Hey RocSpace! Good to see ya again.This past weekend, some of the greatest names in gospel music descended upon NYC for two events-- the Central Park Summer Stage concert and the annual McDonald's GospelFest. The Summer Stage event featured Ruben Studdard, Byron Cage, Smokie Norful and Tye Tribbett at an outdoor concert in the middle of NYC's Central Park. It was raining a bit, but it was AWESOME. Some true praisers and worshippers endured the raindrops and had a great time. (By the way, Byron Cage sang a track from his upcoming album, "Faithful To Believe," and... WOWWW!)
Then, just across the water at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ, the McDonald's GospelFest featured Patti LaBelle, Donnie McClurkin, Hezekiah Walker, Vickie Winans, J Moss, CeCe Winans, Regina Belle, Cissy Houston... sounds like a lot, right?! The backstage area had even MORE artists kickin' it-- Melinda Watts, Jason Nelson, Jerard Woods, Duawne Starling... it was bananas! Great music all day, and it was great to see so many artists glorifying God and ministering to His people.
Israel Houghton has just launched a contest in which the grand prize winner (and a guest) will receive a FREE TRIP (airfare, hotel, ground transportation and conference registration) for his popular Deeper Level Worship Conference. The winner's worship leader (and a guest) will also be flown to the event. Visit http://www.youtube.com/
Do you have Just Love, the debut album from Brian Courtney Wilson, yet? You may wanna get on board! Dude had so many album sells in his first week, he charted at #2 on Billboard's gospel chart and #6 on the Christian chart. He's got a bunch of promo dates lined up, so visit his website at http://www.
Finally, BET is gearing up for new tapings of the hit show, Bobby Jones Gospel, and YOU can attend! If you're gonna be in the Washington, DC area at the end of July, visit http://blogs.bet.com/ontv/
OKAY, that was a mouthful. Do y'all feel sufficiently "updated" yet?! 'Til next week...
