NASHVILLE (January 26, 2024) – The Gaither Vocal Band is celebrating the season of love today with the completion of their Love Songs (Gaither Music Group) project: the release of their highly anticipated Let Me Be There EP and Love Songs CD, alongside an accompanying TV special and DVD. These releases, available starting today, are a heartfelt tribute to their wives and their love for them, showcasing the band's unique blend of harmonic and soulful melodies.

“On Valentine’s Day last year, the Vocal Band wanted to try to do something very special for our wives, so we thought it would be a good idea to bring them into the studio and sing them some great love songs,” stated Bill Gaither.

“The lovely word LOVE has been so worn thin and desecrated that we can hardly use it to express what we all so long to find. What we actually seek is the courage to know and be known, to trust enough to see and be seen as our most vulnerable selves,” said Gloria Gaither, describing the meaningfulness of this recording. “So these songs were chosen in the hope for the courage to see our most primary relationships with the purity and power of what LOVE was intended to mean—concepts including: I see you. I trust you with my heart. I promise to not run away when the road gets rough. I promise to find joy in simple things.”

The title track to Let Me Be There, a beautiful cover of Olivia Newton-John’s classic hit, is just a glimpse of the extraordinary musical journey that awaits fans in this collection. Other tracks from the EP include the Neil Sedaka hit “Laughter in the Rain” and “Have I Told You Lately,” originally written and recorded by Van Morrison and covered by everyone from Rod Stewart to Kenny Rogers and Barbara Mandrell.

The entire Love Songs project is one that resonates deeply with the band members, reflecting their gratitude and affection for their life partners who have been their steadfast support through life's challenges and rigorous touring schedules. The album is not just a collection of songs but a tribute to enduring love and companionship.

The full album follows the band's successful 14-city Christmas tour and recent GRAMMY nomination for Best Roots Gospel Album for Shine: The Darker the Night the Brighter the Light. This new record features Bill Gaither, Wes Hampton, Todd Suttles, Adam Crabb and Reggie Smith, whose harmonies beautifully interpret these cherished love songs.

The accompanying DVD and TV special offer fans a comprehensive experience of the Gaither Vocal Band's latest endeavor. In an intimate setting, the band members invited their wives to join them, sharing their appreciation and serenading them with these timeless love songs.

This release holds a significant presence across various platforms. Fans can enjoy songs from the Love Songs project on the Gaither Music TV YouTube channel (over 3 million subscribers), including a YouTube Premiere scheduled for February 2; Apple Music’s Front Porch Country Gospel Collection playlist; Gaither Radio on Amazon and the Gaither Catalog Collection.
