Favorite Anecdote From the Road:

A few years ago, Stuart had some dental work done. His front tooth had gotten loose so he went to the dentist to get it worked on. The dentist pulled the loose tooth and then cemented it back as a temporary solution until he could get the bridge made. Well this was the weekend before NQC and we had just finished singing at a church in Indiana on Saturday night. It was late when we finished singing and we went to dinner at a steak house. Stuart’s tooth had been holding in there pretty good and he was being very careful about what he ate. We were used to seeing Stuart hit the groceries pretty hard! Seeing him cut everything up and take little bites was, in itself, pretty funny to watch. Well, we’re sitting at the table with several other folks and I look over at Stuart who has just taken a bite out of a dinner roll and he has a look on his face that is somewhere between total shock and unbelievable terror! It was then that I realized, the only thing that can inspire that kind of look is a missing tooth! Stuart started to excuse himself from the table. I don’t know if you have ever heard anyone try to speak without pulling their lips apart, but it is FUNNY! Well, after we got settled down and finished eating, we headed to Walmart to get some Krazy Glue. Stuart glued the tooth back and we made it the week through NQC. He’s got the problem fixed permanently now but I still don’t think he’s eaten another roll since!

Shannon Shelby

Shannon Shelby is Mike’s son and is a young man whose musical abilities are nothing short of phenomenal. He has been with the ministry since its early years and is an accomplished drummer, guitarist, bass guitarist, and pianist. Shannon’s vocal talents match his instrumental accomplishments. He has the ability to croon a ballad, belt out a powerful anthem, or deliver an “edgy” contemporary song.  Shannon’s youthful enthusiasm makes him an instant favorite with young and old alike. He is bringing a new audience to Southern Gospel music. In addition to his other talents, Shannon is also a great song writer and the musical arranger for the group. Shannon started his own publishing company in 2010 and publishes much of the music that Eternal Vision records. More impressive than his musical ability is the fact that he has chosen to use his considerable talent in God’s service. His commitment to ministry is genuine and heartfelt and serves as a remarkable example to others . Shannon completed bible classes at Crown College in Knoxville, TN. He currently resides in Knoxville Tennessee with his wife Kayla and their daughters Annabelle Rose, Scarlett Grace, and Julianna Pearl.

Favorite Bible Verse: Romans 8:28

Favorite Food: STEAK!!! (or any other meat)

Favorite Song: “Where No One Stands Alone” by Mosie Lister

Likes: Listening to, playing, and surrounding myself with as much music as possible, and playing Sony PS3

Dislikes: Riding next to tractor trailers that can’t stay in their lane, The response “the sky” when I ask someone “what’s up?” and finally, the many incorrect versions of our group name such as, The Eternal Vision Sangers, The Eternal Visions, Internal Vision, or Greater Vision  (Greater Vision ain’t crazy about that one either!) ect. ect.

Favorite Anecdote From the Road:
I have been on the road so long that there are too many to mention! A couple of my favorites though are the time I set the back of the bus on fire with a pillow and a lamp, and the time I sneezed in Gary’s mouth in the dark one night, or maybe the way I kept managing to mash Gary’s bad toe! I didn’t mean to, it just worked out that way!
