Still Singing with KC Armstrong
Where Patriotism Meets Praise: Music As A Calling
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A single voice can turn a room—from the hush of a memorial to the cheer of a singalong—and KC Armstrong knows that power well. We welcome the renowned bass from the U.S. Army Chorus for a candid, music-filled hour that spans sacred hymns, spirituals, and Americana, and reveals how service, faith, and mentorship shaped his craft. From the first notes of How Great Thou Art to the toe-tapping close of Rocky Top, the setlist doubles as a map of his journey.
KC opens up about discovering his voice later than most, trading a trumpet for a score, and putting in the hours at Western Carolina and East Tennessee State. He shares behind-the-scenes moments from the Air Force Singing Sergeants to the U.S. Army Chorus in Washington—what it feels like to sing at state dinners, to represent the nation before visiting royalty, and to honor lives at solemn ceremonies where every phrase matters. You’ll hear how switching styles on command isn’t a trick; it’s a professional promise to meet the moment with respect and skill.
The heart of the conversation belongs to the people who shaped him—especially the legendary Glenn Draper—and to the ensemble spirit of Brethren, where friendship and harmony build something larger than any solo. KC talks about songs that carry hope through hard seasons, like Light at the End of the Darkness and In the Garden, and why The Holy City still feels like a glimpse of home. If you’re drawn to rich low notes, timeless repertoire, and the quiet courage of service, this story will stay with you.
Enjoy the music, then keep the conversation going—follow, share with a friend who loves choral music or Southern gospel, and leave a review telling us which performance moved you most.

SPEAKER_01Well, Tom, my first priority is uh to the United States Army Corps and the United States Army Band out of Fort Myer, Virginia. Uh right outside of DC. When they're not looking, sometimes I sneak out and and uh do some concerts once a month or so with the brethren. Another Sacred Men's ensemble I'm a part of and if I can fit anything else in, well I I do some solo concerts and some guest solo opportunities here and there and and I try to keep my my five acres of grass cut. So that's about that keeps me busy.
SPEAKER_00My goodness, you do have a busy schedule. Casey, we uh recently celebrated singer George Beverly Shea's hundred and third birthday. Did you ever have the opportunity to meet Mr. Shay?
SPEAKER_01I have not. I really wish I could. Um about the closest that I've come to meeting uh George Beverly Shea. George Beverly Shea is uh my my in-laws grew up with uh Cliff Marrow's uh daughter up in Dayton. So that's about as close as I've gotten as is meeting Cliff Marrows' daughter.
SPEAKER_00Well, one of uh Bev Shea's most famous solos, uh the one he has performed all over the world, is How Great Thou Art. And I know you have a very nice recording of that song too. Why don't we listen to How Great Thou Art, the uh Casey Armstrong version?

SPEAKER_01Well, thank you. I was supposed to sing that up the octave, but that day we I just wasn't feeling it and then ended up keeping it.
SPEAKER_00Wow. You know, I was thinking while you were singing those low notes that uh one advantage of being a bass singer is that your vocal cords only have to vibrate about half as much as a normal singer. Less wear and tear. Tell us a little bit about your musical background and your formal
Finding His Voice And Training
SPEAKER_00education. Like have you been singing all your life or were you one of those child prodigies at age two?
SPEAKER_01Oh no, no, no prodigy here. Um I definitely I've always been active singing in the church since uh since a kid, all the way up through high school. In fact, that's the only place I I I sang. I grew up in uh in in the school system, I was a trumpet player. And so that kept me busy being in the band. And then um I didn't get brave enough to sing kind of in a in a formal organization until college. And uh even in a little bachelor at first, I started singing um the Marching Man drew me to Western California University over. Um for that purpose and started taking general education classes and then signed up for a non-audition course and got thrown a couple solos. Next thing you know, I was studying voice, and then I ended up transferring after uh about a little bit half a month degree. I worked on Western Carolina, transferred over to East Tennessee State University, which is where I graduated from my undergraduate in local performance.
SPEAKER_00No, that's in uh Johnson City.
SPEAKER_01In Johnson City, yes, sir.
SPEAKER_00What what was your hometown? Where did you g leave to go to college?
SPEAKER_01Oh, um, I grew up in Mount Holly, Mount Holly, North Carolina.
SPEAKER_00No, that's a large town?
SPEAKER_01No, I know a small town. Small town it's a basically a suburb of Charlotte these days, just on the west side.
SPEAKER_00Now, what did you come from a musical family?
SPEAKER_01Not really. Neither of my folks were trained in music, but they always encouraged singing. Um, you know, I remember riding around the car with my dad listening to some oldies uh on the radio station and he sang what I call now, I call Lil' Lead. He sings you know, he'd sing the melody down the office. I got my voice from him and from my grandfather.
SPEAKER_00So he's amazing also. Okay.
SPEAKER_01But my mom's got a nice voice, but no, no, this you know, they didn't it wasn't really forced on me, it kind of found me.
SPEAKER_00Well, uh tell us a little about your wife and children.
SPEAKER_01My awesome wife. She's um actually from Dayton, Tennessee. I mean, we met singing with uh Dr. Lynn River from Legion Woska, North Carolina, the Legion Wolfka singers. We've got um we got married in 1999, and uh since then we've had three kids. We've got a six-year-old, um, her name is Adeline, and we've got uh a four-year-old, his name is Brogan in the middle there, and then uh our baby is Calvin, and he's just under two.
SPEAKER_00Well, that sounds well rounded, a good family and and a good background there. Now, Casey, you're a member of the United States Army Chorus in Washington, DC, is that correct?
SPEAKER_01That's that's right, yes, sir.
SPEAKER_00All right, now did you join the Army fresh out of college?
SPEAKER_01I actually didn't join the Army. Um in my last semester of school at East Tennessee State University, um, I auditioned for the United States Air Force Singing Service, which is just across the river from the band that I'm in now. It's over at Bowling Air Force Air Force Base uh right outside of DC.
SPEAKER_00So they keep all of these musicians kind of corraled in one corner of the country.
SPEAKER_01Well, yeah, all the DC bands are all the top DC bands are top service bands are in DC, bands around the world. All the courses are in the district. All the full-time courses only four. All male local professional in America. And uh I've been a big fan of uh music um since I got my first taste of it in um at East Tennessee State. So that's why I'm there.
SPEAKER_00Okay, and what is your uh present military rank?
SPEAKER_01Oh, I'm a staff sergeant. I'm an E6 in the enlisted grade, so staff sergeant in the U.S. Army.
SPEAKER_00Uh Casey, I have a couple of uh recordings from your earlier days with the Air Force and the Army choruses uh that feature they go back a little way, and they feature you as a soloist. The first one we're gonna play features your immaculate British accent with the British grenadiers.
SPEAKER_04Let's hear what that sounds like Some top of Alexander and some of our kids, of Hector and my sand such great names as his, but of all the world's great heroes, there's one that can come back with the tow, row, row, row, roar, to the brightest grain of the bears. When eer we are coming to storm the palisades, our leaders march with fuses, and we with hand grenades, we throw them from the glassy, above the enemies with a tow, row, row, row, row, rout to the British grenadiers, and let us heal the border and drink the health of those who carry cats and potters and wear old head clothes. May they come on us if happy all their years with a tow-row, row, row, row to the British Grenade.
SPEAKER_00In your role with the military service choruses, Casey, you've had many opportunities to represent your branch of the service and opportunities to represent our nation both uh before the American people and before heads of state from all over the world. What are a couple of your outstanding memories of these opportunities?
SPEAKER_01Well, well, to follow to follow the British Grenadiers that you just played, um, by the way, the tenor soloist that followed me was he's from Knoxville,
Service Career In Military Choruses
SPEAKER_01Tennessee, so I still haven't figured out why they asked two Southern boys to sing the British. But but to follow up with that, one of the one of the awesome uh jobs that I was able to be a part of was uh the state dinner that uh President Bush held for the Queen of England's visit. And so we got to sing uh the Army Chorus was invited to be a part of that. And we're sitting, we came in at the entertainment, uh the evening of the entertainment after the army entertainment. And we came in the right front row for the President Mr. and Mrs. Bush, uh the change were there. And then after that, you just can't stop. What was interesting is after this after this performance, uh President Bush stood up to escort the queen out. We were told he's gonna escort the queen out of the room, and then we leave the opposite way. Well, he stood up, I wanted to know for our conductor to shake his hand to thank him for the performance. He didn't know whether to proceed. He didn't know what to do, so um, but as he's shaking his hand, I wanted to know Prince Philip who comes up already laughing at himself to see the joke. He comes up to right in front of us and says, It seems that you're all that you would have blissed us on your vocal call.
SPEAKER_00Well, you said you really opened up.
SPEAKER_01I'm telling you what, we have so many incredible opportunities for obviously there's tons of memorial services, uh holidays to honor honor the fallen and to uh to to give honor to those that are serving to the awesome uh funeral of the part of the president's funeral. And then for moving we were able to do it. We were able to sing.
SPEAKER_00I bet that puts a real lump in your throat, doesn't it?
SPEAKER_01All I'm doing is it's worth it all right there. So I'm just so grateful to be able to serve in this manner. Just to be able to hear what I've been able to train and discover through these years and share in this manner is just incredible.
SPEAKER_00So it's not all highbrow stuff, I guess. You get to actually entertain your audiences.
SPEAKER_01Oh my goodness. Oh yeah. I mean this is this is the game. I mean you've got a as a military musician, you've got to either um uh appreciate it all or tolerate it all. But you get to inform whether we're singing um stuff for the for British counterparts or whether we're singing um I think it's in Russian. So we get to tease it up sometimes too. Um coach, uh it's called Singerfield. I sang that for a retirement for a general one time.
Performing For Heads Of State
SPEAKER_00Um just all sorts of entertaining things.
SPEAKER_01Everything.
SPEAKER_00Well, uh I don't know how we could get through this program of representative music, especially in Tennessee, without one of our state songs. How does Rocky Top go over with your audiences?
SPEAKER_01Oh man, I'm telling you what, no matter what country we do a lot of we sing for a lot of dinners uh at uh the general's quarters at Fort Meyer. Um there's the Army Chief of Staff that lives there, the Air Force Chief of Staff, and then the chairman of the joint chief of staff live there, and we do a lot of dinner parties for them. You know, we'll go in ten, twelve people uh sometimes. Um this particular recording is with the U.S. Army strings, and I and I did as a soloist. But no matter what country or who they're hosting, where they're from, everybody knows Rocky Top. And everybody can sing along, I'm telling you, it's funny, and that's usually what we close the uh the evening with.
SPEAKER_00Well, as part of our lighthearted section of this program, let's listen to Rocky Top.
SPEAKER_01Alrighty.
SPEAKER_04Wish that I was on a Rocky Top down in the Tennessee Hills. Ain't no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top, ain't no telephone bills. Once I had a girl on Rocky Top, have a dirty other half cat. I still dream about that. Rocky Two, four, two, six, two, twenty two, three, two, three, two, three, two, three, two, four, two, two, two, three, two, two, three, two, five, four, two, three, five, four, two, four, five, rocky top, rocky tough, rocky tough, dear, rocky tough, dear.

We appreciate him underwriting this program of Tom Hammett's Hour with Friends. Just like a good neighbor, State Farm is there. And I am Tom Hammett, and I'm talking to Casey Armstrong, bass singer and bass vocalist with the U.S. Army Chorus in Washington, D.C. Casey, your life has many facets, and uh, we've determined already you've been with the Air Force and the Army, and I guess they've occupied uh much of your time in the last several years.
SPEAKER_01Yes, sir. I've uh I've been singing um combined service. I've got just a little over about twelve and a half years in now. So that's that's yeah, I've been a pleasure.

And it's a a fun tune about the humility of a guy that doesn't have much in life, but he's still happy. It's called I've Got Plenty of Nothing. So let's enjoy the vocal stylings of Casey Armstrong.

SPEAKER_00Casey Armstrong of the United States Army Chorus. Casey, uh, after your college days and prior to joining the Air Force Singing Sergeants, you had some involvement with uh someone well known to the Chattanooga community. How did you become involved with Glenn Draper and what effect did he have on your singing career?
SPEAKER_01Oh, I'm telling you, I'm telling you, Glenn Draper um it seemed like he was in i about every part of it. Um he seen he made so much happen. Um I got to meet him. Well I got to see him first. Well, I saw a concert and met him for the first time as a Christmas concert over at Lake Junuska and at Christmas uh December uh 1995.
SPEAKER_00Glenn Glenn was the uh music director at Lake Junaluska for a lot of years, wasn't he?
SPEAKER_01Fifty-five years, consecutive summers. For a couple summers, was also in my voice studio at Western Carolina. And she invited me to come here to the Juneuska singers because they were gonna have a it was a base that was leaving. And he he thought I could take that take his position at the lake watching her Christmas. I said there's no way I could do that. And I thought her and I really didn't think much of it, but then a couple months later called me and said, Hey, can you come audition for me? And I said, Well, let's do it. So I went audition and he had me, I was about 20 years old, bringing his grand and I was sang my first summer with them in 96, summer in 96.
SPEAKER_00So you had to sing and um do the choreography and all that they do.
SPEAKER_01Oh yeah, yeah. There was a there was a lady there who took me through some some basic stuff today, some if you will, some courts, some moveography. And uh I managed to get through that, I guess, well enough. It helped, I guess, I'll do the thing I was saying a little bit platform. I guess I could make up for the lack of uh that will open a lot of doors. Um and then from there, he actually was the first person to tell me about this position that was available in the singing service, therefore singing service in 1999. So because of his um he met the director of the Medicine and um came back and told me he said you need to audition for this group, and I didn't tell you why I'm thinking for it every day.
SPEAKER_00It's really changed your life, hasn't it?
SPEAKER_01Yes, sir. And uh of course I've I've been able to join him when I can. I can't ever join him as much as I like to, but um I I really hate I missed that big concert on November 6th this past year, but I had to sing with the Army Chorus in up in Richmond in the same night.
SPEAKER_00Now, d your experience with Glenn and so many of the guys that you met through the years, these great men's singers, did that work into somehow to uh to form the the group, uh the brethren group that you have, the men's chorus?
SPEAKER_01I tell you, it's the it's the main reason. In a nutshell, there were about three or four guys that had met through Glenn in a number of the different groups. Pat Vaughn, Justin Dean, uh Rob Swafford, and then uh Courtney Williams. I think in I think that was all in the DC area at the time.
SPEAKER_00And you mentioned Pat Vaughn. Pat is actually the director of Brethren now.
SPEAKER_01Yes, he's he's an artistic director from the get-go, and he's a great, great leader, great rehearsalist, and make a lot out of course organizing up to until you take somebody special to really follow, and and that's got it. And and we started that group. And like you said before, it's for us, it's an extension of what we learned from Glenn. We try to take what we learned from Glenn. We kind of created our own little thing up there in DC since we're so far away. And it's just wrong.
Mentors And The Glenn Draper Impact
SPEAKER_01We've got about 30 guys on the on the roster now when we get a concert.
SPEAKER_00I think the first solo I heard you sing, uh I've seen this song bring many a tear to both the audience and the singers. When you sing light at the end of the darkness, what are your thoughts about light at the end of the darkness?
SPEAKER_01For those of us that are believers that trust Christ as our Savior, it's um it's an encouragement, it's a song of encouragement. We all go through different different levels, we all go through the valley, if you will. And then for those that aren't believers, we can't.
SPEAKER_04There so and it shines for all the world to see me. It will shine on your heart if you will. I was flying when it finally shine on me. For the holdness, and it's soothing called for pain and race. It says your faith though sometimes seems to be.
Forming Brethren And Its Mission
SPEAKER_00This is Tom Hammett having conversation with KC Armstrong of the U.S. Army Chorus. WDYN Radio thanks State Farm Agent Tom Cobb in Hickson, Tennessee, for underwriting this very special broadcast. Providing all of your insurance needs for over thirty years. Tom Cobb. Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there. WDYN's motto or slogan is Standing for God and Country. Casey, I guess this could be one of your sayings as well.
SPEAKER_06Yes, I could.
SPEAKER_00Tell us a little more about your personal faith and how your life is woven around our Lord and Savior.
SPEAKER_01I'm grateful for it to be raised by a Christian family.
Songs Of Hope: Light In Darkness
SPEAKER_00It's the end of the garden. Do you remember which recording this was?
SPEAKER_01This is uh this is from uh recording of our brethren City called the Home Project.
SPEAKER_06Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_01Um the project was everybody could take it back and say, Oh, this is reviewed. Well, this in the garden was one of the ones my mother requested. So therefore that's that's how I got the solo in it.
SPEAKER_00So this whole project was uh a project for mom.
SPEAKER_01That's right.
SPEAKER_04I come to the garden of all while the door is still on the roses and the voice I hear falling on my ear the son of God is he walks with me and he talks with me and determined and the joy we shared we turn. He speaks and the sound of his voice is so sweet of words of the ship and the melody that he gave me with me was with me, and it was with me, and it has me I am his and the joy we share as we go through the voice of war.
Faith, Family, And Calling
SPEAKER_04He walks with me and he talks with me, and he turns me I am his own and the joy we share as we turn.
SPEAKER_00Casey, I met your mom in, I believe it was Chicago when the brethren sang there. She's an all-American mom. She's just a wonderful lady.
SPEAKER_01I tell you, we we had her up there, we're helping us out with our booth there helping us. If your mom can't say you see, D's, you know, I don't know if anybody can.
SPEAKER_00Your mama always loves you. With a voice like yours, you must simply love to sing.
SPEAKER_01Well, it's fun, it's fun, and as far as the versatility, well you can be hungry. I do enjoy all the styles. It's not just because I have to. But um and I like changing gears because I'm one of those I've got a bunch of friends that can make the switching change. I think it's I don't know, I think it's a testament of I think you've got more control if you can change gears like that than if you just want to record.
SPEAKER_00I've got a feeling that some of our listeners might enjoy uh maybe obtaining some of your recordings. Can you give us some contact information in case listeners would like to purchase one of your C D Sure, sure.
SPEAKER_01I'm in the process of being put on cdbaby.com. C D B A B Y dot com.

SPEAKER_01I do want to say in DC, there's a lot of believers and there's a lot of reading going on this. You don't want to ever see it on the news. But just know that there's um there's a lot of men, there's a lot of women that are um taking a stand for the right. There's a lot of good happening in DC.

SPEAKER_01I just want to thank you for the opportunity and I hope uh hope everybody's enjoying it all.
SPEAKER_00Well, Casey, it's just been a delight. I feel that my greatest treasure on earth, besides knowing the truth and the gospel of Jesus Christ, is the abundance of friends and and Christian musicians that the Lord has allowed me to associate with. And and you know you're one of my my dear friends and my Christian brother, and and uh just just love you like you're part of the family here.
