NASHVILLE, Tenn. (May 1, 2026) — Gaither Music Group announces the release of “Soul on Fire,” the latest single from DOVE Award-nominated musician, singer and songwriter Mike Rogers, available today on all streaming platforms. The track offers a powerful preview of Rogers’ forthcoming self-titled album, Mike Rogers, arriving May 29, 2026 on CD and DVD.

Featuring guest vocals from Mac Powell (Third Day) and The Isaacs, “Soul on Fire” stands as one of the most dynamic moments on the project, blending Rogers’ bluegrass roots with a more contemporary gospel energy. The performance highlights the collaborative spirit that defines the album, bringing together artists who have shared the stage and studio with Rogers throughout his career.

Watch a preview here:

Best known in Nashville and throughout the country, gospel and bluegrass communities for his musicianship, Rogers has spent years as a trusted presence onstage and in the studio. After launching his career as a drummer, he moved to Nashville to perform with country artist Craig Morgan before joining bluegrass legend Doyle Lawson’s Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, where he stepped to the front of the stage playing acoustic guitar and singing lead.

In recent years, Rogers has become a member of Ricky Skaggs’ Kentucky Thunder as well as the acclaimed quartet Brothers of the Heart, alongside Jimmy Fortune, Bradley Walker and Ben Isaacs. His solo debut marks a natural next chapter, showcasing the tenor voice and interpretive depth that have long made him a standout among his peers.

Produced by award-winning artist and producer Ben Isaacs, Mike Rogers wraps Rogers’ signature sound around a collection of Gospel standards and Country favorites that have shaped his decades-long journey. The project blends reverence for tradition with a fresh, personal delivery that reflects both his roots and his range.

“‘Soul on Fire’ is one of those songs that just hits you right away,” says Rogers. “It’s got that energy, but it’s also rooted in something real. Getting to sing it with Mac and The Isaacs made it even more special, because these are people I’ve looked up to and worked alongside for years. This whole record is a reflection of that journey, including the songs that shaped me, the people who’ve been part of it, and the kind of music I’ve always wanted to make.”

The album features a wide-ranging lineup of collaborators, including Bill Gaither, Vince Gill, Ricky Skaggs, Jimmy Fortune, Emily Ann Roberts and Sharon White, among others, underscoring the depth of Rogers’ musical relationships and the respect he has earned across the genre.

The companion DVD captures Rogers live in concert, featuring performances and collaborations with many of the artists who appear on the album, highlighting the camaraderie and musical connection that define the project.

The television special will air on TBN, RFD-TV, The Word Network, Vision, TCT, The Walk TV, TLN, Hope TV, The Miracle Channel, CTS, CTN, and Heartland the weekend of May 29th. Tune in times are located on the website here. A radio special will premiere on SiriusXM Radio, and songs from the project will also be featured on Bill Gaither’s SiriusXM enLighten channel (Channel 150).

The full-length project, hosted by Mark Lowry, will also be available to stream at Gaither TV+ or purchase the DVD and CD at Gaither.com. Purchase or stream the project  here.
