Examines songwriters Bill and Gloria Gaither's “Homecoming†video and concert series - a gospel music franchise that, since its beginning in 1991, has outperformed all Christian and much secular popular music on the American music market. Harper reveals how the Gaithers negotiate a tension between traditional and changing community norms as they seek to maintain and expand their audience.
