In support of the project, Greer recently appeared on FOX 4's Good Day Dallas, where he performed “Never Grow Old.”

With arrangements of 11 beloved hymns as well as Greer’s original, “I’ve Been Searching,” Angel Band features appearances from some of the top names in bluegrass and gospel music, including Sonya Isaacs, The McCrary Sisters, Ron Block (Alison Krauss; Union Station), Cindy Morgan, and Ginny Owens, among others.
