The SOWEGA Council on Aging’s 10th Annual Comedy Night, featuring Mark Lowry and Stan Whitmire is tonight at the Albany Municipal Auditorium at 7:00PM.  

Mark Lowry is known and loved around the world as a trusted voice in the realm of gospel music and beyond. He started making music at age 11 and now, more than four decades later, his legacy is forever sealed as an innately entertaining communicator who can, at once, make audiences laugh, cry, and think.
 
Mark is a singer, storyteller, humorist, author and songwriter, whose lyric to “Mary Did You Know?” resulted in one of the most loved modern Christmas songs of this century.  This captivating song, which he co-wrote with Buddy Greene, has been recorded more than 400 times by artists from every genre including: Reba McEntire, Cee Lo Green, Clay Aiken, Michael English, Kenny Rogers, Wynonna Judd, The Gaither Vocal Band, and a long list of others.
 
Mark has spent more than 20 collective years as the baritone singer for the Grammy-award-winning Gaither Vocal Band and serves as the sidesplitting comedic sidekick for Bill Gaither through live concert tours and the best-selling Gaither Homecoming video series and television airings (now more than 150 volumes strong).
 
This show delivers clean humor and music appropriate for all ages…for an important cause.  This event benefits the Meals on Wheels program throughout 14 counties of southwest Georgia.  Meals on Wheels provides warm, nutritious meals to homebound individuals.  Food insecurity is a concern locally as well as nationally, the SOWEGA Council on Aging is working hard to ensure that no senior goes hungry, making Meals on Wheels a vital program for our area.  Over 187,000 meals are served annually through our local Meals on Wheels program.
