ALEXANDRIA, Ind. — Multi-Grammy Award-winner Bill Gaither will host an evening of music, laughter and encouragement, featuring the Gaither Vocal Band, on Thursday, Jan. 19 at Olive Baptist Church in Pensacola.
The Gaither Vocal Band, with David Phelps, Wes Hampton, Adam Crabb, Todd Suttles and Bill Gaither, will share timeless gospel classics, as well as inspiring new favorites embraced by audiences of all ages and backgrounds.
This tour stop displays many of the songs included on their latest, “Better Together” recording. Joining The Gaither Vocal Band will be female vocalist Charlotte Ritchie and male vocalist Gene McDonald as well as guitarist and comedian Kevin Williams.
Gaither continues to be delighted by audiences' response to the concerts, now more than 40 years after he quit his day job as a teacher.
“I've always said it all starts with a great song, and we are fortunate that each concert includes great songs that have stood the test of time,” he said. “With all the musical choices that are available now, there is still a special place for the joy and optimism that reside in Gospel music. Good news never gets old.”
Named ASCAP's Songwriters of the Century, Bill and Gloria Gaither have written more than 700 popular gospel songs throughout their multi-decade career, including “He Touched Me,” “Because He Lives” and “There's Just Something About That Name.”
The concert will begin at 7 p.m. Complete information, including ticket pricing, is available by calling 475-1148 or visiting www.gaither.com or www.premierproductions.com. To charge tickets by phone, call 855-484-1991.
