Concert series coming to Salem Praise and Worship

The Perrys will be in concert June 21, beginning at 7pm at Salem Praise and Worship Fellowship in Salem, Arkansas.  Salem Praise and Worship Fellowship is locate at 682 West Hwy 62/412.  

If you have ever seen The Perrys in concert, you have undoubtedly sensed the power and conviction with which they sing. From the high-octane, hand-clapping hit, “I Wish I Could Have Been There,” to the anointed anthem, “If You Knew Him,” the Dove Award-winning group has been delivering soul-stirring performances across North America for nearly five decades. Their sound, unmistakable. Their calling, unarguable. Their performances, unforgettable. Their joy, unspeakable.

The Perrys—Libbi Perry Stuffle, Jared Stuffle, Dayton Gay, and Jason Gordon—have forged a deep sense of unity. This is due, in part, to the fires through which they have walked over the last few years. After battling a longterm illness, Tracy Stuffle, Libbi’s husband and Perrys‘ esteemed bass singer, passed away on February 4, 2018. With unparalleled determination, Libbi and her beloved group have continued to heed the call to carry the Gospel to the multitudes.

Loved by gospel music fans around the world, The Perrys have earned many accolades over their illustrious career. In addition to their Dove Award for Song of the Year and countless Dove nominations, they have garnered numerous #1 songs and 15 Singing News Fan Awards, including the 3-time Favorite Mixed Group honor, 2-time Song of the Year, Favorite Album, as well as Libbi being named both a 2-time Female Vocalist of the Year and 9-time Favorite Alto of the Year.

A career spanning fifty three years, their commitment to the calling of God upon their lives has never been greater. “Now, more than ever,” says Libbi, “we want to share the good news of Jesus Christ in song.” The Perrys are looking toward the future with great expectation. One cannot help but be affected by their story of tragedy and triumph. The Perrys are living proof that God can work all things both for our good and for His glory. “Yes, life is tough,” Libbi shares, “and we all have battles—some we win and some we lose—but we can choose joy.”

Dusty Aleman grew up in a small south central town in Texas called Smiley. He graduated from Smiley High School and later was drafted into the Army where he spent a tour in Vietnam in 1966 & 1967. Dusty started riding in rodeos when he came back from Vietnam. By the time he was 38 years old Dusty had already gone through 2 marriages and several relationships in between. During all those years Dusty had rodeoed, worked construction, and drove trucks. During the time of driving trucks, Dusty was introduced to amphetamines, marijuana, and eventually, cocaine.

In July 1984, Dusty left Texas and moved to Oklahoma in the hopes of starting a new life. In September 1984, Dusty attempted to take his life twice in a week and a half by putting a gun to his head. God was able to change Dusty’s mind both times. You see, God had other plans for Dusty’s life. Three weeks later, in October, Dusty met his present day wife, Myrna. They were married the following year in July 1985. In August 1989, Dusty found his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Before he met The Lord, Dusty had sang in dances, clubs, and bars. Dusty had always loved to sing and once he found Christ, he needed to sing about his new love in Christ. The combination of his style of music and the message of the gospel gave Dusty the vehicle he needed to share his love for Christ.
