Gatlin Brothers

Larry Gatlin & the Gatlin Brothers will embark on a celebratory tour of the country for their 60th Anniversary of performing together. As children, the sibling trio honed their harmonies, and after college, they began a successful run at music as a business. After a string of number one singles, induction into the Grand Ole Opry, and countless award nominations and wins, the trio have decided to slow down and enjoy life with family a bit.

"We're not calling it a farewell or a final tour," explained Larry Gatlin. "We're calling it the '60th Anniversary Celebration.' By no means are we retiring, but after this tour, we are going to slow down a little bit. There are other priorities in life. I have two granddaughters. Brother Steve has seven grandchildren, and Rudy has two kids. We still love the fans and the road, and we still love to sing, but we want to spend more quality time with our families. We're not cutting back because we can't draw a crowd or that we can't sing anymore. Today, we sound just like we did 40 years ago ... pretty dad-burn good. We're not being run out of business. We're not going broke. We're not down to bread and milk money. We just think it's time to do some other things, slow down a little bit, and do it with class and dignity - on our own terms. We are grateful to God for our fabulous run, and we can't wait to see what else He has in store."

In fact, the trio is taking on a new project and releasing a new Gospel album on Curb Records in conjunction with their tour. "Larry Gatlin & the Gatlin Brothers 60th Anniversary Celebration" will be available later this year. Tour dates kicked off on Friday, February 6th in Harrington, DE and will run through Saturday, November 14th in Highland Springs, VA.
