtu.be\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">videos<\/a> of him filling in with the vocal band, though none featuring him. I was wondering, \u201cIs this guy really short or is Adam Crabb just really tall?\u201d until I watched some from a better angle. The verdict is in: Dude is SHORT. He does seem to be fitting in well with the band\u2019s sense of humor: \nhttp:\/\/youtu.be\/lMOQDT5KuvI&rel=0 \nMore: \nhttp:\/\/youtu.be\/VC4VY32i1Ng&rel=0 \nhttp:\/\/youtu.be\/yjCroW4ospM&rel=0 \nI\u2019m hopeful, but not entirely sure about Suttles. He\u2019s fresh-faced and talented, with winning stage presence, but from a purely vocal perspective he still strikes me as a little<\/em> green and pitchy. Furthermore, he seems to have an easier time \u201cselling\u201d a power number than a quiet one. However, this industry could use a bit of fresh talent, and for Bill to catapult an unknown to instant stardom would be exciting. I would like to see where Suttles could go with more training and experience. \nWhat do you think?<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[Update: As of February 18th, Suttles has joined the GVB.
