Western States Gospel Music Association

The Western States Gospel Music Association (WSGMA) is an organization based out of California, formed in the late 1980s to extend the acceptance, influence and use of traditional gospel music in churches throughout California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada and Arizona.

Concerts & Music Production
The WSGMA hosts two or more concerts a Year. Two of these events celebrate Armed Forces Day (3rd Saturday of May in Orange County) and Labor Day (1st Monday of September in Stanislaus County). Each of these concerts showcase the artist groups individually along with a Gaither Style band and all artists gathered together to sing classic Southern Gospel hits and Patriotic Songs.

In 1994, the WSGMA released a Various Artists Cassette 10 Artists, 20 Songs with the Artist roster of that era. In 1997 the charter members at that time recorded a Live CD Live Reunion Recording which was produced by Dennis Zimmerman.
