LaVerne made his first public singing debut at the Piney Grove Camp Meeting in Chocowinity, NC, at the ripe old age of 2½ and he hasn’t stopped.  After singing solo, and with several local groups, LaVerne joined the world-famous Blue Ridge Quartet.  For seven years LaVerne sang lead with this group and lead them to an unprecedented success. During this period of LaVerne’s career, he wrote and recorded three consecutive number-one songs; I Know, That Day Is Almost Here and After Calvary.  LaVerne was voted male vocalist of the year and his song, I Know, was song of the year.  He was nominated eight times for the coveted Dove Award. At the pinnacle of the group’s success, LaVerne surrendered his will and his life to the care of God and launched out to fulfill God’s destiny for his life as an evangelist.

 Over the past 32 years of ministry, LaVerne has seen more than 500,000 souls born into the Kingdom of God, traveled around the world, built Bible schools, churches, children’s homes, and now is the soul sponsor of 300 children adopted in India. 

LaVerne’s song, We’ve Got The Power, has, and is continuing to be sung by the church around the world. In 2001, CCMA presented LaVerne with the Living Legend Award at the Ryman Auditorium, in Nashville, TN.  CCMA also awarded him for his number one song, A Bible And A Bus Ticket Home, from the project, We Will Rise Above It All. 

LaVerne just released his 77^th full-length recording entitled, Songwriter, which contains his new hit single, I'm A Jesus Fan, along with thirteen other songs written by this legend. 

LaVerne and his lovely wife, Edith, travel weekly to churches across America and around the world sharing their songs and message of hope, freedom and deliverance to all who will listen.  When you get the opportunity to join LaVerne and Edith in a Song Revival, don’t miss it.  Healing, Restoration and Liberty come as they sing praise to the King.
