Impact of The Gaither Homecoming Series
In the early 1990s, songwriters Bill and Gloria Gaither developed an enterprise known as The Gaither Homecoming Series. This did much to introduce progressive Southern gospel to the masses. Through video and television distribution many progressive Southern gospel artists such as The Martins, The Hoppers and The Isaacs became household names.
The series has also taken these groups to such places as Ireland; Sydney, Australia; London, England; and South Africa; not to mention almost every major US city for live concerts.
