New Day Records, a division of Daywind Music Group, announced the signing of the Ledbetter Brothers in October 2026. The label confirmed the deal through the Gospel Music Association's news platform.

New Day Records is part of Daywind Music Group, one of the largest independent Christian music companies in the United States. The label has built a reputation for developing gospel and Southern gospel artists.

The Ledbetter Brothers bring a sound rooted in traditional gospel and harmony-driven worship. The signing adds another family act to a label known for its commitment to faith-based music with broad appeal across Black and white church audiences.

The announcement came during a busy period for gospel music industry news. Motown Gospel recently signed GRAMMY-nominated artist Koryn Hawthorne and promoted Justin Tomlinson to Vice President of Marketing. WieRok Records signed singer and worship leader Daniel Doss. Music Services, a division of SESAC Music Group, announced two leadership appointments.

The 57th Annual GMA Dove Awards are also drawing attention, with the final performer and presenter lineup announced. Brandon Lake, Lainey Wilson, and Tye Tribbett are among those set to appear.

The Museum of Christian and Gospel Music, which opened in October 2025, is approaching its first anniversary and has reported a year of steady growth in visitors and programming.

New Day Records did not release details on the Ledbetter Brothers' debut project timeline, but the label said more information would be available in the coming months.
