During early summer of 2008 and shortly after playing Galena Days, The Missourians announced that baritone Troy Wade had joined forces. Wade had previously worked with The Revelations. He also was once lead singer for Brothers With Purpose. He replaced veteran Missourians member Doug Luton. The quartet is based in Joplin, Mo., and first organized in 1988. Wade was well established in Galena as a member of First Baptist Church and as director of sales and marketing for Oasis Car Wash Systems, an internationally recognized name and innovative leader in the car wash industry. Wade is the younger brother of Stephen Wade, president of Oasis. Revelations member Jerry Wade co-founded the business in 1964 in Galena.
