KIM HILL, AND PHIL KEAGGY ON COMPASSION PARTERSHIP TOUR.
NOVEMBER-DECEMBER CONCERTS PLANNED
(Nashville, Tennessee) –September 21, 2006
-- In a year that has found Wayne Watson returning to major
visibility with an ambitious schedule of career commitments in
contemporary Christian music, Christmas will hold yet another special gift for
audiences.
The Home For Christmas
Tour, to be presented with ministry partner Compassion
International, will feature Wayne Watson along with fellow artists Kim
Hill and Phil Keaggy on a schedule of more than
a dozen dates between November 24th and December
16th.
“Christmas is a very special time to me. To
have the opportunity to be reaching audiences on a stage with both Kim Hill and
Phil Keaggy, as well as getting to deliver the timely message of Compassion
sponsorship, is all I need in the way of a gift this year,” noted Watson.
The tour will encompass church and auditorium
settings with exact details on dates and venues currently being finalized, noted
Andrew Patton of Patton House Entertainment , producer of the concert
series with Compassion.
“Compassion is committed to this tour as a
major element of our 2006 Christmas outreach with live concert sponsorships,”
noted the organization’s Artist Relations spokesman, Spence Smith, who was
instrumental in this year bringing Watson into the Compassion family of
artists. “This tour is a perfect partnership of artists and timing
in getting the message out there.”
A multi-Dove and Grammy nominated artist with
23 #1 Christian radio singles to his credit, Wayne Watson has
been recognized as a cornerstone artist in contemporary Christian music since
breaking into national attention in 1980. Acclaimed as a songwriter of
remarkable depth and relevancy, Watson recently re-launched a full-time
commitment to his music career. He recently returned from a
Compassion mission tour to Bolivia.
Kim Hill is also a multi-Dove
winner and Grammy nominee whose distinctive voice has successfully crossed
genres from Christian rock to worship, establishing her as an essential artist,
singer, and songwriter whose depth of ministry in music has touched
millions. Her recently released, critically acclaimed Christmas
album, Real Christmas is expected to provide a central background to
her featured set on the tour.
Legendary guitarist, Grammy nominee and
multi-Dove winner Phil Keaggy has a career spanning more than
30 years and 50 solo album releases. Co-founder of the 70’s power
group, Glass Harp, his unique career has
merged the influences of rock, blues and jazz with the technologies of
electronic “looping,” to create a signature guitar sound that has
become a Keaggy trademark.
Compassion International exists as a Christian
child’s advocacy ministry that releases children from spiritual, economic,
social and physical poverty through Christian training and sponsorship.
Compassion is currently assisting more than 770,000 children in more than 20
countries around the world.
Exact scheduling of cities and venues to be
reached by the Home For Christmas Tour are expected to be announced
within the next two weeks.
The Home For Christmas Tour is being
booked by Street Level Artists Agency. For booking/routing information and tour
