Joined by opening acts Phil Wickham and The Myriad, David Crowder*Band’s “Remedy Club Tour” kicked off in New Orleans. Having already sold out four of the shows, the tour will additionally visit many major markets. The tour will play a distinguished list of venues, including 19 which were ranked among POLLSTAR’s Top 100 Worldwide Theatre Venues and Top 100 Worldwide Club Venues, according to a recently published mid-year report.

“We’ve been really intentional about what kind of space we wanted this music to enter into,” says David Crowder. “And for us, this tour presents opportunity to tear down walls that are drawn between what is sacred and what is secular, a chance to reorient space where corporate worship would be unexpected. If we are reading the gospel right, once the veil is ripped, God is everywhere. He is accessible in every space, and there’s not one moment that’s not a spiritual moment in our lives.”

Encouraging attendees to live out the message of Remedy, the tour will endeavour to connect fans in each city to multiple opportunities where they can serve their communities. With the assistance of Christian Community Development Association and local shelters, those who attend the show will be given the opportunity to bring with them towels and socks for the homeless, be challenged to develop ethical buying habits, and encouraged to invest energy in serving others in need in their area after the concert.

Crowder explains, “We don’t really think that songs can change the world… but people can. So, we want these songs to get into folks’ lives and inspire change. And at each tour stop, we’ll have ways that people can take this experience and put legs to it immediately.”

The band’s first studio recording since A Collision in 2005, Remedy is a continuation of its predecessor, offering ten accessible, pop-centric tracks that dive deep into the theology of worship. Produced by David Crowder*Band, the album addresses what it means to be part of the remedy in today’s ailing world, hoping to drive fans toward tangible action. In addition to impacting national audiences on tour, David Crowder*Band’s Remedy is also making an impression at radio, claiming the No. 4 position this week on Radio & Records’ AC Monitored chart, No. 3 on its AC Indicator chart as well as No. 18 on CHR with Everything Glorious.

After the David Crowder Band was voted MSN’s Artist of the Year 2006, MSN noted, “They’ve single-handedly redefined what contemporary Christian music should sound like…” The group’s last record, A Collision, was widely regarded as one of the best albums of 2005, receiving five-star reviews and comparisons to groundbreaking albums of the past and artists such as The Beatles, Bob Dylan and Hank Williams. The album debuted at No. 39 on the Billboard Top 200 and received GMA Music Dove Award honours for Best Rock/Contemporary Album and Best Rock/Contemporary Song (Here is Our King).
