The Lighthouse Boys are an American Southern Gospel band from Bakersfield, California, ^{[1] [2]} and progenitors of "The Bakersfield Sound". The group began in 1974 by brothers Mark and Bill Underwood and Bill's brother in-law Steve Johnson. ^[3] In 1976, the trio expanded from a vocal ensemble to a full band with the addition of Frank McNinch, Garry Miller, and Kenny Knight. The band recorded their self-titled debut album in the late 1970s and released it in 1980. ^[4] The band has undergone many line-up changes throughout their recording and touring careers, but the core trio has remained at the helm during their history.

Career / Ministry

Founding and early years

Founded in 1974 in Bakersfield, California by Mark Underwood and Steve Johnson, who had been writing songs together since in 1973. Mark's older brother Bill Underwood would soon join and they began performing all around California. May 26, 1974, Mark Underwood was part of the Foothill High School 40 Voice Choir & Orchestra when they were booked to do a concert with the Jesus music band Amplified Version, Mark took the opportunity to talk with them, and they convinced Mark that for The Lighthouse Boys to continue successfully they needed to get a sound system to take with them on the road. That same year a sound system was purchased.

In March of 1975, The Lighthouse Boys made their first TV appearance locally on the March of Dimes Telerama with Susan Raye, Billy Mize and many others, the Televised event took place between Los Angeles, CA and Bakersfield, CA.

In 1977 The Lighthouse Boys became a full quartet when Frank McNinch joined on bass vocals to fill out the sound. They also added Garry Miller on bass guitar and Kenny Knight on drums to fill out the rest of the band.

On April 29, 1978 The Lighthouse Boys performed on the talent show at the Gospelaires 17th Annual Homecoming at the Selland Arena in Fresno, California with the The Blackwood Brothers and Voyagers Quartet. On June 30, 1978, The Lighthouse Boys entered Buck Owens' Recording Studio on North Chester in Bakersfield to record five of the songs that would go on their debut record. Jim Shaw who produced the album was later quoted as saying "They were fun sessions. I just remember they had a nice, gospel-flavored country sound and that we enjoyed working with The Lighthouse Boys" ^[5]

1979 The Lighthouse Boys were beginning to be promoted in the central valley and desert area quite a bit, however, change would happen again as Frank, Gary and Kenny left. Steve Johnson stepped away for a short time. Mark Underwood attended a Benny Hester Concert in Bakersfield, CA where he met two musicians who were cousins. Tim Cantu (Drummer) and Daythen Fernandez (Guitar). Steve Johnson returned and The Lighthouse Boys once again started to get very busy. Coy Edwards who built and founded a Bakersfield Radio Station that went on to become KHIS was the brother to Lois Gibbons a Gospel Music Promoter and Owner of a News Publication on the west coast called The Gospel Music Roundup, Coy took an interest in promoting The Lighthouse Boys in the central valley and Desert Area. The Coy Edwards Family and The Lighthouse Boys would do several concerts together, Coy's son Ken Edwards would often fill in on Bass Guitar. By the end of 1979, Ken Edwards and his brother Jon Edwards joined The Lighthouse Boys, Steve Johnson would soon step down for personal reasons.

The 80's

February 8, 1980 The Lighthouse Boys would take the stage with June Wade & The Country Congregation, The Edwards and Gary Felton for a benefit concert in Victorville, CA, it would be the first with the new six man line up before hitting a busier schedule. May 25, 1980 they made an appearance at the Western Desert Gospel Sing at the San Bernardino Fair Grounds in Victorville, CA, they recorded a live album that day, and performed on the same stage where then former Governor Ronald Regan was appearing as part of his campaign to become President of the United States. In June, they finally released their debut album. They stayed busy as they could purchasing a Bus and making appearances with several artists up and down the west, in September and October they made appearances at the Calico Ghost Town and in November at the Western States Quartet Convention in Upland, CA, The Lighthouse Boys won the "Californians Choice Awards for Best Band". The Lighthouse Boys had become one of the top artists in the west.

Towards the end of 1980, Ken and Jon Edwards left and Steve Johnson returned, by December Jerry Guyette, who Mark nick named "Germ" joined on Bass Guitar. By 1981 The Lighthouse Boys started going through a rotation in members, Tim McMahon joined as a vocalist. Then in 1982, Mark, Bill and Steve met Butch and Roxanne Hall, soon a Steel Guitarest by the name of LeeDon Essman came and made a proposal to start a mixed group, Mark, Steve and Bill with Butch and Roxan joined up with LeeDon and added Rick Stalnaker on Drums and called themselves New Covenant. New Covenant recorded three songs, two of which were released on a Sampler LP for what was known as The Western Gospel Association. However by September 1983, New Convenant was disbanding, Tim Cantu had returned to fill in on drums to finish out their commitments.

In 1984 The Lighthouse Boys regrouped with Mark Underwood, Steve Johnson (on bass vocals), Bill Underwood, Ken Edwards and Tim Cantu. They returned to the Kern County Fair with June Wade and The Country Congregation. The Lighthouse Boys also committed to a gospel benefit concert with the Raye Sisters and Susan Raye for the purpose of funding the Bakersfield Country Museum. They also made another local TV appearance in Bakersfield on the local broadcast of The Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon. Mark and Steve continued to write songs. The group continued to make appearances on local TV programs and various annual events, Mark spent some time with a group out of Taft, CA called "Sunrise." On Memorial Day 1987 The Lighthouse Boys made an appearance performing three sets over two stages at The High Desert Gospel Sing at the San Bernardino Fair Grounds in Victorville, CA. Shortly after, Steve Johnson stepped away. In July The Lighthouse Boys entered the studio again to cut a new single that was originally planned to be given to Jimmy Swaggart, instead it sparked a desire to re-emerge on the road, this time joined on drums by Bill's son Stephen Underwood. Questions were circulating if The Lighthouse Boys were going to hit the road again.

The 90's

In 1989, Mark Underwood, Bill Underwood, Ken Edwards and Stephen Underwood met at Ken Edward's house to make the discission that The Lighthouse Boys would be returning to the road. The Lighthouse Boys announced via the west coast publication that they were "On the Road Again." In 1989, Mark Underwood, Steve Johnson & Ken Edwards signed a one-year contract as writers with a publishing company. The Lighthouse Boys went into the studio to record 6 songs, but soon after the recording Ken Edwards took time away to help his father's radio station in Dry Prong, Louisiana. A young man by the name of Terry Mullin joined as lead singer. The Lighthouse Boys recorded backup vocals for soloist Debra Hoopiiaina on her album "Bought With A Price." In 1993 after Ken Edwards' return and a move down to bass vocals for Terry, The Lighthouse Boys released the previous six songs recorded from 1989 as a compilation album with five songs from their first album.

The quartet also began performing annually at The Great Western Quartet Convention (a "spin-off" event from the National Quartet Convention).

In 1998 Mark temporarily lost his voice, a young man by the name of Tim Williams had just stepped down as music minister at his home Church at Northland Assembly of God in Bakersfield, CA.
