Piketon graduate receives Golden Ticket for American Idol
Grant Satterfield, who is a part of the Christian Contemporary and Southern Gospel group called the Satterfield Brothers, recently led worship at the Village Brew. “I am 21 years old and I live just outside of Piketon,” Satterfield said. “I have lived here all of my life, and I am a triplet. I have an identical twin brother that sings with me. I have sang ever since I could talk, and I have never been quiet. I think I started singing in church when I was six years old and I have been singing in church my whole life. Then a few years later my brother decided to start singing with me, and he was even more shy than I was. So, we have been singing together ever since and right now we are leading worship at a church outside of Chillicothe, and we just started a few weeks ago.
