David Crowder Band, Sparrow/sixstepsrecords’ biggest selling debut artist ever, will be the featured artist on the August leg of the Worship Together CityWide Tour.

Debuting the Worship Together CityWide Tour last spring on the West Coast and in Canada, the events met with critical and popular acclaim. The August leg of the tour moves East and South, hitting 11 major markets: Philadelphia (8/9), Cincinnati (8/10), Indianapolis (8/11), Grand Rapids, MI (8/12), Minneapolis (8/13), Chicago (8/15), Kansas City (8/16), Dallas (8/17), Houston (8/18), New Orleans (8/19) and Orlando, FL (8/20).

The tour is an extension of Worship Together, the highly respected worship resource web site and modern worship label marketed and distributed by Sparrow Records. The mission of Worship Together events is to resource, train and inspire those who lead or influence worship in their local churches. Featuring dynamic guest worship leaders and speakers, the tour will offer attendees Worship Together’s trademark resources of experienced seminar training and soul-encouraging modern worship.

In addition to the David Crowder Band’s performance, one seminar, entitled the “New Song Café,” will be led by David Crowder. Crowder will teach attendees new songs while taking the audience step-by-step through the process of creating some of the most current material from his critically acclaimed recording, Can You Hear Us?.

The August leg of the tour will also feature Jason Halbert (producer of SONICFLOOd, Tim Hughes, Matt Redman) and pastor/worship leader David Ruis with new Sparrow artist and DJ, Andy Hunter, and Floodgate Records worship artist, Rita Springer, both returning to the line-up from last spring.
