The Kittles

In 1997, Pastor Ed Kittle, wife Connie, and son Steve sang a couple of songs at their home church, just to provide some special music for a revival service. A visitor that night heard them and asked if they would come sing at his church, and without a conscious intent, a music ministry was born. The invitations continued to come in, and for 16 years the Kittle Family Trio sang in churches all over the eastern United States. In 2013, younger son James joined the group to sing bass, making them the Kittle Family Quartet. Eventually, Ed and Connie reluctantly retired from the group due to age and health. Steve and James carried on and were joined by cousin Robyn Kittle and Steve’s son-in-law Geoff Ventura, honoring the style of the past while forging a new sound to carry into the future. In 2023, Robyn passed away very suddenly, leaving a hole in the foursome. Soon, however, the Lord sent Scarlett Monday to join the fellows and create yet another fresh Southern Gospel style. In 2024, Matt Benedict joined the group to add his considerable keyboard talents to the group’s stage presentation, and gradually 30 dates per year, in churches, concerts, and other events. The group has recorded two projects in Nashville, and now plans to make a new recording to coincide with their 30 anniversary next year. The Kittles look forward to the future with no plans to slow down as long as God continues to open doors!
