Jeremy Rosado – The Feliz Navidad Tour

Abundant Love Worship Center, Tampa, FL – December 6, 2025

The opening night of Jeremy Rosado’s The Feliz Navidad Tour brought an atmosphere of warmth, celebration, and genuine community to the Abundant Love Worship Center in Tampa on December 6. The venue—slightly larger than the space used for his The Waiting Room album release concert—was beautifully dressed for Christmas, setting the tone before a single note was sung. From the moment VIP guests entered the room to the sound of upbeat Christmas music, it was clear this wasn’t just another seasonal event; it was an evening built with intention, purpose, and a whole lot of heart.

The VIP experience started strong with a relaxed and insightful Q&A session. Jeremy shared openly about his creative process, including how he knows when a song is truly ready to be released and the challenges he’s faced since music became not just a passion but his livelihood. He described songwriting as something anointed—something God has entrusted him to steward. Fans also got a first peek into a new album he’s currently working on, along with an early preview of a brand-new song titled “God Came Through for Me.” Jeremy also teased an upcoming post–Winter Jam tour with one of his close friends, an announcement still under wraps but already generating excitement. The Q&A wrapped with a fun game that perfectly balanced entertainment with connection.

Before the main show began, the audience was treated to a montage highlighting Jeremy’s journey on American Idol, The Voice, and the massive impact his social media presence has had in bringing his music to people around the world. For many in the room—especially longtime supporters—it was a striking reminder of how far he’s come.

For me personally, it hit even deeper. I’ve known Jeremy for over a decade, going back to just after his American Idol days when he was signed to an independent label I worked with. During those years, we spent time around the country at different events, including a memorable trip to SXSW in Texas—where we even ended up sharing a hotel room during the promotional run. Jeremy isn’t just an artist to me; he’s a friend and brother. Watching the growth God has brought into his life has been nothing short of a blessing.

The concert opened with “Silver Bells” before Jeremy launched into a joyful, high-energy performance of “Feliz Navidad,” a clear highlight of the night and the namesake of the tour. From there, he shifted smoothly into some of his own material, including “Glory to God,” “Still God,” and selections from The Waiting Room. Fans were treated to the Spanish-English hybrid version of “Nothing,” a crowd favorite that he also performed at his album release show.

Jeremy also hinted at a possible special appearance on an upcoming season of The Voice, encouraging everyone to stay tuned in the spring. This led into the story behind “Keep Holding On,” a song co-written by friends Jamie MacDonald and Bay Turner—two artists I’ve had the privilege of meeting in past travels with TCE.

One of the most moving moments of the evening came when Jeremy opened up about his sister Amy and the origins of “Hero in the Room.” He shared the emotional testimony of stepping in as a father figure to his niece—now his daughter—during a time when Amy was battling addiction. Though she has experienced breakthrough before, she is currently struggling again and in need of prayer. The rawness of this moment was palpable. “Hero in the Room” remains one of the most impactful prereleases in Christian music, and hearing the story again live brought a hush over the room.

After a Compassion International message and a brief intermission—during which Jeremy took a moment for photos and conversation with me, my wife, my daughter, and our new photographer—he returned for a final set that carried the same emotional depth and Christmas warmth. He performed “Tears of Joy,” took a few Christmas requests, and delivered a heartfelt tribute to his father with a song titled “My Son.” With both of his parents in the audience, the moment felt intimate and sacred, the kind of thing you only witness at a hometown show.

The night concluded with “Come and See,” a powerful invitation and one that personally struck me deeply given the season I’m walking through. It was the perfect closing chapter to an evening filled with testimony, talent, celebration, and God’s unmistakable presence.

Jeremy Rosado’s The Feliz Navidad Tour is more than a Christmas concert—it’s an experience rooted in story, sincerity, and the kind of joy only God can give. Whether on this tour, at Winter Jam, or in future dates, seeing Jeremy live is something I wholeheartedly recommend. His voice is exceptional, but his heart is what stays with you.
