Atlanta, GA - For two decades, during the ‘80s, ‘90s and the first five years of the new millenium, ASCAP Songwriters of the Century, Bill & Gloria Gaither presented the Jubilaté New Year’s Eve music spectular. The event, which was enjoyed by literally thousands, via a live, national television audience and sold-out crowds, was hosted by numerous cities, including Atlanta, Charlotte and Phoenix.
This year, the event returns to the city where it all began, as the Gaithers bring this year’s New Year's Eve celebration, to the Gwinnett Center in Atlanta (Duluth) on Saturday, December 31, 2011.
For nearly half a century, multiple Grammy and Dove award winners, Bill & Gloria Gaither have been musical trailblazers. Their reputation as songwriters and mentors for newly discovered singers and musicians is known worldwide. Their beloved Homecoming series continues to top national music and video sales charts. Fans who have loved and followed Gaither music for years are thrilled with the return of the Jubilaté New Year’s Eve concert. “The Holidays can be a very sad and lonely time for some, yet very exciting and festive for others,” Bill Gaither states. “Regardless, it’s a time that should be spent among friends, and what better way to spend it than with thousands of people, enjoying great music, ringing in the new year.”
Guests of Jubilaté will usher in the New Year with special music, comedy and many surprises. Past events have included a balloon drop and fireworks at midnight. Jubilaté will feature a cavalcade of singers and musicians, whose collective talents have been honored with countless awards. Joining the Gaithers and their multi-award winning Gaither Vocal Band, featuring Mark Lowry, David Phelps, Michael English and Wes Hampton, include Ernie Haase & Signature Sound, The Martins, The Isaacs, Taranda Greene, Gene McDonald, Gordon Mote, Karen Peck & New River, Lynda Randle and Kevin Williams (all artists subject to change).
