About Higher Vision
HIGHER VISION is a Bluegrass and Bluegrass Gospel group based out of eastern Kentucky that thoroughly enjoys and believes in what they do. Among the list of things that make them so successful is their love for the Lord, willingness to work hard to accomplish common goals, and the fact that they are like a family that travels and performs.
They have toured over the last 20 years from the Mississippi coast up to Prince Edward Island, Canada, and all points in between. On December 15, 2006, they performed at Carnegie Hall in New York, NY as part of "Appalachian Christmas" presented by Christian Music Presenters
