New Music Video For “I Will Hold You In My Heart” Featuring

Brooke Spencer & Sarah Holbrook Out Now

NASHVILLE, TN (February 25, 2026)…Multi-award-winning producer and songwriter Brent Maher will bring selections from his acclaimed audiobook, Night of the Orphan Train: A Musical Novel, to the nationally syndicated WoodSongs Old-Time Radio Hour on Monday, March 2 at 7 p.m. ET. Watch the broadcast live here or on RFD TV.

Maher will be joined by an all-star lineup including Grammy award-winning Bluegrass artist Trey Hensley, vocalist Brooke Spencer, Meagan Taylor and the Kiddos, and acclaimed multi-instrumentalist Fats Kaplin. The evening promises an intimate and powerful showcase of the music that drives Night of the Orphan Train, a story inspired by the true Orphan Train Movement that relocated more than 250,000 children across America between 1854 and 1929.

In addition to the live performance, the moving new music video for “I Will Hold You In My Heart,” a tender duet featuring Brooke Spencer and Sarah Holbrook, has just been released. “I Will Hold You In My Heart” is one of the standout tracks from the 20-song soundtrack accompanying the musical novel. It captures the emotional core of the story, one of devotion, separation, and the enduring promise of love in uncertain times.

Night of the Orphan Train – A Musical Novel, published by One Audio Books, continues to build momentum across radio and digital platforms, and is available on Amazon, Audible, Barnes & Noble and other digital retailers.
