Russell County native, Kevin Williams, celebrates his 31st year as guitarist and band leader for the Gaithers. He is the longest-running band leader in a Christian music TV series in history. For a decade he has been raising funds to help his hometown. This year's event is 6pmCT on Saturday, April 27, 2024.

Williams says he is so grateful for how Russell County comes together for this cause.


This years celebration concert event will be at the Russell Springs First Baptist Church Saturday, April 27th at 6:00pmCT. It's absolutely free and will feature some of the local musicians who influenced Williams, whom he holds in high regard such as Larry Beasley and the Crossroads Quartet.

Williams also brings in major musical talents every year. Past celebrities have included Grammy winner Russ Taff, Buddy Greene, Todd Suttles, and Wes Hampton among others.

This year, Williams brings with him from the Gaither tour, Michael Shade Rowsey, along with the award-winning pianist Matthew Holt. There will also be a community choir.

The concert will feature special guest and regular on the Gaither TV series, Angela Primm. Primm, an internationally-known musical artist who has worked with legends such as Dolly Parton and Brooks & Dunn, says she understands the needs of the children and is delighted to be a part of what Russell County is doing.

All donations are tax-deductible and may be accepted at most businesses or by calling First Baptist at 270-866-6495.

Doors open at 5:00pmCT on Saturday, April 27th for the concert.
