Gaither Vocal Band - Then Came the Morning Tour 2026 - Columbus (Westerville), OH

  • Gaither Vocal Band

    Gospel

    Since the early 1990s, the Gaither Vocal Band has served as a standard-bearer in the world of gospel music. Founded by legendary gospel songwriter and producer, Bill Gaither, this Grammy-winning vocal group has performed in the worlds most prestigious venues, including the Sydney Opera House, The Kennedy Center, and Carnegie Hall.

    The list of men who have comprised the Gaither Vocal Band over the past 30 years reads like a “Who’s Who” among the gospel music industry’s best-loved voices, including Steve Green, Larnelle Harris, Mark Lowry, Michael English, David Phelps and many others.

    A featured favorite in the Billboard chart-busting Gaither Homecoming Series, the Gaither Vocal Band continues to fill venues across North America with a steady tour schedule every year.

    Today, the Gaither Vocal Band roster is comprised of five power-packed voices, including Bill Gaither, Wes Hampton, Adam Crabb, Todd Suttles and Reggie Smith. Individually, these men are gifted artists and men of authentic faith. Together, they are the known around the world for their stunning vocals, innovative harmonies and life-altering message… a message of grace, hope and redemption.

  • Chris Blue

    Gospel

    Chris Blue is an American soul singer. He is the winner of season 12 of the American talent competition The Voice at the age of 27.

  • Gene McDonald

    Gospel

    Gene McDonald first began singing when he was still a young child and, surprisingly, sang the high tenor part with family who traveled across the Midwest from 1968 to 1980. When his sister left for college and the family stopped touring together, he joined Jack Campbell and the Ambassadors (also as a tenor). It was in 1982 that his voice changed from high tenor to a booming bass. During his college years at Arkansas State University, he received operatic vocal training. There he also studied under one of the leading choral directors in the nation, Al Skoog.

    Gene later attended the Ben Speer School of Music, and went on to sing with The Plainsmen Quartet (1989-1992) and The Florida Boys Quartet (1998-2007). He was invited to his first Homecoming taping in 1994 and has since become a regular in the Homecoming choir. Figuratively and literally, Gene stands tall among a rich legacy of voices comprising the Homecoming bass section throughout the past twenty years.

    Gene is also a devoted husband to Teri, and daddy to their precious little boy, Nathan.

  • Kevin Williams

    Gospel

    Kevin Williams is an American guitarist, comedian, and speaker whose 37-year career
    in music is full of milestones. Kevin is the guitarist, band leader, and resident funny guy with Bill & Gloria Gaither, The Gaither Vocal Band, and "The Gaither Homecoming" TV Series, performing approximately 50-60 concerts per year with them. He is now in his 31st year with the Gaithers, and also co-hosts "Bill Gaither's Homecoming Radio" heard on over 3,500 radio stations and outlets. As a soloist & humorist, in addition to the Gaither tour, Kevin performs an additional 30 to 40 dates per year, and has 12 solo projects. He records for the Gaither Music Group.

  • Ladye Love Smith

    Gospel

    Reggie and Ladye Love Smith have become an integral part of the Gaither Homecoming family during the past 18 years; first as back-up singers in Nashville, and later as a feature vocal duet in the award-winning Gaither Homecoming video series.

    These internationally-loved musicians have performed in more than 25 countries and in such venues as the Super Bowl, New York’s famed Carnegie Hall, and the Kremlin in Moscow. Their voices can be heard on countless recordings, including the original The Lion King movie soundtrack.

    Musically, the Smith’s versatile voices and broad range of influences lend themselves to a variety of styles, from country to big band to contemporary worship. Yet in all of its refreshing variety, the music of Reggie and Ladye Love Smith retains their signature, heart-melting sound. With impeccable musicianship, soulful voices and humble spirits this duo is truly a breath of fresh air, offering a unique authenticity that has drawn listeners from all across the planet.
