Cam Shillington

Cam Shillington was the



The Master’s from Kingston were one of the favourites on the southern gospel music circuit in Ontario, and were managed by Cam Shillington. They were also featured artists on “Opry North”, a radio show on CFGM based out of Toronto. Cam was the host and producer of “Gospel Singin’ Time”, a nationally syndicated television show programming SG which won several Canadian awards for excellence in programming. The Master’s hosted and promoted many concerts and were instrumental in the growth of Southern Gospel in the 70’s and 80’s. They are currently reforming and hope to be singing again soon.

"The Masters, formed in 1968 by Cam Shillington and the Deyo brothers, were a popular group from Ontario who toured throughout Canada and the United States. They appeared on Gospel Singing Time, a syndicated Canadian television program, as well as Canada’s Opry North. The Masters recorded their albums in Nashville, Tennessee and also appeared on The Grand Ole Opry. The Canadian Gospel Music Association presented them with the Favorite Mixed Group award several times. In recent years, the Masters had greatly reduced their traveling schedule."

I asked Keith Deyo how Days Of Grace was formed. “In 2009 we tried to resurrect the long time group, The Masters. All three singers, along with Cam Shillington, sang and traveled as the Masters for another three years.” Deyo continued, “Then Cam had to step down because of health. In March of 2013, Ken Deyo, Dona Locklin and myself (Keith Deyo), formed “Days Of Grace.” Source: Phil Foster. November 5, 2013. http://www.sgmradio.com/2013/11/05/days-of-grace/
