Nashville, Tenn. (January 21, 2014) – Five-time GRAMMY® winner and highly acclaimed singer-songwriter Steven Curtis Chapman, who was GRAMMY® nominated again this year for his No. 1 single “Love Take Me Over,” announces the spring leg of his very successful “The Glorious Unfolding Tour.”

The lineup for the second leg of the tour, which recorded nearly 20 sell-outs on the fall run, includes special guests The Afters and Josh Wilson. The tour continues Chapman’s support of his recent album release, The Glorious Unfolding and Show Hope, an organization at the forefront of the movement to care for orphans, returns as presenting tour sponsor.

“‘The Glorious Unfolding Tour’ has been an incredible experience so far!” said Steven Curtis Chapman. “But we didn’t get everywhere we wanted to take this new music, so we’re headed out again. I’m so honored to still be getting to do this and I look forward to seeing all of our friends that can make it out to the concerts.”

“Steven is a timeless professional with an incredible heart on and off stage. ‘The Glorious Unfolding Tour’ was one of the best tours of last year,” said Mike Alley, Director of 48Live Productions.

“If you’re a fan of anyone on the roster, The Glorious Unfolding Tour is a show you won’t want to let pass you by,” longtime industry tastemaker, John DiBiase raves. “Steven is still going strong musically and as a performer decades after getting his start, and the mix of new and classic SCC tunes in the same setting is just proof of it.”

Joining Steven is the energetic pop rock band, The Afters. The foursome brings a history of No. 1 hits, including their most recent chart topper, the infectious debut single, “Every Good Thing." The band’s second single, “Broken Hallelujah,” from their newest album, Life Is Beautiful, is already climbing the charts as well. Concertgoers will also enjoy Josh Wilson. The pop singer-songwriter’s latest release, Carry Me, features radio hits “Carry Me” and the newest single, “Pushing Back The Dark.” Wilson’s proficiency with multiple instruments and the honesty of his lyrics will delight crowds each night.
