The How Great Is Our God Tour concludes 23 March in St. Louis after traversing the US into cities such as San Jose, Las Vegas, Dallas, Houston, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Chicago, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Birmingham, Atlanta, Orlando and more.
The tour name was derived from the tour’s focus and from the 2006 GMA Song and Worship Song of the Year, “How Great Is Our God,” written by Tomlin and featured on his RIAA certified Gold-selling album, Arriving. As one of the fastest rising songs in the church, it went No. 1 on the Song Select Advanced chart last month, becoming the most downloaded of any digital products offered by CCLI to the 51,000 participating churches.
“‘How great is our God’ is not just a title of a song, or a name for a tour,” says Tomlin. “Instead the simple phrases ‘sing with me and all will see’ is the heartbeat of the tour - every night, a room filled with people seeing and singing of the greatness of God. I am so honored this year to share that night with good friends, Louie Giglio and Matt Redman.”
This month Tomlin received his first and second GRAMMY nominations for the 49th Annual GRAMMY Awards. Announced December 7 by The Recording Academy, Tomlin was given nods for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album for See The Morning, his No. 1 selling, critically acclaimed album that released September 26, and Best Gospel Performance for “Made to Worship,” his current, record breaking single that has topped Christian radio charts for three consecutive months.
Meanwhile, popular worship artist Matt Redman prepares to release his highly anticipated new album Beautiful News, and will make various stops both in the UK and US prior to and following the release.
Redman will hit the London Shepherds Bush Empire 15 December for a collaborated Christmas concert with legendary rock band Delirious?.
In addition, he will lead praise at the popular US-based Passion07 conference 1-4 January alongside Chris Tomlin and Charlie Hall, among others.
