Booth Brothers Headline Sneed Family Homecoming
Ronnie and Michael grew up with the sound of music in their home. Raised in Tampa, Florida, their father, Ron Booth Sr., sang in several southern gospel groups, including the Rebels Quartet. Ronnie and Michael began traveling with their father as the Booth Brothers in 1990. Father and sons ministered together for the next eight years, singing wherever God opened the doors .
In 1998, Ron Sr. retired from the stage so Ronnie and Michael began looking for a new singing partner. They had several capable singers come through the group, but finally teamed up with Jim Brady, formerly of The Schulers.
The combination has worked for over ten years and Jim has become an integral part of the group adding his ability for writing great songs. This trio has been gracing fans and blessing audiences with their appearances on the Gaither Homecoming tour and their own fairly heavy touring schedule over the last several years. They are known for their high energy and humorous yet touching concerts, but their deepest desire is to show God’s love, grace and forgiveness through the song God has given them to sing. The Booth Brothers’ dedication to the music they love has rewarded them with multiple awards and recognitions.
The host artist for this event are following in the footsteps of such greats as Naomi and the Segos and the Hoppers. These groups have made indelible marks in the professional attitude of the Sneed Family. It is by following the example of these spectacular artists that they are carving a distinctive and lasting niche in their own right. Of course we're talking about the Sneed Family from the rolling hills of Kentucky.
Consisting of the husband and wife combination of Jeff and Pam Sneed, their daughter and son-in-law Caleb and Amanda Cowan, along with their sons Seth and Jacob, they blend their Christ-centered lives, heart-felt music, and inspired songs together to create an anointed sound that blesses listeners. The Sneed Family began its gospel music journey in 1982 as “Glory Bound” with four young men just out of High School. The group was founded by Jeff Sneed. Jeff met and married Pam Saylors who has become the predominant staple in the current group. Today they are living the dream night after night with their family, singing the songs that change lives. From early beginnings in a small Kentucky town, this group has flourished into their own niche. The Sneed Family has 100 percent become a family affair, rising to national success in such a short period of time.
In early 2008 The Sneed Family launched a brand new Christian Television Show called “Glory Bound Jubilee”seen in over 1 million homes each week. The Glory Bound Jubilee is a branch off of The Sneed Family’s road ministry, which goes into venues and churches across the country showcasing many of the testimonies of our Christian faith. The Show also brings the faces of Gospel music into the homes of believers and non-believers alike. The Sneed Family believes that this show is their part of the Great Commission.
Jeff Sneed received the honor of being chosen to host the first Loretta Lynn Gospel Music Festival on her ranch in Hurricane Mills, TN. Also in 2014, The Sneeds has been nominated as the Fan Favorite Artist and the Breakthrough Artist in the prestigious Absolutely Gospel Music Awards to be held on April 15, 2014.
The Sneed Family has a distinct style, a versatile performance, and a heart for ministry. Their desire is that God would use the message in their music to help lead many people to a “heart felt” salvation and ultimately a home in Heaven.
Also appearing at the big Homecoming event will be HighRoad III. In a world where conformity is king and following the crowd is practically a survival instinct, the women of HighRoad III, an award-winning Appalachian gospel group from Nashville who just happen to be the best of friends have always preferred the road less traveled.
Holding fast to the message that guides them each and every day, HighRoad III isn't just another group of talented musicians who play songs that are close to their hearts. Instead, they feel incredibly blessed to provide longtime fans and new listeners alike with the message of hope found in the Gospel and pledge never to forget their down-home country roots in the process.
Tickets for this big event are available by E-mailing boxoffice@plaza.org or calling (270) 361-2101.

Gaithers Film Homecoming Tent Revival Special at Billy Graham Library
"It's the perfect place for us," says Bill Gaither
CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 9, 2011 /Christian Newswire/ -- Southern gospel music legends Bill and Gloria Gaither, along with the "Homecoming" friends - more than 100 gospel artists - were in Charlotte last week to film the Gaither Homecoming Tent Revival special at the Billy Graham Library.
"It's a perfect place for us," said Bill Gaither about the Billy Graham Library.
The Gaither Homecoming Tent Revival special is reminiscent of early tent revival meetings, much like the "Canvas Cathedral" in Los Angeles where Billy Graham gained worldwide recognition in 1949. In fact, the Gaither event aimed to recreate the atmosphere of that historic crusade, with its large tent and standing-room only crowd.

"A lot of our folks grew up singing in tent meetings," Gaither continued. "Going through the Library and seeing one of the exhibitions is that of the old tent in Los Angeles brought back those memories for us."
"Music has always been a very important part of the Billy Graham Crusades. In fact, the Vocal Band has sung at the last 10 or 12 Crusades, including the last one in New York City," said Gaither. "And, so to have an entire evening, singing songs about Jesus, singing songs about the cross, singing songs about invitation, I think is a great thing."
Before the event, private tours were given of the Billy Graham Library to the participating artists. The group was able to see depictions of various scenes from Billy and Ruth Graham's life, including a replica of the "Canvas Cathedral" from the 1949 Los Angeles Crusade.
Bill and Gloria Gaither were joined by legendary gospel music artists The Crabb Family, Michael English, David Phelps, Guy Penrod, Mark Lowry, The Gatlin Brothers, Buddy Greene, Larnelle Harris, The Nelons, The Martins, The Isaacs, longtime Billy Graham Crusade soloist George Beverly Shea and musical director Cliff Barrows, plus many more.
During the program, Bill Gaither presented 102-year-old George Beverly Shea with a commemorative copy of Billboard magazine, which has listed a Gaither Homecoming special with George Beverly Shea as #3 on its chart of best-selling music videos.
Visit www.gaither.com for more information about the Gaither Homecoming Tent Revival special, including the complete artist list. Future announcements about air dates and the availability for purchase will also be found on the website.
About the Gaithers
The Gaithers, who will celebrate 50 years of marriage next year, have been in the gospel music industry for more than 40 years. The couple spent the first several years of their married life juggling teaching jobs, writing, singing, recording and publishing. By 1967, they were making music full time.
By 1991, Bill had formed a group called the Gaither Vocal Band and had been performing with them for several years. He pulled together some of his gospel music heroes to record a song for what he thought would be their final album. What took place that day was very special, and it was captured on video. Thus, the "Homecoming" series was born.
Over the decades, the Gaithers have won top honors in gospel music, including more than two dozen Dove awards, several Grammy awards, and receiving the Gospel Music Association's "Songwriter of the Year" distinction multiple times.
Many of the songs sung in churches today were written by Bill and Gloria Gaither, including: Because He Lives, There's Just Something About That Name and He Touched Me. In fact, together, the Gaithers have penned hundreds of gospel songs still used in worship settings today.

Premier Productions Ranks As Pollstars No. 3 Promoter in the World in First Quarter of 2011
HIGH POINT, N.C. – April 18, 2011 – Premier Productions posted its busiest 1st quarter in the history of the company. The company wrapped up its 16th successful Winter Jam Tour Spectacular in April with more than 500,000 participants over the course of three months and nearly 50 venues. The company also promoted 12 concerts for Hillsong United’s Aftermath tour, selling out 10 locations including the famed Los Angeles Staples Center – a first for any Christian event.

“It has been a whirlwind three months,” said co-owner Roy Morgan, “and it’s not slowing down. We are heading into another busy summertime season with Premier Festivals, as well as an additional 60-70 concert events in the Fall.”
The successful quarter also got a big boost from the first three dates of the ever-popular Gaither Homecoming Tour, not to mention several other concert events and artists.
