A radio chart can introduce a song. The Derrick Loudermilk Band gives you a group to get to know behind it. Formed in 2018 in the Cincinnati Tri-State area, the band travels with live musicians and brings Southern Gospel and worship into churches and concert rooms.

The group’s official bio lists Derrick Loudermilk on lead vocals, Gina Loudermilk on bass, Zach Todd on lead guitar, and Jordan Blanton on drums. Together, they describe a ministry built around sharing the Gospel through music, song, and the Word. Their recordings give listeners one way in; their live band is an important part of who they are.

Three Fridays at the top

KNMG Radio placed “Back to Our Roots” at No. 1 on its Weekly Top 10 countdown dated February 13, February 20, and February 27, 2026. The song remained on that station’s list at No. 4 on March 6 and No. 6 on March 13. Those are KNMG weekly placements, and the three consecutive No. 1 weeks are a fine introduction to how the recording connected with that station’s listeners.

Where to start listening

“Back to Our Roots” appears on Healer Anyway, the band’s nine-song album released July 11, 2025. The record also includes “God of the Breakthrough,” “Mercy Came Running,” “More Than a Song,” and the title track. If the charting song catches your ear, the album is the natural next stop.

The band’s press kit also includes a short “Back to Our Roots” video, giving newcomers a look at the group alongside the studio recording. And for listeners who discovered them through “God of the Breakthrough,” there is more of the same band to explore here.

We’re glad to introduce The Derrick Loudermilk Band to Kingdom Chorus readers. Start with the song that spent three Fridays atop KNMG’s countdown, then follow the group to its own website for more music and the story behind the ministry.
