Bill and Gloria Gaither Host Red Carpet Premiere for You Are Loved Tribute Video at Franklin Theatre

Bill and Gloria Gaither hosted a red carpet premiere for their new video "You Are Loved: A Tribute to the Songs of Bill and Gloria Gaither" at the Franklin Theatre in Franklin, Tennessee, on September 24, 2026.

The event brought together artists, industry figures, and fans to celebrate the release of the tribute project, which features more than 250 artists performing songs from the Gaithers' extensive catalog. The Franklin Theatre, a historic venue in downtown Franklin, provided an intimate setting for the premiere.

Gaither Music Group announced the project earlier in 2026, describing it as one of the most ambitious tribute recordings in Christian and gospel music history. The sheer number of participating artists reflects the reach and influence the Gaithers have had across multiple generations of Christian music.

Bill Gaither, who has been writing and producing gospel music since the 1960s, and Gloria Gaither, his longtime collaborator and lyricist, have built one of the most recognized catalogs in the genre. Songs like "Because He Lives," "He Touched Me," and "The King Is Coming" have become standards in churches across the country.

The same week as the premiere, Brothers of the Heart, a group featuring Jimmy Fortune, Bradley Walker, Mike Rogers, and Ben Isaacs, performed at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival in Austin on September 26 and 27, 2026. The group is distributed through Gaither Music Group.

Gaither Music Group has continued to expand its reach through video productions, live events, and digital distribution. The "Homecoming" video series, which the Gaithers launched in the early 1990s, remains one of the best-selling video franchises in Christian music history.

The "You Are Loved" tribute is expected to be available on major streaming platforms and through Gaither's direct-to-consumer channels following the premiere.
