Biographies
Mike Dunivan - Tenor
Mike was born July 8, 1972 in Farmington, MO. He is the lucky husband of Jackie, and
the father of 3 great kids, Jacob, Sarah and Will. He went to Bismarck High School
where he was only the second person in the schools history to be chosen to the
Missouri All-State Choir. He knew from an early age that he enjoyed singing, and was
always involved with music. He accepted Christ as his Savior when he was 8 years old
at Arcadia Valley Bible Camp. (Now known as Dayspring Bible Camp.) It took him a
while to realize that his God-given talent should be used for God, and thanks Him
for giving him the opportunity to spread his Gospel through music and do it with
such a great group of guys.
Billy Clouse - Lead
Billy was born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1973. He grew up with music in his blood and in his family. He was saved in the summer of 1992 on a mission trip to Michigan. He saw an eight year old girl give her life to Christ and that spoke to him. He knew that something was missing. He then realized what that was - Jesus. The Holy Spirit called to him and said, “I love you and I died for you.” That is when he went forward and gave his life to Jesus.
Billy's senior year of High School in '93 he made All state Choir as a bass and tenor singer and a few years later joind the Gospel group "Higher Power Quartet" as the Lead / Baritone. These were a great group of men that he learned a lot from. He really missed singing with these guys and longed to be a part of another group. Billy and Alan started talking and praying about putting another Quartet together. This took a few years but God put together Some Awesome God fearing men who love the Lord and have a passion for his word that they spread through Southern Gospel music. Billy truly loves singing with this group of guys and is blessed to be a founder and a member of Jericho. Billy is a member of South County Baptist Church in St. Louis, Missouri. Billy is grateful for his wife, Shannon, and children, Abby & Travis for their love and support. Update: Billy and his wife Shannon are expecting their 3rd child on October 1, 2007. Congrats!
At 14, he attended a revival at Luckey Baptist Church where he turned his life over to Christ. That was the beginning of his Christian journey as well as his love for Southern Gospel music. A quartet by the name of the Young Messengers were singing at that same revival, and a year later, Alan found himself singing bass for them. The next two years were a whirlwind, as the quartet made two albums and did about two hundred concerts each year. They were privileged to sing with groups like the Imperials, the Lesters, and the Oak Ridge Boys.
Soon, the lead and baritone singers of the group, Steve & Alan Berry, started their own group and went full time. Rick Ferguson, the Young Messengers tenor, went into the ministry and Alan started his senior year of high school. Alan went on to sing in other Southern Gospel groups such as the Sonshine Quartet, Brush Arbor, and Golden Street Quartet.
Alan is now excited to be singing with the Jericho Quartet. He feels that the Lord has put this quartet together and looks forward to what He has in store for their future. Alan is blessed to have a wonderful wife, Lee Ann, and their four great children, Melisa, Stephenie, Amanda, and Tyler.
