For nearly half a century, multiple Grammy and Dove award winner Bill Gaither has been a musical trailblazer. His reputation as a performer, songwriter, and mentor for newly-discovered artists is known world-wide. Despite the music industry's current state of flux, Gaither's beloved series of Homecoming CDs and DVDs continue to top the charts and attract an ever-increasing audience. Whether you are a brand new fan or a longtime lover of feel-good Gospel music, don't miss this incredible concert experience.

"In times like these we must reflect on what is most important in our lives...faith, family and friends," explains Gaither. "I invite everyone to join me and my Homecoming Friends for an uplifting musical extravaganza filled with joy, laughter, good music and good memories."

The roster of Homecoming performers hitting the stage with Gaither and the Gaither Vocal Band includes The Isaacs, The Martins, Karen Peck & New River, Mark Lowry, David Phelps, Michael English, Lynda Randle, Buddy Greene, Charlotte Ritchie, Gene McDonald and Kevin Williams.
