As the momentum continues, Redman will also be playing new music from Beautiful News on the “How Great Is Our God Tour” launching Jan. 25th with label-mate Chris Tomlin and Passion founder Louie Giglio.
“One of the things which makes the ‘How great is our God’ tour special is the team dynamic,” says Redman. “Chris, Louie and I have shared so much life and vision together over the last few years. We’ve written songs together, we’ve traveled to different countries together; and as close friends we’ve dreamed about reaching a generation for the glory of God. Chris’ new tour is the next step on that exciting journey, and I’m absolutely delighted to be part of it.”
