Arden, North Carolina (January 24, 2025) — As they write another chapter in a long-running Southern Gospel musical story, McKamey Legacy — that’s the daughter of Southern Gospel’s beloved McKameys, Connie Fortner, her husband Roger, and their son Elijah Fortner — are serving up another new song for fans impatient to hear more of the vintage McKameys sound in its next-generation garb. Like its predecessor, “A Burden and the Bible,” the Horizon Records release, “I’m Holding to Truth,” wraps a heartfelt testimony in the vein of the legendary family’s decades of hits.

With help from Jared Easter (dobro) and pianist Tylar Vestal, McKamey Legacy establishes a classic feel from the start, accentuating the song’s outlines before Eli Fortner begins an impassioned reading of songwriter Darren Lore’s first verse:

I made a choice, one glorious day, to follow the Savior 
I joined the journey, with my heart set, on the Heavenly prize

In a move at once familiar and exciting, the trio takes a sudden turn into a new key at the start of the second chorus, bringing Connie Fortner’s voice to the fore for the remainder of the song:

I’m holding to Truth, in these last days
God’s Word never changes. 
I’m finding faith, on every page, written by grace 
I’m safe and secure on the Rock
That cannot be moved.
I’m building upon a sure foundation
I’m holding to Truth.

‘I'm Holding To Truth’ is a song that reminds us that God’s Word is the truth,” notes Connie Fortner. “God has never changed what is right or what is wrong. It still holds true today. We need to hold on to God’s Word and don’t compromise. God communicates with us through His Word and leads us on our journey. Hold on to the truth of His Word.”

About McKamey Legacy
McKamey Legacy is a family trio from Clinton, Tennessee that came to be after 39 years of full-time touring with the rest of their family, The McKameys. After that group retired in 2019, and after much prayer, group members Connie Fortner (Ruben and Peg’s daughter), her husband, Roger Fortner and their son, Elijah Fortner felt the call from God to continue the legacy of their family and they began traveling and singing again in 2021 as McKamey Legacy. The group will be touring on a part-time basis, performing songs that were loved and most requested from their McKamey days as well as some new songs that fit their message. Sharing the Gospel in song to a lost world and sharing the message of hope to discouraged Christians is their goal, following God in everything that they do and bringing Glory to God in all things done by them.
