It will feature the new line-up of the Gaither Vocal Band
following Guy Penrod's move to a solo career. As Bill Gaither has
stated at various times of transition, “You never replace
a group member, you simply find a fresh, new direction.”:
And with that philosophy at heart, Bill Gaither has gone far beyond
simply replacing his long-time lead singer. He has completely
recreated the Gaither Vocal Band, now expanding the size of the
group from four members to five and bringing back an all-star cast
of voices from the Vocal Band's rich legacy of talent.
Effective immediately, the new roster for the five-member Gaither
Vocal Band will be: Bill Gaither, David Phelps, Wes Hampton,
Michael English and Mark Lowry.
