Chris Tomlin (NASHVILLE, Tenn.) Oct. 23, 2007—ASCAP Songwriter of the Year and the Gospel Music Association’s Artist of the Year, worship leader Chris Tomlin extends his highly successful “How Great Is Our God Tour” to include an additional 14 dates this fall. Speaker and author Louie Giglio again joins Tomlin, who will introduce a special tour edition of See The Morning with bonus material on Oct. 23.

Ranked among Pollstar’s Top 100 Worldwide Tours, according to a 2007 mid-year report, the “How Great Is Our God Tour” was one of the hottest tickets last spring, selling out 20 events. Back by popular demand, Tomlin and Giglio reconvened earlier this month for another 14 cities through November. Again, the tour will assemble thousands nationwide, inviting them to experience the greatness of God through its music and message.

Tomlin reflects on this opportunity, “What a joy to be able to tour again this fall with a great friend and gifted speaker, Louie Giglio. I feel like what God has given us the opportunity to do together is a pretty special thing, and we go with huge expectations and excitement. We long to see God do some unbelievable things in our lives and the people who attend this tour.”

As a special offering to fans of the “How Great Is Our God Tour” Tomlin will release a bonus tour edition of his 2006 project, See The Morning, Oct. 23. In addition to the original album, this new package will include a DVD featuring live music videos recorded on tour last spring of “Let God Arise,” “How Can I Keep From Singing,” “How Great Is Our God” as well as Tomlin’s current radio single “Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone),” presently at No. 2 on Radio & Records Christian Adult Contemporary Monitored chart. It will also incorporate Giglio’s “How Great Is Our God” tour message, which reminds fellow worshipers that the same God who spoke the universe into existence created each of us and knows our circumstances. The talk reminds listeners that although their life’s journey may be complicated and painful, God promises to preserve and restore us.

With five records, five No. 1 radio singles, two GRAMMY nominations, 12 Dove Awards, and one gold album to his credit, Chris Tomlin is among the most well-known and influential artists in contemporary Christian music. Referred to by Time Magazine as “the most often sung artist anywhere,” Tomlin has 17 Top 500 CCLI songs with five in the top 25. ASCAP’s 2007 Songwriter of the Year, Tomlin’s “How Great Is Our God” was his first No. 1 on the CCLI Top 25. The award- winning song moved to No. 1 after becoming one of the fasting rising modern day hymns in CCLI chart history. Tomlin is also the reigning Gospel Music Association Artist of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year two years running. In 2007 he received nine Dove Award nominations to lead the field of artist nominees for the second consecutive year and was the most honored recipient with six awards.

In addition to serving at Austin Stone Community Church (Austin, TX), the church he co-founded, Tomlin most recently released, See The Morning, in 2006. The project has been widely praised by such noteworthy publications as Billboard, CCM, All Music Guide, Worship Leader and more. The album garnered Tomlin his first and second GRAMMY nominations for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album and Best Gospel Performance for “Made to Worship.” The record also debuted at No. 1 on the SoundScan® compiled Christian retail charts, landed Tomlin his highest Billboard Top 200 position ever at No. 15 with 47,420 units sold in its first week, and was named iTunes’ 2006 “Best Christian Album” of the year. He continues to tour many dates every year and plays regularly at Passion Conferences in the States and worldwide.
