Church worship teams and choirs will join the band on each of the eleven tour stops and take part in the musical line up for the evening.
The tour will feature music from 33Miles’ debut Christmas release titled Believe that is available exclusively at Family Christian Stores this holiday season. The band’s third studio album was produced by Nathan Nockels (Passion, Point of Grace, Phillips, Craig & Dean) and includes traditional favorites like “O Holy Night,” “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” and “O Come, O Come Emmanuel,” along with several original songs including “Finally Christmas” and “I Could Not Come To You.” In addition, “Finally Christmas” and the classic “Joy to the World” will be released to radio during the holidays.
“Christmas is my absolute favorite time of year,” says 33Miles’ Jason Barton. “There’s something so beautiful about how the God of the universe stepped off of His throne and came to earth in the form of a baby. The King of all Kings became a servant. It’s humbling to know that God loves us that much. We’re excited and privileged to share that message of love this Christmas season on the ‘Believe’ tour with our friend Jonny Diaz.”
The “Believe” concerts arrive directly after the band’s first headlining tour, which included multiple sold out shows. The “One Life” tour visited 20 cities earlier this fall. For a full list of tour dates, visit www.33milesonline.com/tour
