Spend half your life doing any one thing, and at some point, you’re bound to question whether that one thing is the right thing. For Jason Crabb, longtime powerhouse lead vocalist for The Crabb Family, that has never been a question. With a soulful, unforgettable voice like his, the “right thing” has always been a given. He was born to sing. Baptized in a God-given talent pool, weaned on the hymnal and mentored by Bill Gaither himself, Jason Crabb hit the road at age 14 and, alongside his family, has pursued his calling full-throttle ever since. As a Grammy nominee and 10-time Dove Award winner, including being the reigning Male Vocalist of the Year, it seems as though Jason Crabb is just getting started.
