AUGUST 19, 2014 (NEW YORK) - Billboard chart-topping, multi Grammy® Award-winning, gospel music artist Bishop Hezekiah Walker, with Grammy® Award-winning artist Tye Tribbett and Stellar Award-winning gospel singer and songwriter, VaShawn Mitchell, will kick off the BRIDGE TO BELIEVE TOUR on September 11th in Dallas, Texas, at The Potter's House, home to Bishop T.D. Jakes. In a historical first, these three diverse gospel artists will bridge gospel's classical, spiritual roots to its modern place of positivity and inspiration. The praise-worthy 22-city tour, presented by New Gospel Entertainment, will find its way to the nation's largest mega-churches (capacities ranging from 5,000 to 7,000), passing through major cities nationwide.

Tickets will go on sale Tuesday, August 19 at 9am EST via www.bridgetobelieve.com.

In addition to Potter's House, the BRIDGE TO BELIEVE TOUR will be making stops at some of the nation's largest congregations, including Mount Zion Baptist (Bishop Joseph Warren Walker, III), Allen Cathedral (Rev. Floyd Flake), and Eastern Star Baptist Church (Pastor Jeffrey A. Johnson).

Impact Television Network, media partner of the BRIDGE TO BELIEVE TOUR, will be providing remote broadcasts from select venues throughout the tour, allowing for audiences nationwide to experience the spectacular event.

"I believe this tour has the power to reach multiple generations and reestablish gospel music in America," said Bishop Hezekiah Walker. "By collaborating with Tye Tribbett and VaShawn Mitchell, we were able to bring a variety of styles into the mix which really makes this tour stand out."

"I feel so honored to be singing beside Hezekiah Walker and VaShawn Mitchell on this incredible tour that will usher audiences into the power of community worship," said Tye Tribbett

"This tour is about unity," said Vashawn Mitchell. This is the first time I will be collaborating with these artists. This tour will be about us coming together and giving praise." "New Gospel Entertainment (New Gospel) is thrilled that Bishop Hezekiah Walker, Tye Tribbett and VaShawn Mitchell are paving the way for this exciting new genre of touring," said Steven Marrs, Managing Partner of New Gospel. "This is the first of many entertainment ventures for New Gospel in partnership with some of Gospel's greatest artists and we are excited to see the continued growth and influence within the faith-based market."

"Impact Televisions' unparalleled desire to support initiatives of higher quality is being brought to life by projects like the BRIDGE TO BELIEVE TOUR," said Sean Pennington, President of Entertainment for Impact Television Networks, "this exciting, first-of-its kind experience perfectly demonstrates our commitment to community that we strive every day to achieve as a network."

For the past three decades, Grammy® Award-winning choir director Bishop Hezekiah Walker has become the face of the black Gospel choir with his classic hits, "Souled Out," "Grateful," and "I Need You To Survive." In 2014 he set Billboard history with the longest running #1 song on Billboard's Gospel charts, "Every Praise." Walker's first 13 albums have all also been featured on Billboard's Top Gospel Chart, four of which have earned him 10 Stellar Awards. Bishop's 14th forthcoming album, "Azusa The Next Generation," was released in 2013. Walker is the founder and leader of the Love Fellowship Choir (LFC), and Pastor and Bishop of the Love Fellowship Tabernacle. As well as the Presiding Bishop of Pentecostal Churches of Jesus Christ and the Founder and Overseer of the Covenant Keepers International Fellowship.

Known for challenging the ears of contemporary gospel listeners, Tye Tribbett has helped redefine gospel music with two #1 albums, which earned him two Stellar Awards and three Grammy® nominations. Founder of G.A. (also known as Greater Anointing), he has shared the stage with artists including Gloria Estefan, LeAnn Rimes, Elton John, Luther Vandross and Stevie Wonder. Other musical collaborations and features include artists such as Faith Hill, F.O.C.U.S., Mary Mary, Jessica Simpson, Justin Timberlake, Sting, The Roots, John Mellencamp, Mary J. Blige, and others. In addition to his first four records with G.A., fans worldwide are currently raving over his independent 2013 release of Greater Than, which debuted at #1 on Billboard's Top Gospel Chart, #9 on Billboard's Top 200, and #4 on iTunes.

Award-winning singer, songwriter and producer, VaShawn Mitchell, released an all new EP this August, titled 'GOD MY GOD.' The extended play release includes Mitchell's rising new radio single, "God My God," along with three additional songs, "Amaze Me," featuring Anthony Brown, "This Is To You," and "Your Name...The Moment." The songs are part of an epic, two-part live recording in Chicago and Atlanta. The full-length live recording album, UNSTOPPABLE, will be released this fall.
