Beginning immediately Jimmy and Jennifer Layne of the ministry group Back Home will be taking over the management of LifeSong Music Group/Spin-N-Motion radio promotion company. With years of music experience in the Country and Gospel markets doing background vocals and record producing, the incredible talents of Jimmy and Jennifer will now include radio promotions. Their group Back Home has shared the stage with such greats as Karen Peck, Jason Crabb, Jeff and Sheri Easter, The Bowling Family, The Nelons, Gordon Mote and many others, as well as performing on the NQC Main Stage and Dollywood Theme Park performances.
Jimmy stated “We will be keeping the same structure and quality as Tony and Kim which has been very successful for many years. We are here to help every artist succeed.” Jennifer added “We are on the same team, let’s help each other”.
Tony & Kim Hudgins commented “For more than 15 years, we have been incredibly blessed to be a part of the Southern Gospel Music Industry. We have made innumerable friends and acquaintances that will forever be ingrained in our hearts and minds. As we eagerly welcome a new calling on our lives, we will be turning over the day to day operations to Jimmy and Jennifer Layne. Knowing this wonderful couple as we do, we are confident they will continue to promote and minister to radio for artists at a high level and with dedicated hearts. Ministry is first and foremost in their lives and we are excited to see them carry on with Spin-N-Motion and LifeSong Music Group.”
The ministry of the Award Winning and Award Nominated group Back Home is a true example of the parable of the Prodigal Son. The ups and downs of life are all too familiar to Jimmy and Jennifer Layne. Through suffering several miscarriages, one to a set of twins, Jimmy’s struggle with major drug and alcoholism problems and losing both of their well-established jobs within three days of each other, the faithfulness of God has revealed itself time and time again.
Journeying through their pain and heartache together, songwriting is the therapy that gets Jimmy and Jennifer through the tough times. Raw and heartfelt lyrics that can only come from “real life” experience accompany beautiful melodic tunes that are sure to touch the hearts of the young, old and everyone in between.
Jimmy and Jennifer are no strangers to the music industry. Twenty-six year veterans of vocal session work, they are two of the most sought after background singers in the country and Gospel music industries. While holding jobs in corporate America, the Layne’s managed to build a reputation as two of the most efficient and hardworking session singers around allowing them to build relationships with some of today’s leading country and gospel artists. Knowing that God had called them into full-time ministry, Jimmy and Jennifer took a step of faith and started Back Home Ministries.
