Premier Productions, Dante Bowe and Food for the Hungry announce the Worship Nights Tour. The tour will span eight cities and will see Bowe fresh off the What Are We Waiting For? Tour with For King & Country.

“I think this tour is going to be a special one because we’re going back to simple worship,” said Bowe. “We’re stripping away the smoke, lights and all the extra things we tend to use. Not that those things are bad, but these are going to be nights of remembrance. Remembrance of what Jesus has done and what He has yet to do.”

For his first solo headlining tour, Bowe is bringing along fellow Maverick City artist Aaron Moses and Hillsong’s Aodhan King.

Audiences can sign up for the exclusive pre-sale on Wednesday, May 18, at dantebowelive.com. Tickets go on sale to the public on Thursday, May 19th at 10:00 a.m. local time.

The eight-city summer tour will kick-off on August 13th in Minneapolis, MN and will stop in Columbus, OH, St. Louis, MO and Memphis, TN before the final show on August 21st in Lexington, KY.

On September 20th and 21st, two-time GRAMMY Award winner and multi-platinum selling artist Lauren Daigle will take the stage at Red Rocks Amphitheater for the first time in almost three years with two epic performances. The shows will feature Daigle’s extensive award-winning catalog for which she has become known and may include a preview of new music. Joining her on night one will be Crowder and Patrick Droney will join her on night two. Tickets go on sale Friday, May 13th at 10am local time. Registration will open Monday, May 9th at 10 am local time on www.laurendaigle.com for Lauren Daigle’s pre-sale which begins Wednesday, May 11th at 10am local time.

In what has become a full circle moment, Daigle took to the Jazz Fest Stage in New Orleans this past weekend for a sold-out hometown performance. During a massive highpoint of the show, Daigle was joined by special guest and fellow Louisianian Trombone Shorty for an electrifying rendition of The Meters’ “Hey Pocky A-Way.” She was then presented with a 5x Platinum RIAA certification for her smash hit “You Say” and Platinum Certifications for “First,” “Trust In You,” “How Can It Be,” “O’Lord,” and “Come Alive (Dry Bones)“ from her platinum certified debut album How Can It Be.

Since the release of her GRAMMY Award winning, platinum certified album Look Up Child, Lauren Daigle has carved a place for herself as the most formidable artist in her genre. After spending 100 weeks at No. 1, Look Up Child, holds the record for the greatest number of weeks at the top of any individual album chart. In addition, the GRAMMY Award winning crossover hit, “You Say,” became the longest-running No. 1 song of any genre on the weekly Billboard Hot charts at an incredible 132 weeks and has been certified 5x-platinum by the RIAA. Her latest single, “Hold On To Me,” marks her sixth No. 1 and extends her record of most number ones by a female artist on the chart. Daigle has earned seven Billboard Music Awards, five American Music Awards, secured two Guinness World Records, and sold-out concert venues all over the world.

Four GRAMMY Awards and seven GMA Dove Awards winner FOR KING + COUNTRY was recently featured on the Kelly Clarkson Show. The duo with their team performed “RELATE” off their new album “What Are We Waiting For?.” 

WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?, FOR KING + COUNTRY’s fourth studio project, features the talents of brothers Joel and Luke Smallbone, with 13 new original tracks that confront relevant issues and confirm the duo’s commitment to community, unity and family. Set against a sonic backdrop painted by the Platinum-selling group’s lush, vivid pop, the collection features cameos from Dante Bowe, Kirk Franklin and Tori Kelly, and includes barrier-breaking single “RELATE,” awe-inspiring “For God Is With Us” and unifying No. 1 hit “TOGETHER.”  “What Are We Waiting For? – The Tour” will take FOR KING + COUNTRY to arenas across the United States, performing brand new songs from its upcoming album for the first time, against the backdrop of an all-new stage design.

“The last two years have been very unique for all of us,” says Luke. “It’s been a strange time. Going through struggle, you end up asking yourself some interesting questions like ‘What am I doing with my life?,’ ‘What do I want to be known for?,’ ‘What am I living for?’ I think the phrase, What Are We Waiting For?, encompasses the meaning behind this album.”

Joel Smallbone adds, “The last few years have taken us from wondering what was happening, to worrying. This album was a way to look at and write about – from a family perspective, from a spiritual perspective, and from a global perspective – this global suffering that we’ve all walked through. Our hope is that this title means something slightly different to each of us. This album is an opportunity for us, together, to get moving together again into what we believe is a very bright future.”

CZAR Josh ends Black History Month by releasing a new track, “Black History Ain’t History.” The Phinestro-produced track is LoFi, Pro-Black, “edutainment” Black History Month themed song celebrating the accomplishments of Black Americans.

Black History Ain’t History showcases the rise of black women and black creatives in current times. CZAR Josh urges the listener to understand that “Black History isn’t history, it’s current events” as he dropped his first taste of music in 2022.

“I wanted to provide music that can uplift and educate people that look like me on Black History while also showing them that they are currently living in Black History. Black people are doing great things daily and that should be celebrated,” said CZAR Josh.

CZAR Josh has partnered with black-owned businesses, Blackwater Branding and Nappy Avenue, to highlight other black entrepreneurs over the course of the month. CZAR is also partnering with OpenSea to do a NFT shoe collection drop inspired by the song. He states,

“The concept behind the “Black History Ain’t History” NFT shoe collection is one that couples relevant Black American history figures and stories, with popular shoe culture, also largely popularized by Black culture.

Each individual NFT features a popular shoe in basketball and urbanwear culture, with a design that tells the story of a relevant figure or story in Black History that still affects today’s racial climate.”
