CH & JH

 Chris Holder & Journey Home is combination of talented individuals each bringing their  own unique musical styles together to form one of the most diverse Gospel Groups traveling today.  All members of the group grew up in Southwest Virginia and Northeast Tennessee with  vast musical backgrounds,  but are honored to travel this country to spread the Gospel of Christ thru song and testimony.   The group has had 2 radio singles and both have hit the National Radio charts. His Unseen Hand which is an original song written by Chris and Mike was the first single which topped on the Country Gospel and Southern Gospel charts @ # 45.  Welcome Home a song written by Billy Fields was the 2nd radio single  that the group released and is currently on the National Charts , and is the bands first top 40 song topping out at # 25 in the Nation. The 3rd release What A Prayer Can Do written by Mike Upright  is set to hit radio very soon!  The band has been featured in top Gospel Magazines such as The Christian Voice Magazine and was on the cover of the October 2019 issue.   We are a Live Band and travel all across the US singing concerts at Churches, Fairs, and other Concert settings. The Band was also named Band of the year during the 2019 Gospel Music Fanfair awards presented by the Christian Voice Magazine, where they where nominated with our Nationally known groups such as The Singing Cookes and The Freemans to name a few. Our goal is to help everyone covert their life to the Lord by obeying the Spirit. We don't play from a set list, or an itinerary, we hand it over to the Lord and let Him be in charge.
