The Kingdom Heirs perform multiple shows daily at Dollywood during the months that the park is open. While the park is closed, they tour just like any other group. The group has been at the park since 1981, when it was known as Silver Dollar City. It is estimated that they sing to over 2 million people each year - more than any other Southern Gospel group.

The Kingdom Heirs have had 3 songs - "That's Why I Love To Call His Name," "I Know I'm Going There," and "Forever Changed" - reach #1 on the Singing News magazine charts.
