The American Military Spouses Choir is a choir act from Season 8 of America's Got Talent.
Background
The American Military Spouses Choir (previously known as Homefire) has given a voice to American Military spouses through music. Their first single “The Promise” was commissioned by famed Producer David Foster and written by Charlie Midnight ("Living In America"), Jay Landers (head of A&R for Universal Music) and Bernie Herms (writer and producer for Natalie Grant).
The group came together after rigorous and quick casting at the request of Foster, who had a performance scheduled at the Kennedy Center and wanted to include a choir of Military Wives. Foster contacted CAMMO (The Center For Military Music Opportunities), and they quickly (within 2 weeks) answered the call with an exhaustive search. The day after they met - and with only one rehearsal - these spouses found themselves on the stage of the Kennedy Center with Jewel, Chaka Khan and Chris Botti as the finale to a star-studded show of David Foster and Friends.
Says Victor Hurtado, CAMMO Artistic Director, “this song is a spouse's lullaby, to make sense and remind our service members that, no matter what they may face, they are not alone. They are words that not only empower them, but are reflective of a life partner's words that soothe them in the rare moments of rest on the field of battle”. 1
