Festival of Praise concert tour will feature Fred Hammond and Donnie McClurkin

fred hammondDALLAS Two of the most recognized men in Gospel music today are teaming up for a fall concert tour that will excite fans across the country.  From September 22 through November 2, the Festival of Praise tour, featuring Fred Hammond and Donnie McClurkin will cross the country, promising to spread the message of God’s love.

Both Hammond and McClurkin are Grammy Awards, Stellar Awards and Dove Awards winners with songs commonly heard in the church and on the radio.  Hammond’s best-known gospel hits include, “Blessed,” “No Weapon,” and “Celebrate (He Lives.).”  McClurkin’s crowd favorites are “Stand,” and “We Fall Down,” a song that made the Top 40 of Billboard’s R&B chart and rocketed past platinum sales of over one million copies.

Hammond has entertained his fans for more than three decades.  In addition to his successful solo career, this singer/songwriter/producer/musician was a founding member of trendsetting sextet Commissioned and the creator of both Radical for Christ and United Tenors.  He’s also achieved success as an actor and producer of stage plays, TV shows and movies.

In addition to his musical endeavors, McClurkin pastors the Perfecting Faith Church in Freeport, New York and hosts the nationally syndicated radio program, The Donnie McClurkin Show.

From traditional gospel, praise and worship, to funk, acoustic rock and a cappella, this show is sure to be one music lovers, church lovers and Gospel music fans will be talking about for years to come.
