The pair have been singing together for 16 years and will be heading for the United States in the fall to the Country Gospel Music Awards.
Aven has written many songs, some with the help of Barbara, and near the end they did signing to Signs of His Grace, then closed with May The Good Lord Bless and Keep You.
