- Shane Ferrel - Lighthouse Promotions

"How refreshing to see a group of young men like Set Apart out singing for the Lord. I've had the privilege to work with them in the studio as well as in concerts and in churches. They are sincere and genuine in their efforts to lift up our Savior. That is what gospel music needs."
