In 2010 the lives of three unique musicians united as Tracee Lee Davidson, Mike Godsey and Thomas Bettini, realized that they had something incredibly God-inspired between them. This launched the extraordinary beginning of Preacher’s Wife. Writing original music that is organic, exclusive, and adds an innovative twist to mainstream worship music, Preacher’s Wife has a distinct sound and states publicly how radically powerful God really is.
Tracee Lee started singing at age three and playing piano at six. “As a little girl, I had a strong and unstoppable desire to create music and sing, so strong that I would find myself playing the piano for 4 hours a day. I knew, without question, it was my destiny and pursued it with great intensity.” Opportunities began to open up for Tracee in the late 90’s that has lead up to now - leading worship at Women’s Conventions and Retreats in Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Dublin, Ireland, in which she was able to work with Brian Doerksen on an Integrity Live CD Shine. She is currently the Worship Leader at The Bridge in Bristol, TN, where she and her husband are Lead Pastors. They are both ‘international missionary kids,’ both growing up in Europe. They have three children.
Mike Godsey, drummer for Preacher’s Wife, grew up in Kingsport, Tennessee, listening to his dad play gospel and bluegrass. “After hearing the drummer play in a country rock band with my Dad, I decided that drums would be my instrument of choice. I modeled my drumming style after the great players like John Bonham, Buddy Rich, and Ian Price. At 27, I quit playing the local club scene and began to play contemporary Christian and Gospel music. I’ve been playing in church for the past 15 years and at The Bridge since 2007.”
Guinness World Record holder and professional bassist, Tom Bettini, a Kingsport native, is well-known to the Tri-Cities as the founding bass player for the platinum-selling and internationally recognized band, Jackyl. After resigning from Jackyl in 2000, Tom has either started or been a hired gun of some of the best bands in the Regional area.
Nobody realized, including Bettini, Godsey, and Davidson, that when Tom walked through The Bridge doors in 2009 it was going to create a stirring within the three musicians that is changing their lives. They began to sense like it’s been God’s dream to get the three of them together because they shared a rare vision. This mission is to create songs with a sound so different and passionate which reveal a genuine God to a real world.
Preacher’s Wife debut CD Burn was released on April 1, 2011.
