Lowell Lundstrom
(1939-2012)
Inducted 2005
Lowell Lundstrom, born in Minneapolis, moved with his family to South Dakota when he was six years old. When Lowell was in the eighth grade he asked his Dad to teach him to play guitar. At 13 he sat in with dance bands playing for free, just so he could learn to play. At 14 he started his own country band The Rhythmairs, but began playing rock & roll when it became popular. This led to winning second prize out of 92 contestants in a Horace Heidt Talent Show. Lowell was given a radio program on a local station in South Dakota. When he first met his wife Connie and she sang gospel songs, it struck a place in Lowell’s heart. Lowell, Connie, and family spread their gospel message through radio, television, books, gospel songs, dozens of record albums, and Marriage Seminars- all on an international level. In 1996, Lowell and Connie started the Celebration Church in the Minneapolis area.
