Christian music fans in Abbotsford have the opportunity to see a little bit of music history.
Superstars Michael W. Smith and Steven Curtis Chapman are performing together for the first time on The United Tour which stops in at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre on July 26.
With both artists being tour and festival headliners for years, seeing them on the same stage is truly a landmark occasion.
Smith has been captivating concert-goers since the 1980s as one of Christian music’s pioneering artists with dozens of radio and worship hits to his name.
Chapman is in the same league, being an audience favorite with continual acclaim in album sales and radio singles.
Combined, the two artists boast eight Grammys and a staggering 86 Dove Awards in their collective careers.
The Abbotsford show will be the only Canadian performance of this tour.
Canadian recording artist, songwriter and producer Brian Doerksen will be the evening’s special guest.
Doerksen has always had a passion for expressing worship through music. His songs include Come, Now is the Time to Worship, Faithful One, Refiner’s Fire, Hope of the Nations, Today, and Holy God.
The concert is set for Sunday, July 26 at 6 p.m. (doors open at 5 p.m.).
