The Singing Echoes is a professional Southern Gospel group based in Cleveland, TN. The group consists of members of the Epperson family. It originated in 1969 with Max and Lela Epperson, their two sons Lynn and Gary, and Debbie, Gary's wife at the piano.

In 1973, The Singing Echoes received a Grammy nomination[citation needed] and have written and recorded many popular southern gospel songs. Some songs that they are noted for are: "When I Wake Up To Sleep No More", "It's Enough", "Beautiful Heaven" and "Somebody's Here". The group's work has been recognized by the state of Tennessee, and Governor Lamar Alexander appointed them as "Ambassadors of Good Will" for the state of Tennessee.[citation needed] The group has also charted numerous songs on the Singing News charts and travels extensively across the United States.

Each year they host the annual Blue Springs Valley Gospel Singing at the Singing Echoes Park in Cleveland, TN. This event brings some of the biggest and best of southern and Bluegrass gospel artists together. [1][2]

Lela died in the late 90's and Max died in 2004 [3] and since then, their grandchildren, Jeremy, Joshua, Matthew and Adam have joined the group.
