Unity 4 Quartet Biography
Located in the most Northeastern corner of Mississippi, you will find Iuka. Iuka is located in Tishomingo County. The population of the town is 2,964. There has been one traffic light in the entire County for decades. In 2022, Iuka had two more traffic lights installed. Tishomingo County has two of the most beautiful state parks, J.P. Coleman State Park and Tishomingo State Park. Iuka has the only Walmart in the County and the highest point in Mississippi, Woodall Mountain, at 807 feet. There are many locally owned shops, boutiques, restaurants, and some of the kindest people in the country. Iuka is known as a retirement community because of low taxes and one of the lowest crime rates in the State of Mississippi.
Tishomingo County has a rich musical heritage and has been home to many musicians, singers, bands, and quartets. One of the most decorated groups to make their home in Iuka is the all-male quartet, Unity 4.
In 2005, in a small country church, Unity Baptist Church, on the outskirts of Iuka, two brothers, Casey and J.C. Johnson, had a dream. They wanted to sing in a quartet. They had been listening to the greats such as Kingdom Heirs, Dove Brothers, Statesmen, Cathedrals, and many more. They knew that was the style of music they wanted to sing. They were joined by their long-time friend Chuck Clark and their cousin, Eric Johnson, to form the first lineup of Unity 4 Quartet. Unity 4 started singing at festivals and benefits and homecoming concerts in their hometown, but demand grew for them to travel further. They began traveling to Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana.
Unity 4 has sung many styles over the years, but in the last decade, they have focused on preserving a dying breed of gospel music...traditional all-male four-part harmony. They have become known for their rich harmonies and classic song selections. They began not only to sing songs of years past but also began writing their own material while holding to the standards of the past quartets and their arrangements. Examples of songs written by members of the group (and/or their family members) are "Quartet Singin'," "Cast Your Cares," "Meet Him In The Air," "Back To The Well," "He Never Gave Up On Me," "My New Neighborhood," "The Only Book," "The Lord Is Everything," "I Have A Happy Feeling," "No Wonder," and "The Ransom."
