The Guardians

Dean Hickman, John Darin Rowsey, Pat Barker, and Scott Mullins - collectively known as the Guardians Quartet - are a Southern Gospel Quartet with a unique sound, tight harmony, and a passion for sharing the Gospel. With three Dove Award nominations, multiple #1 songs, and Fan Awards, the Lord has truly blessed their journey. Dean’s history began as a 19 year old with the Golden Keys Quartet before joining The Guardians in 1988. John writes and arranges most of their songs, many of which have reached number one status. He began his singing career at the age of 11 and later performed with both New Journey and Karen Peck & New River. Pat, the man with the legendary bass voice, is a Southern Gospel icon having performed with such groups as the Crystal River Boys and the Mark Trammel Quartet. Scott joined the group in 2020 with a rich heritage spanning 30 years. He looks at this group as “the opportunity of a lifetime.” Together their music will find your toes tapping, hands clapping, eyes tearing, and your heart touched by their ministry.
