Dempsey is the son of an evangelist/pastor in Eastern North Carolina. Literally growing up under the pews of his father’s churches, his life has been centered in and around the church.
His teen years found him on the road with various local singing groups in North Carolina. At the end of his senior year in High School, he left for Nashville, TN to join his brother in ministry as they traveled the continental United States and Canada. While with the Bobby Howard Singers, they were doing concerts, crusades, and were regulars on nationally known religious television networks. He has worked with various other groups in the Southern Gospel music field, many of which were Dove Award, and Gold record winners.
A short hiatus from the “religious” scene opened his eyes to things surrounding him, and while walking into a small local church in Nashville one night, the pastor recognized him as one with a call on his life. He began to sing again and offer ministry in the church and to the youth.
Dempsey has said, “There has been a great learning process and greater commitment process to go through.” An event transpired in his life in late 1996 that almost ended his ministry and his life. Today, however, he stands proud to be fulfilling the call and doing what God has set him aside to do. After 4 years of not singing, it was in 2000 he cut a track with a friend in a small home studio and he had his first nationally recognized single in Gary S. Paxton’s Restored, which climbed to #1 in many markets on Independent charts.
Dempsey Howard has sang with the following great artists and groups:
The Bobby Howard Singers, Jerry & The Singing Goffs,The Southmen Quartet, The Sego Brothers and Naomi, The Telestials, The Encouragers, The Skyliners, and The Countrymen.
Other works to his credit: Producer of “The Talking Bible” for World Bible Society in Nashville, TN. This nationally acclaimed Bible on Cassette was sold in major book stores across the country and TBS / Atlanta GA.
