Who are we and what do we do?
Hi. My name is Thom Rawls. I am the owner operator of "American Top Gospel"(c) & "Southern
Sonrise Productions"(c). We exist to produce and promote the finest in Christian entertainment
through concert promotions, radio programming, artist management and consulting. We pledge
to conduct our business in a way that will honor the Lord Jesus Christ and further spread the
Gospel message. I am always willing to listen to a new artist and will try to help those who I
believe have the right stuff.
What about artist management and consulting?
I am always willing to listen to a new artist and independent artists are encouraged to send me a press kit. Honest critiques are given if requested. Consultation services
are also available on an hourly basis. These sessions include a critique of your image, sound quality, song selection, stage presence, professionalism, and impact.
There should be nothing in your live performance that will hinder the Gospel message from being proclaimed with clarity and professionalism.
Who have we worked with?
Over the years I have had the privilege to work with some of the top artists and agencies in the industry including: The
Perrys, Gold City, Brian Free and Assurance, Triumphant Quartet, The Whisnants, Nelons, Ivan Parker, Mark Trammell
Trio, The Dixie Echoes, The Ball Brothers, Crystal River, Heirline, The Ruppes, The Florida Boys, David's Heart, Dove
Brothers, Austins Bridge and the late J.D. Sumner and the Stamps Quartet just to name a few. It would be impossible to
list the dozens of regional and local groups that I have had the privilege to know and work with. We work with the top
booking agencies and feature artists from The Harper Agency, Rivergate Talent, as well as Becky Simmons Agency and
others. Independent artists are encouraged to send press kits for consideration.

What about other services?
We offer concert promotions and live staging consultation for churches and civic organizations. We are available to assist your church or organization with sound
reinforcement needs and consultation. Recording packages are available at affordable prices for groups or soloists. We can arrange everything from start to finish and
deliver a professional quality product that you will be proud of.


How long have I been doing this?
I promoted my first Southern Gospel concert in 1979. This music and it's message have been a lifelong passion of mine. From my earliest childhood memories Southern
Gospel music has been part of my life. Whether traveling with my Dad's group, "The Missionaires", going to the All Night Singing at The War Memorial Auditorium in
Nashville, watching The Old Time Singing Convention on TV, or gathering around the old pump organ at my Grandmother's house, I have always had a love for this
music. It has been my privilege over the years to sing with several groups and make some great friends and contacts in the music business.
Since 1994 I have served the local church as a staff member, Pastor, and Music Minister. I believe the combination of these experiences has given me a unique
perspective for working with local churches. We can work with your church to provide everything from consultation to a complete concert event. We understand the issues
churches face and have a deep respect for those who minister.
