The Dove Brothers are a Southern Gospel quartet from North Carolina, formed in 1998 by McCray Dove and his brother, Eric Dove. Known for their energetic performances and traditional quartet style, they quickly gained popularity within the gospel music community. Their sound blends classic Southern Gospel harmonies with a lively stage presence reminiscent of older groups like The Statesmen and The Blackwood Brothers.

The group released several successful albums through the early 2000s, including hits like “Get Away Jordan,” “Didn’t It Rain,” and “When I Move to Hallelujah Square.” Over time, the lineup changed, and McCray Dove eventually formed, McCray Dove & The Dove Brothers Band, which incorporated more country and live-band elements.

The Original Dove Brothers Quartet remain respected for helping to bridge traditional quartet gospel with modern influences while maintaining a strong commitment to ministry through music.

McCray Dove & The Dove Brothers is a Southern Gospel group led by veteran singer McCray Dove, joined by his sons David, Andrew, and Matthew Dove. Formed after McCray’s earlier success with The Dove Brothers Quartet, this new family group carries on his legacy with a fresh, generational twist.

Their music blends classic Southern Gospel quartet harmonies with heartfelt family ministry, reflecting McCray’s deep roots in traditional gospel while adding new energy from his sons. In 2025, they released the album Bringing It Back!, signaling a strong return to the style and spirit that made the Dove name well known in gospel music. The group’s mission remains focused on sharing faith, family, and the timeless message of hope through song.
