Greater Vision
Greater Vision is an American Southern gospel music trio founded in 1990. It is one of Southern gospel's most popular trios and has been noted for their prolonged commercial and musical success spanning over three decades. As of 2025, the group is made up of Gerald Wolfe, Rodney Griffin, Scott Mullens, and Chris Allman. Over the last several years, this trio has consistently been named Southern gospel's top male trio, winning the Singing News Awards and have placed numerous top songs on the Southern Gospel Charts and Radio.
The group formed in December 1990 when Mark Trammell left the Cathedral Quartet and teamed with Cathedrals alum Gerald Wolfe. They recruited tenor Chris Allman. The group quickly became a success. Their first project, On A Journey (1990), propelled them into seemingly overnight popularity. The group followed up with the albums You Can Have A Song (1992), 20 Inspirational Favorites (1993) and Serving A Risen Savior (1994), were all released on the Riversong/Benson Music Group label and was well received among fans and industry. By 1997, the group had left the Riversong label and joined Daywind records, releasing new albums, including When I See The Cross.
In 1993, Mark Trammell departed for Gold City and was replaced by Dixie Melody Boys baritone singer and bass guitarist Rodney Griffin. Allman left in late 1995 to attend seminary studies and was replaced by Jason Waldroup. This lineup of Wolfe, Griffin, and Waldroup stayed intact for 13 years and was both immensely popular and successful. Waldroup's smooth tenor and Griffin's strong baritone and songwriting ability launched the group into the forefront of the gospel music scene. In 2008, Waldroup decided to leave to pursue a seminary education. In May, Jacob Kitson was announced as the new tenor. Kitson’s stay was short-lived. In 2010, Chris Allman returned after an almost fifteen-year absence, thus coming back full circle to the almost original blend and sound. In 2017, Jon Epley joined the group to sing baritone. In February of 2025, after nearly eight years with the group, Jon Epley announced his departure. Scott Mullens was announced as his replacement.
In 2014, Greater Vision and the Mark Trammell Quartet appeared the same night at an event in Marion, Illinois. By combining the two groups during the second half of the concert, the moniker "Second Half Quartet" was formed. In 2015, Gerald Wolfe, Mark Trammell, Pat Barker, Rodney Griffin and Chris Allman took home a variety of awards at Gospel Music's premier award show, the Singing News Fan Awards. Mark Trammell was voted Favorite Baritone of the Year by fans, becoming the first Gospel singer to win such an award in four separate decades; Pat Barker took home the Favorite New Soloist award; Greater Vision's song, “For All He’s Done,” was voted Song of the Year and once again, Rodney Griffin was the recipient of the Favorite Songwriter Award.
