INSTITUTE, W.Va. – West Virginia State University will host a gospel concert to benefit the University’s football program Saturday, April 28, at 6 p.m. at the Milton Performing Arts Center. Dove award-winning musicians Adam Crabb and the Bowling Family will perform.
Proceeds will help pay for academic services, equipment needs and food for WVSU student-athletes.

For more than 10 years, siblings Adam Crabb and Kelly Bowling toured alongside their father and other siblings as the Dove award-winning Crabb Family, which has been called one of the family dynasties of Southern Gospel music. The group performed regularly until deciding in 2007 to pursue individual careers.
