When the Gaither Homecoming video series exploded in popularity in the 1990s, Lowry had a prominent platform for his creative output. Bill Gaither became the straight man for his comedy. Lowry was regularly featured on solos with the Vocal Band, and developed close friendships with a number of the legends that appeared on the series including J. D. Sumner, Howard and Vestal Goodman, Jake Hess, and others.

During the 1990s, Lowry was quick to take advantage of the then emerging Internet. He launched his own website where he developed a personal connection with fans (which he came to call “reMarkables”) and also published an email newsletter he titled “reMarks.” During the same time period, Lowry wrote a series of children’s books featuring a hyperactive mouse named Piper and hosted a television talk show with Kathy Troccolli. In addition to touring with the Gaither Vocal Band, Lowry did a number of concert tours to support his comedy releases on the Word label. He ultimately moved to the Spring House label in 1998 to release But Seriously , a recording that had no spoken comedy and very little musical comedy.

In 2001, Lowry left the Gaither Vocal Band, but continued to maintain close ties with the Homecoming video series. A two-volume set of videos called The Best Of Mark and Bill was released in 2004. He has four videos that are certified Gold (50,000 units) and two that have reached the Platinum level (100,000 units). Lowry’s tours in recent years are typically booked through one concert promoter and featured a select cast of performers such as Stan Whitmire, Lordsong, and the McCraes .
