The Rock and Worship Road Show Tour is stopping in Pullman

The Rock and Worship Road Show Tour is making a stop in Pullman at Beasley Coliseum on Saturday, March 21.
 
The show will feature GRAMMY nominee and multi-platinum band MercyMe, award winning and multi-gold selling vocalist Jeremy Camp, Hawk Nelson, Tenth Avenue North and Addison Road.
 
Promoting the tour across the country, Rush Concert’s Cliff Reiser is excited about this tour, remarking, “Our goal is to fill arena’s around the country so people have the opportunity to hear the best artist’s in Christian music and a renewing message about Christ. The Rock and Worship Road Show features 5 amazing artists that share this same goal. Our dream has become a reality – providing the best entertainment and a meaningful message for a price that everyone can afford, just $10 at the door.”
 
With a $10 admission price, the “Rock & Worship Road Show” aims to be an event for fans of all ages, especially families.   In addition to bringing a night of exciting performances, the tour is also dedicated to a bigger purpose: helping kids with juvenile diabetes via “Imagine A Cure,” a non profit organization to support research that will lead to a cure.
 
“We are all living in a new world today, and an economy that is affecting everyone around us,” comments Bart Millard, lead singer for MercyMe.   “We all wanted to be able to bring some family-friendly and Christ-centered entertainment that will uplift people and not break the bank.  We are really excited to get out on the road with all of these acts.  It’s going to be a blast!”

While working on their latest release, the guys saw an opportunity to reach out and help others. Inspired by their single “One Little Miracle,” a campaign was birthed to reach out. Today, Hawk Nelson is partnering with TOMS shoes, Ronald McDonald Houses, and the Hands & Feet orphanage in Haiti encouraging all to be that “one little miracle” for someone else.

Tenth Avenue North:
With one listen to Tenth Avenue North’s unique brand of intellectual, melodic pop-rock, it becomes obvious that songwriter Mike Donehey and his bandmates have a gift for expressing truth in a way that simultaneously educates, enlightens and entertains. 
 
Tenth Avenue North, made up of members Mike Donehey (lead vocalist/acoustic guitar), Jason Jamison (drummer), Jeff Owen (electric guitar/background vocals) and Scott Sanders (bass guitar), broke ground on several fronts in 2008.  The band became the best selling new Christian artist, according Nielsen SoundScan, with nearly 60,000 in physical sales, and the only new artist to break the 100,000 digital download mark since the May 20 release of its debut album, Over and Underneath.  In addition, the band is the only new artist in 2008 to have claimed two No. 1 radio singles with, “Love is Here” and “By Your Side” both topping charts last year.

Addison Road:
Together for six years before signing with INO Records, the female-fronted pop/rock band from Dallas, TX, Addison Road, is making waves with their self-titled debut album that released last spring.   The first radio single “All That Matters,” peaked at No. 1 on the Christian CHR chart and was featured as an ITUNES discovery download in which it received over 165,000 downloads in one week. Recently, Addison Road was named the No. 2 “Most Played Artist on Christian CHR in 2008,” while their second single, “Sticking With You” peaked at No. 2 on CHR. 
 
Produced by Chris Stevens (TobyMac, Sanctus Real, Mandisa), this self-titled release is the culmination of the band’s mission to inspire people from all walks of life to find their hope and their identity in God, to be changed by His grace and to extend that grace to a world in need.  Lead singer Jenny Simmons, husband and guitarist Ryan Simmons, Jeff Sutton, Ryan Gregg and Travis Lawrence all came together in 2001 when some of the members were attending Baylor University and since then have been accumulating fans in all genres.
