The Bonnerfide Radio Anniversary Party took place on Friday January 13th, 2012 at the Limelight Entertainment Venue in Nashville, Tennessee.

The Bonnerfide Radio gathering has been known to highlight some of Gospel music's hottest independent and major artists. It is a great platform for up and coming artists because so many people pass through the event at some point on that night. This year proved to provide the same and more.

Michelle Williams, Jessica Reedy, Jawn Murray, and Fred Hammond were in the building along with many other industry notables. A few Gospel artists guest hosted with Gerard Bonner for the event. The guest hosts included: Dewayne Woods, Ted Winn, Y'Anna Crawley, and Myron Butler.

There were a host of performances and a surprise performance by John P.Kee & his singers. John P. Kee was a wonderful surprise and so many of those in attendance were at the front of the stage singing every word to some of his most beloved songs like "Oh How Wondrous", "Jesus Is Real", and more. John P. Kee also performed a tailor made song for the event's creator, Gerard Bonner. It was a nice touch to a great night.

Some of the standout performances of the night came from: JJ Hairston who was backed by up and coming group Charles Butler & Trinity, B.Reith, Tonya Baker, Isaac Carree, Kierra Sheard, G.Scott & Co., Freddy Washington, Denise & Doobie Powell, with J.Drew Sheard, and Deonis. Some other artists that performed include: Sheba, PRO & Jai, and Algernon Johnson. It was a great event that highlighted diversity in music and sounds incorporating major and independent artists from different genres within God inspired music.
