Iconic Gaither duo announces
historic 'Homecoming' release
ALEXANDRIA, Ind. (BP) — Iconic Gospel duo Bill and Gloria Gaither are releasing a first-ever album entirely of songs the two have penned during their marriage and partnership spanning decades. “You are Loved” features new recordings from the duo’s November 2025 historic “Homecoming” celebration with more than 250 artists at TBN studios in Hendersonville, Tenn., and is one of four projects drawing from the 70 recordings completed there. The album launches today, Aug. 11, with the release of its first single, “I Just Feel Like Something Good Is About to Happen,” which the Gaithers penned in 1992, in a new recording featuring Angela Primm and Amy Perry of Selah, along with the voices of the hundreds who joined the Homecoming. Sandi Patty, Janet Paschal, Jimmy Fortune, Mark Lowry, Wes Hampton, Reggie Smith, Wyatt Austin, Adam Crabb, The Martins and The Isaacs are among the featured artists joining the Gaithers.
