On September 3, 2008 during an interview on the Total Christian Network, The Social Security Boys were asked about their vision for the future. They responded that their established mission is to present programs that will bring spiritual renewal to Christians and at the same time point non-Christians directly to the cross. In their short history, they have been featured on the international Total Christian Television Network and two of the songs on their debut album ("More Alive" and "May The Good Lord Bless And Keep You") have had considerable airplay on the Solid Gospel Network as well as enLighten XM 34 Radio. Currently, The Social Security Boys are often featured on the "Great Amerian Gospel" television show airing weekly on DayStar, Inspiration Network, TCT television network and others. Check your local provider for airtimes or visit www.greatamericangospel.tv/ for a complete listing of the show times. The Social Security Boys are Cecil Hinnant, James Austin and Walter Bass, three energetic seniors still singing as they have done most of their adult lives. They have remarkably similar backgrounds, having been born and raised on eastern North Carolina farms. Unacquainted with each other at the time, they were intrigued by the sound of The Lone Star Quartet daily at noon on a battery powered radio tuned to WPTF in Raleigh, NC and went back to the fields in the afternoon singing the songs they had heard. They have been singing together since 2005 and combined, they have over 150 years of singing experience. Through high school, college, and beyond, they began to sing with various quartets and further developed an appreciation for harmony, all the while being influenced by sounds heard in popular as well as gospel music. Some fans have offered them an unsolicited opinion that some of their harmony is reminiscent of The Mills Brothers.
