The Crimson River Quartet
"The Cure for the Common Church Service"
The Crimson River Quartet is a
professional and entertaining quartet ministry whose members represent over
100 years of gospel music experience. This group is dedicated to providing
quality gospel music presentations throughout the United States. The quartet
performs each year for churches and organizations from a wide
spectrum of denominational and non-denominational associations. 
RICK MOORE is the group's Manager and Bass Singer. Rick has been involved in the quartet business for 37 years, including 17 years with the popular Watchmen Quartet. Rick left that group in 1990, and spent a year and a half concentrating on family and business before helping to organize The Crimson River Quartet. Rick runs Crimson River Productions, attends Saddleback Valley Community Church in Lake Forest where he sings occasionally in the Vocal Worship Ensemble, and is married with two children.
MERNIE METZLER is well known among fans of
Gospel Music in Southern California, having spent over 20 years singing with
other local groups. Mernie sings the tenor
part for the group, filling that important position with the skill of a quartet
veteran. Mernie is a CPA with his own firm,
attends Rosewood Church in Bellflower, and is married with three children and four grandchildren.
GREG BRANDT was an original member
of the group in 1992 and sang baritone through the end of 1997. He
rejoined the group in March of 2000, and is one of the finest baritone singers
on the West Coast. Greg sang for 9 years with The Watchmen prior to
joining The Crimson River Quartet. Greg is married with two daughters, and attends Harvest Christian Center in
Riverside.
KEVIN BAILEY
joined The Crimson River Quartet in 2009.
After retiring from the "quartet" scene" in 2006, Kevin was interested in
working a limited schedule only, and CRQ was the perfect fit. We have known
Kevin for over 20 years and felt that his voice and his demeanor
would be a complimentary addition to the current lineup. Southern California
fans will remember Kevin from The Regents Quartet, as well as The Reflections,
and if they remember back to the early 80's, Harvest! Kevin and his wife
Kim have two children and attend Magnolia
Avenue Baptist Church, in Riverside
