The Dalton Gang is entertaining, talented and most of all music ministers.  They skillfully blend music and testimony.  As the concert unfolds, it’s hard to sit through the Dalton Gang’s concert without getting involved - singing along and worshipping with them.

Perhaps the most important element of their presentation is Tom’s unique ability to establish a rapport with his listeners.  It is evident that he desires to reach out and impact the lives of the audience; encouraging them to love one another so that Christ will be glorified in their lives.

Their country style, superb family harmony and lively presentation takes them coast to coast.  The Dalton Gang has played at the White House in Washington, DC, on concert stages (Ohio State Fair, Dollywood, Renfro Valley, Kentucky Apple Festival), and many churches including Greentree Ministries in Atlantic City, NJ and Dr. Stewart McBernie’s church in Glendale, CA.

The Dalton Gang’s music is heard nationally on Christian radio and television.  "There’s Always A Rainbow" and "There Is Strength In The Lord", played by Salem’s southern gospel music network, SOLID GOSPEL, sent encouragement to millions and prompted response from across the nation.  The Dalton Gang has enjoyed Top 20 songs nationally.  Tom has written songs recorded by some of Southern Gospel Music’s most popular groups such as the McKameys, Spencers and the Singing Cookes.  They have been seen by millions on Christian television such as TBN, GMT, PTL, CTN, Daystar, Dove and many syndicated and local programs.

During the 1990’s, the Tom and Cheryl Dalton joined Nashville's music industry.  Tom worked on Nashville’s Music Row where he was Marketing Director for Multimedia/Music City News’ GOSPEL VOICE magazine.  He also founded Brentwood Talent and Marketing, a promotions and management company with clients such as the Crabb Family, Sparrow Records, Charlie Daniels, Marty Raybon, Andy Griffith, and Bill Gaither & the Homecoming Corporation.  The mid-90's also brought the birth of their only child, Troye, who now joins them to complete the trio of the Dalton Gang.

Since the addition of Troye, the Dalton Gang is having the time of their life.  Many souls have found hope and safety in Jesus Christ through their ministry.

Sincerity and dedication just begin to describe the Dalton Gang.  They’re real.  Real people.  Singing about real salvation and real hope through the Lord Jesus Christ.
