About Me


The Mystery Men Quartet is one of the newest and most exciting gospel quartets in America today. The group began its journey in April of 2002.
"Throughout my career in Southern Gospel music, I have traveled nearly every place you can imagine, but I believe it was all in preparation for what you see now", states Ed Crawford. The intricate harmonies, detailed arrangements, and versatility, place this group in a league of their own. In one concert you will feel the nostalgia of their predecessors as they perform the classics, be moved as you experience the freshness of timely, original material, and thrilled with the unsurpassed sound of their a cappella numbers. The Mystery Men have performed in many theme parks and fairs throughout the country including the Ohio, Illinois, and West Virignia State Fairs, Six Flags, and Branson. Sindicated television appearances include, The Gospel Singing Jubilee, Gospel Music Southern Style, Gospel Country, Music City Gospel Showcase, and network television appearances including TCT, Unity and TBN.
When asked about the name of the group, Crawford chuckled, "Have you tried to come up with a new name for a group lately? It is nearly impossible, but in Ephesians 6:19 it says . . . 'give me utterance that whenever I open my mouth I will boldly proclaim the mystery of the Gospel.' After reading this, it became apparent, who better to do this than the Mystery Men?"
When asked the group goals, Crawford responded, "To share the mystery of the gospel while pursuing and preserving Southern Gospel music in its truest form. We've shared the stage with and have been greatly influenced by many of the pioneers and legends. We do not claim to be or attempt to replace these, but merely find a place among them."
The demand for The Mystery Men has increased four fold. Their performance venues include churches, concert halls, dinner theaters, and corporate functions. Fans find the group exciting, moving and entertaining, while experiencing the deep conviction delivered in every note.
In a time where mediocrity is widely accepted, The Mystery Men Quartet has raised the bar and exceeds everyone's expections.
The Mystery Men Quartet are booked exclusively through Galaxy Christian Entertainment. 615-758-9003
