For nearly half a century, multi-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. His beloved Homecoming Series has consistently topped sales charts and attracted an ever-increasing audience.
The 88-year-old music mogul continues to tour regularly, presenting over 50 concerts annually, and for 30 years, he has been bringing Christmas concert events each holiday season to cities nationwide. As the 2024 holiday season rolls around, the legendary recording artist makes plans to present a festive, Christmas celebration as The All Is Bright Christmas Tour comes to nearly a dozen cities during November and December. This special event will feature Gaither’s own multi-award winning group, The Gaither Vocal Band. Gaither and his musical entourage will bring yuletide cheer to the Cypress Baptist Church in Benton on Thursday, December 5. This exciting evening begins at 7:00pm.
During this special night, the Gospel Music Hall of Fame members will ring in the holidays with joyful harmonies and signature stylings, reminding all who attend of the eternal song of hope as all heaven and nature sing and celebrate the birth of the Savior and the unconditional love of the Father who continually brings light to a dark world.
The Gaither Vocal Band, featuring Gaither, Wes Hampton, Adam Crabb, Todd Suttles and Reggie Smith, will be joined on this season’s Tour by several talented musical guests. Each evening will include timeless gospel classics, as well as refreshing, inspiring new favorites, in addition to classic Christmas standards guaranteed to bring holiday cheer. Few events have the ability to unite individuals from all walks of life the way Gaither concerts do.
Taking the stage with the Gaither Vocal Band will be multi-talented singer/songwriter/speaker/comedian and Vocal Band alumni Mark Lowry. Other artists featured include popular female vocalists, Ladye Love Smith and Angela Primm, as well as talented male vocalist, Gene McDonald, newcomer phenom and former The Voice winner, Chris Blue, as well as The Easters and The Hoppers.
