Gaither Homecoming Tour 2010
September 9th
Cedar Park Center
The "Gaither
Homecoming Tour 2010" kicks off its coast-to-coast
contemporary gospel music tour with a one-night concert in
Central Texas. The legendary gospel family will be joined
by rising stars for the tour-launching concert on Thursday,
September 9th at the Cedar Park Center.
For almost half a
century, multiple Grammy and Dove Award winner Bill Gaither has
remained a trailblazing performer, songwriter, and mentor for
newly-discovered artists world-wide. His series of
"Homecoming" CDs and DVDs continue to top the charts.
Gaither formed his
first group - the Bill Gaither Trio, consisting of his sister
Mary Ann and brother Danny - in 1956 while a college student at
Anderson College. Following years of trying to manage
both a music career and a full-time job as an English teacher,
he quit his teaching job in 1967 and worked full time in the
Christian music industry. He recorded "He Touched
Me" in 1964, which became his breakthrough song.
The roster of
"Homecoming" performers joining Gaither for the tour
include the Gaither Vocal Band, The Martins, and Karen Peck and
New River. Throughout the tour, various other artist -
include Jason Crabb, Collingsworth Family, and Jeff Taylor -
will appear on specific dates in specific cities.
Tickets for the Austin
concert are $31 and $41. For more information and
