Gordon Mote

Gospel Music Association Dove Award nominee and Christian country artist Gordon Mote is coming back to his hometown of Gadsden.  Mote has been nominated for country song of the year with “Ain’t It Just Like The Lord. 

The Dove Awards will be presented Tuesday in Nashville .

Mote will be in Gadsden from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Oct. 17 at the Gadsden City High School Auditorium for a performance with the Gadsden Symphony Orchestra.

Mote said his fan base reaches a broad base. “It’s a really great cross-section,” he said. “It’s not just the older people who follow the Gaithers.”

Mote plays piano for the Gaither Homecoming concerts.

For the concert with the symphony orchestra, he’ll be focusing on his new release, “Hymns and Songs of Inspiration,” which takes its title from a local radio show.

Mote said “WGAD featured ‘Songs of Inspiration’ for over 50 years, and It’s been a mainstay of Gadsden Sunday morning radio.”

The album features older, traditional hymns, along with a new song, “Only Jesus Can Heal This Hurting World.”
