Bill Gaither Announces Spring 2027 Because He Lives Tour

Alexandria, IN – As legendary recording artist Bill Gaither heads into the final leg of his 2026 Fall Tour, the multi-Grammy winner has announced plans to take his Because He Lives Tour to a dozen cities in the spring of 2027. At 90 years of age, Gaither, who turns 91 in March, is considered one of the oldest musicians still actively touring, recording and performing, yet the celebrated music mogul continues to possess energy and excitement that amaze fellow singers and musicians, as well as fans alike.

For nearly half a century, Gaither has been a musical trailblazer. Together with his lifelong songwriting partner and wife, Gloria, he has written more than 900 songs, and the couple was honored to be named ASCAP Christian Songwriters of the Century. Their reputation as performers, songwriters and mentors for newly discovered artists is known worldwide. Their beloved series of Homecoming CDs and DVDs continues to top the sales charts and attract an ever-increasing audience. Honors and accolades have flowed their way in bunches, including nearly two dozen Grammy nominations over the past six decades.

The Because He Lives Tour commemorates the classic hymn penned in 1971 by Bill and Gloria. Over the years the song has been recorded by hundreds of renowned recording artists, including Carrie Underwood, Harry Connick Jr., Alabama, Matt Maher and CeCe Winans. It is sung every Easter in countless churches around the world as they celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Although it was written more than a half century ago, the song continues to inspire all generations with its message of hope.

“Life is worth the living,” Bill shares, “for only one reason. He lives!”

This celebration of life will be the central focus of the 2027 Because He Lives Tour. Joining Gaither’s own multi-award-winning Gaither Vocal Band, which features 20-year Vocal Band veteran Wes Hampton along with Adam Crabb, Todd Suttles and Reggie Smith, will be popular female vocalist Ladye Love Smith, talented male vocalist Gene McDonald, and newcomer phenom and The Voice winner Chris Blue. Gaither’s band of Kevin Williams, Matthew Holt and Michael Rowsey rounds out the lineup.
