ABOUT BIG DADDY WEAVE: Known for honest songs that tell personal stories of freedom in Christ, Big Daddy Weave has long been admired for their real-life, real-person openness. With songs like “Redeemed,” “God Is In This Story,” “Heaven Changes Everything,” “My Story,” “The Lion and the Lamb,” “Overwhelmed,” and “Let It Begin,” Big Daddy Weave has become one of the most beloved bands in Christian music. Millions have taken their anthems of the chain-breaking love of Jesus as their own and sung along to songs about the radical act of redemption. The band’s openness to go through whatever doors God opens for them has kept them going since their early days as students at the University of Mobile. Big Daddy Weave’s testimony is about a deep and personal faith in Jesus, no matter the circumstances. A mainstay on radio, the band has achieved multiple No. 1 singles. RIAA Platinum-certified “Redeemed” became an anthem of unprecedented impact when it spent 11 weeks at No. 1, was dubbed “Song of the Year” at the first annual K-LOVE Fan Awards, and earned Dove Award and Billboard Music Award nominations. Their follow-up hit, “The Lion and The Lamb,” has become one of the genre’s most-streamed songs. Big Daddy Weave members are Mike Weaver (lead vocals, guitar), Jeremy Redmon (guitar, vocals), Joe Shirk (saxophone, keys, vocals), Brian Beihl (drums), and Raul Alfonso (bass). They have amassed over one billion career streams and received numerous honors, including a Dove Award, ASCAP and BMI Awards, and the prestigious Rich Mullins Artist Impact Award, among others.

ABOUT HANNAH KERR: Curb Records recording artist/songwriter Hannah Kerr has been on Christian radio since she was eighteen, producing radio hits like “Warrior,” “Split The Sea,” and “Same God,” and amassing over 146 million career streams. Now having walked through formative seasons of life like earning a degree in Christian leadership and marrying her husband Jason, Hannah is creating new music for a new time with her single Changed and more from her forthcoming album As I Am releasing in August 2024.

The new music comes from a place of discovery. “It’s taken me a long time to realize that God isn’t going to ever give up on me. He’s so patient with my brokenness and so loving even when I don’t feel lovable.” Kerr, who has toured with fellow Christian artists like for KING + COUNTRY, Casting Crowns, Big Daddy Weave, Matthew West, Matt Maher, and Kari Jobe, brings this revelation to audiences wherever she plays, inviting people into relationship with the One who loves them.

ABOUT THE YOUNG ESCAPE: The four siblings known as The Young Escape started their musical journey together as teens and pre-teens in Riverside, CA. They booked their tours up and down the California coast before making their first recordings while still teens. The results were No.1 radio hits like the anthem “Good Life” and the declaration “Love Me Like You” which led to touring across the country on tours with artists like Crowder and Big Daddy Weave.

Ryan Johns (lead guitar), McKenna Johns (lead vocals, keys, guitar), Kyrsten Johns (bass), and Luke Johns (drums), create music that speaks from a deeper place, with live performances that resonate with heart, joy, and energy, all focused on pointing the spotlight toward the One who brings life, the One who calls us to escape from whatever is holding us down, and to find the child within us born to follow Him.
