Welcome to "Chapel Hill." We are a Christian Country duo that sings Country Music with a message that God Loves us and sent his son Jesus to pay a debt he did not owe for we owed a debt we could not pay.
Why this name?
Mark lived in Chapel Hill TN when the group originated.
Do you play live?
We play acoustically live, and use master tracks when doing a performance in churches. We can put a live band together when needed for a venue.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The opportunity to get your music out there via the internet is amazing. There are so many great singer/songwriters that never get the chance to play their music. The record companies are no longer the only game in town anymore.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
We would consider it if the situation was right for us.
