Members of The Gospel Jubilee Singers

Johnnie Holloway  

With a voice akin to Sam Cooke and one that transcends ages, Johnnie Holloway is one to be recognized.  Although animated in his performances, he his refreshingly humble.  If you asked him, he would rather call what he does “ministry”.  Johnnie is from Raleigh, NC and married with eight children.  Ordained into the ministry in 1983 and a former pastor lends itself well to shepherding souls.   

Johnnie joined The Gospel Jubilees at the age of ten.  He was called little Johnnie then but is now known as Pops in the group.  He later became the lead vocalist.  Their latest release “Consecrated” has songs penned by Johnnie along with his family.  Johnnie prides himself on originality and being a member of a third generation group.  He has a great ear.  He even has used this gift to produce the recordings of various choirs and groups.  

 After attending college and retiring from IBM, he decided to teach.  Teaching is dear to Johnnie’s heart.  He is currently teaching in the Wake County Public School System.    

Sean Holloway            

As an extremely talented vocalist, guitarist and writer Sean has been mistakenly underrated in the gospel industry thus far.  However, this multi-talented artist is stepping up to show the industry that the quartet of today has a much broader range than the quartet of the past.  His abilities raise the bar considerably for other artist in the industry now and in the future.   

Descending from a family of singers, musicians and preachers in Raleigh, NC, music has been his mainstay.  Sean started playing guitar in his family’s group “The Gospel Jubilee Singers” at 16 years old.  Today, he is still singing alongside his brothers, cousin and father.  He has written, sung and played guitar and bass on their newly released project “Consecrated”.  

Sean has performed and or recorded with many artists.  He played guitar on Tony Terry’s latest gospel CD “Changed”.   He has even acted in the Gospel play “Family Affair” featuring Curtis Blake of Tyler Perry’s play “Diary of a Mad Black Woman”.   

Sean loves recording in the studio and feeds off the crowd during live performances.  He has a varied guitar style that includes a little bit of Jazz, R&B, Country, Rock, Pop and of course Gospel.  This versatility allows him to be at home amongst many genres of music.        

Sean has had the privilege of touring Europe and throughout the U.S.  He has also appeared on Bobby Jones’ Gospel Show and numerous T.V. appearances with The Gospel Jubilees.  He loves the Lord and desires to be the light on a hill for others. 

Joel Holloway 

Joel Holloway is the son of 2 preachers and one thing he always wanted to do was play the piano. Tim Farrar’s playing was the spark that inspired him to play.  Lessons later started with Milton Evans; teaching him church songs and a little about how to read music.  During that time the lessons were sporadic and they soon stopped because of Joel’s athletic career.  While in college, Joel discovered his passion for music.  He eventually changed his major and graduated from North Carolina Central University with a B.A. in music spawning the Joel Holloway we have today.  He is now a sought after musician, writer and producer, performing styles from R&B, Jazz to Gospel.  He has performed with: Tony Terry, Grady Tate, Cameo, YahZarah, Black Street, Erika Badu, DeWayne Woods, the renowned NCCU Jazz Ensemble and Touring choir, and many more.  Joel has had several accomplishments including but not limited to the following:
