Gospel’s Bill Gaither and Band in Carmel Friday
Legendary recording artist, Bill Gaither and his multi-Grammy Award winning Gaither Vocal Band (pictured in attached jpg) will present their 2026 Then Came The Morning Spring Tour on Friday in Carmel at the Northview Church at 7 p.m.
For nearly half a century, Gaither has been a musical trailblazer. Together with his life-long songwriter partner and wife, Gloria, the two have collectively written more than 900 songs and were honored to be named ASCAP Christian Songwriters of the Century. The couple’s reputation as performers, songwriters and mentors for newly-discovered artists is known world-wide. Their beloved series of Homecoming CDs and DVDs continues to top the sales charts and attract an ever-increasing audience. Honors and accolades have flowed their way in bunches, including nearly two dozen Grammy nominations over the past six decades.
Taking the stage with Gaither and the Gaither Vocal Band, featuring 20-year Vocal Band veteran, Wes Hampton, as well as Adam Crabb, Todd Suttles and Reggie Smith, will be popular female vocalist, Ladye Love Smith, talented male vocalist, Gene McDonald, as well as Gaither’s musical entourage, comprised of Kevin Williams, Matthew Holt and Michael Rowsey.
Considered one of the oldest musicians still actively touring, recording and performing, Gaither, who turns 90 later this month, continues to possess an energy and excitement that amazes industry leaders, fellow singers and musicians, as well as bandmates who have the privilege of stepping on stages all across the country with him night after night. “The truth is,” Gaither says smiling, “I just love doing what I do, and I believe in the message in the songs. Each night we try to create moments that will allow our audience to walk away feeling differently than when they came. That’s why we continue to do what we do. I still love it!”
