With feet firmly planted in faith and family, drawing from the stream started by the Lefevres and carried on by Rex Nelon, Kelly, Jason, and Amber crystallize a new vision for the Nelons’ three decade gospel legacy. With numerable awards and accolades including three GRAMMY Nominations, Six Gospel Music Association DOVE Awards and many songs that have soared to the top of national radio charts, this family trio continues to produce innovative music that embraces their traditional roots, while simultaneously reaching beyond various musical boundaries with an emphasis on introducing songs for the church. All the while bridging the generational gap of music lovers with incomparable harmonies and great songs.
The Nelons’ continue a heavy touring schedule consisting of more than 150 concerts annually that takes their brand of Christian music around the world, recently just finishing a very successful Scandinavian Tour. They are regulars on the famed Gaither Homecoming Video Series. In addition they have become sought after worship leaders in various State Music and Choral Conferences.
During the rare times when the Nelons’ are not on the road, they serve as Artists in Residence at Jacksonville’s Trinity Baptist Church. As they travel, they’re Ambassadors for Trinity Baptist College, where Amber is a sophomore. For (original group member) Kelly Nelon Clark, singing alongside her husband (song-writer and group arranger) Jason Clark, and daughter (vocal power-house), Amber Nelon Thompson this is a full-circle moment as she reflects on the countless nights she shared the stage with her Hall of Fame Father, Rex Nelon.
Today, the Nelons’ take all the elements you’ve come to expect from the group—unparalleled vocal excellence, a sound built on the interplay between a soaring soprano and Kelly’s emotional smooth alto with an intertwining tenor, and add impeccable tight family harmony with an uncanny gift of communicating God’s love and you have a worship experience that you’ll not soon forget

You may not automatically know their names, but if you've seen a Gaither Homecoming video, attended a Billy Graham Crusade, listened to Disney's The Lion King Soundtrack or seen the Grand Ole Opry on television, you've heard the voices of Reggie and Ladye Love Smith. While their singing talents open many doors for the couple, it is their ability to relate to the personal needs of the people in the seats that earn them a standing invitation at most places where they minister. As a couple and as individuals, the Smith's offer audiences much more than just mere entertainment. Ladye holds a Master's Degree in Counseling and is frequently involved in women's retreats and conferences. Reggie, in addition to producing various album projects, lends his music education background to conducting retreats and praise & worship conferences. It is when they take the stage together, however, appreciating each other's strengths and weaknesses, and loving, laughing, and sharing the special bond created by their long friendship and fourteen-year marriage, that the Smith's truly connect with people around the globe.

For 30+ years, The Isaacs have forged a uniquely artistic path from the mean streets of New York City to the foothills of Eastern Kentucky and down every stretch of highway in between and beyond—fusing bluegrass, gospel and country—to make an extraordinary mark on three distinctive genres of music. But when the time came to record their 30th album, they were looking to shake up the status quo, to break new ground musically. So with the help of producer Mark Bright, (who also produced Carrie Underwood, Rascal Flatts and Sara Evans) and the opportunity to record at Reba McEntire's Starstruck Studio, The Isaacs set out to show what they're really made of. Naturally, the band's second release for Gaither Music Group, is the stunning, eclectic and joyful result.
The Isaacs will always be a family band; emphasis on family. They will always sing to the people who come to hear them sing—country folk, city folk and all the folks in between. They will always 'dance with the one who brung 'em.'
"It doesn't matter where we go or how the music changes or grows, we'll always be glad for the home folks, for the bluegrass and southern gospel fans who have supported us," Sonya says. "And I think they'll always be excited for us."

The Martins' vocal and musical talents speak for themselves. Their impact on the Christian music industry has been widely unique and accepted, yet the industry has been unable to appropriately identify their style. Rather than resting in a single niche among the numerous Christian music genres, The Martins have rummaged freely through a stack of style books, grabbing whatever interests them. Sometimes the different elements are unaltered and traditional, but more often they are tossed into the trio's musical blender so that a new -- and exceedingly tasty -- mixture emerges. The result has been labeled simply as Martin Music .
While each of the vocalists grew up firmly and proudly planted in the Southern Gospel tradition, it is not surprising that as they have matured, a broad range of influences have entered their musical mix. Billboard Magazine describes The Martins as, breaking down walls and blurring the lines that separate Southern Gospel from Inspiration, Adult Contemporary, and other popular Christian music formats. The trio is now touring in support of their latest Spring Hill Music release, Decade. This project showcases the trademark harmonies that The Martins have become known for and offers a satisfying taste for every musical palate, ranging from innovative and refashioned hymn arrangements to contemporary songs of praise & worship. There is a lot of variety in our repertoire now, says Joyce. But it's still very recognizably us.
After many years of music ministry, and traveling down some of life's toughest paths, The Martins have garnered six Dove awards and a Grammy nomination to become one of Christian music's most critically acclaimed and best-selling vocal groups. These artists have showcased their stunning and distinctive harmonies before a vast array of audiences, ranging from Bill Gaither s award-winning Homecoming Video and Concert Series to the White House for a televised concert with President and First Lady Bush, called Celebrating America's Musical Heritage. But, perhaps one of their biggest accomplishments is the fact that regardless of their environment, whether performing at historic venues like Carnegie Hall in New York or sharing the platform at crusades with a hero like Billy Graham, The Martins can be seen portraying their usual persona of being identifiable and approachable in a word, real. Regardless of their circumstances, they haven not forgotten from where they have come, and are still trusting God to take them where He wants them to go.

For Jeff and Sheri, gospel music is genetically programmed into their DNA. As members of acclaimed musical families—Jeff’s father is one of the Easter Brothers and Sheri’s mother is a member of The Lewis Family—they grew up surrounded by the sound of people praising God through their musical gifts.
Jeff & Sheri have been nominated for numerous Dove Awards and won five. They’ve also received a Grammy nomination, and Sheri has been named the Singing News Favorite Alto eleven times and the Singing News Female Vocalist four times. Jeff & Sheri’s wall of awards also include three Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music Association Awards, two International Country Gospel Music Association, nine Voice Awards for Female Artist, five Voice Awards for Song/Single of the Year, two Voice Awards for Christian Country Group, four SGM Fan Fair/USGN awards, five SGN Scoops Diamond Awards, four Hearts Aflame Awards, and three Cash Box awards. They have also participated in the Gaither Homecoming Video Series since 1993, which has sold over 15 million units.
Apart from their frequent appearances on the Gaither Homecoming tour and videos, Jeff & Sheri have a fairly heavy touring schedule of their own. “When we perform, we want people to leave a little different than when they came in,” Sheri explains. “We want them to have a great time smiling, laughing, crying and healing. We want them to know God loves them and that He is in control.”

Hailed by a New York Times reporter as “someone who has quietly become one of the most influential people in America,”
Andy Andrews is the author of New York Times bestsellers The Noticer and The Traveler’s Gift, and is also an in-demand speaker for the world’s largest organizations. Zig Ziglar said, “Andy Andrews is the best speaker I have ever seen.” The Noticer and The Traveler’s Gift were featured selections of ABC’s Good Morning America, have been translated into nearly 20 languages, and continue to appear on bestseller lists around the world. Andy has spoken at the request of four different United States presidents and toured military bases around the world, being called upon by the Department of Defense to speak about the principles contained in his books. Arguably, there is no single person on the planet better at weaving subtle yet life-changing lessons into riveting tales of adventure and intrigue both on paper and on stage. He lives in Orange Beach, Alabama, with his wife, Polly, and their two sons.

Gene McDonald has already accumulated impressive credentials in the Southern Gospel Industry. He sang with the Plainsmen for two years after having sang with Jack Campbell and the Ambassadors. You may remember Jack Campbell as the writer of a number of Gospel Classics such as "I Know A Man Who Can" and "Jesus Use Me."
Gene cut his teeth on Gospel singing. He started singing at the age of three. He said that his parents took him to singing schools and taught him how to read music and harmonize. Gene says that if not for his parents, he would probably be doing something besides singing today.
Gene attended college at ASU in Jonesboro, AR where he received his Music Education degree and developed his deep, rich bass voice. In 1989, Gene attended the Ben Speer School of Music. Ben took a special interest in Gene and took him under his wing when he moved to Nashville. Gene even lived in Ben's studio for his first six months there. In 1990, Gene started singing for the Plainsmen Quartet as their lead/baritone. Then in 1994, Gene had a dream opportunity when Ben invited him to sing on a Bill Gaither session. Not long after that, Mr. Gaither gave him the privilege to be on the Homecoming video series. Rex Nelon got to hear and know Gene through the taping sessions they did together for Gaither. Rex was another person who took a special interest in Gene's career. He asked Gene to sing on the Grand Ole Opry with the Carol Lee Singers, and was also the person who recommended Gene to Les Beasley when The Florida Boys were looking for a new bass singer. He was recently nominated as Favorite Male Vocalist by the readers of the Gospel Voice magazine.
Gene and his wife Teri have been married for six years and have one child, Nathan Taft. The McDonalds currently reside in Nashville, TN.

SKAGWAY (July 23, 7:00 A.M.–9:00 P.M.)
The sidewalks are all but rolled up in Skagway come winter, so you can only imagine the frightful conditions endured by the gold prospectors who passed through en route to the Yukon, with a mandatory ton of supplies to be hauled with them over the steep and treacherous Trail of ‘98. Today, summertime visits to Skagway require nothing of the sort, but you can still ride the antique White Pass & Yukon narrow-gauge railway up through silvery-purple rock faces, past Dead Horse Gulch, to see what it was like back then.SKAGWAY (July 23, 7:00 A.M.–9:00 P.M.)

How does it feel when a monumental chunk of ice splits off a glacier and crashes into the sea? The sound is like thunder. The impact shoots water hundreds of feet into the air. You hold your breath as you catch the moment on film. Then you wait for it all to happen again. And it does.
KETCHIKAN (July 25, 7:00 A.M.–1:00 P.M.)
Built out over the water and climbing weathered stairways, Ketchikan clings to the shores of Tongass Narrows.
