The Gibbons Family has been traveling and singing southern gospel music for about ten years. We are proud to carry on this heritage deeply rooted in our family. The Gibbons Family consists of Dale Gibbons, Gayle Gibbons, and Dennis Jolly doing the vocals, and Ellen Jolly managing the product table for The Gibbons Family. Dale Gibbons began his musical interests playing the piano and singing with his mother as a teenager. In the late 70's he began playing the piano for Coleman Looper and the Way Travelers from Rickman, Tennessee. During those travels the group worked with Norm Livingston, a promoter from Dayton, Ohio. One Saturday afternoon during a concert in Livingston, Tennessee he met Norm's daughter Gayle. By August of the next year, Dale and Gayle were married and in December of 1980 they moved to Dayton, Ohio. Dale and Gayle worked with Pastor Norm at Greenview Calvary Tabernacle until 2001 when The Gibbons Family was formed. Since 2001 they have been preaching, and singing southern gospel music in different venues and churches across the eastern United States. Dale sings lead for the group and is known for his "let's have church" style of singing. Gayle Gibbons has been involved in gospel music all of her life. Gayle's dad and mom, Norm and Velma Livingston have pastored a church and been involved in promoting gospel singings for over 50 years. "I was six months old when my dad starting pastoring, I have been raised in church all my life".
