Andrew Peterson (NASHVILLE, TN) October 24, 2007—Prolific singer/songwriter Andrew Peterson is set to take his popular Christmas concert on the road with friends and special guests Sara Groves, Bebo Norman, Jill Phillips, Andy Gullahorn, Andrew Osenga, Garett Buell, Cason Cooley, Marcus Myers, Gabe Scott and Ben Shive for his annual Christmas tour, which features Peterson’s acclaimed Christmas musical Behold The Lamb Of God: The True Tall Tale of the Coming of Christ. The tour begins November 27th in Elkhorn, NE, which will mark the 8th year that Peterson and friends have taken their Christmas concert on the road.

Eight years ago, Peterson composed his musical rendition of the Christmas story to remind people of the holiday’s true significance. Since then, he and a small band have performed the songs each holiday season to sold-out crowds nationwide, as well as a highlighted performance in Peterson’s hometown of Nashville, TN at the famed Ryman Auditorium. Past events have featured such artists as Alison Krauss, Phil Keaggy, Mindy Smith, Pierce Pettis, Matt Slocum and members of Nickel Creek, who have joined Peterson for an in-the-round segment of original material before gathering on stage to perform his musical, Behold the Lamb of God: The True Tall Tale of the Coming of Christ.

Responding to demand from fans of his Christmas concert, in 2004, Peterson recorded the songs on an album titled Behold the Lamb of God.

“It's a pretty different approach to an album,” Peterson explains. “I don't know of any Christian albums like it in that it's a concept album with a story-telling style. My foremost concern was with accurately conveying the story of Christ’s birth, and doing it as artfully as possible.”

Peterson has long been known for his intricate songwriting and transparent candor on stage, often drawing comparisons to predecessor Rich Mullins. While signed to Watershed/Essential Records from 1999 to early 2004, Peterson recorded three national releases including his award-winning Carried Along, which featured the top ten radio single, “Nothing to Say.” His latest project, The Far Country released in August of 2005. Peterson is also set to release his new album Resurrection Letters in the spring of 2008.
