Gene McDonald Music

Biography

Gene McDonald
The Man Himself

Gene McDonald began singing early in life, singing tenor with his family. Which included his dad, mother and his sister, traveling across the Midwest from 1968 to 1980. He went on to sing with Jack Campbell and the Ambassadors. In 1982 that tenor voice changed to flourishing bass. While at Arkansas State University, he studied under one of the leading choral directors in the nation, Al Skoog. He later went to Been Speer school of Music.

In 1989, Gene began singing with the Plainsmen Quartet and toured with them until 1992. He later went on to sing and record hits with the Florida Boys, touring from 1998 to 2007. Gaither Productions invited Gene to join the Homecoming Family for his first taping in 1994. He currently still travels with the Homecoming Friends, across the globe.

Gene has a great gift and one of the richest voices ever heard. Noted by Bill Gaither as the Dean of all Bass’, Gene is held at high esteem for being the best in the circuit. However, he is MORE than just the best Bass singer. He does have the most prominent Bass voice, but he is by far, one of the “best singers” to ever brace the stage. God has given this man a great gift, a great talent, not just to be able to sing bass but to be able to sing period. To sing anything! He stands tall among the greats in Gospel Music.
To be able to make such an impact on people, through what you do, has to carry Gods anointing. Gene’s song, If We Love Them stands as a true statement, in what ever he sings. Be it tenor or Bass! The compassion that flows through the song, leads others to the realm of worship and awesome presence of a loving God.


Gene gets home as much as possible to his biggest support group, to his beautiful wife, Teri and son Nathan. They are a family full of love for one another and for all who know and love them back.

As stated in an earlier fact, Gene still travels with Gaither Homecoming and the Vocal Band, but when they are not on the road, he has also been doing his own solo tour. See website scheduling for more details.
