Transcript
00:00This is a major, major, major tour for inspirational music and it's going to be very historic because
00:15there's no headliner. No headliner, you're going to have four men on stage doing different
00:19collaborations. You'll see them on stage together at the same time, sometimes doing a duet together,
00:23a trio. What I would tell people is, it's definitely not going to be like your normal
00:28gospel concert because we just try to take it to another level, you know, inspirational
00:33entertainment at its best. And if we can do that, you know, just not allow it to be church
00:40as usual, you know, let it be churchy, but not church. Really, really what it means to
00:45me is it's an honor to be a part of something historic, really something that is really
00:52groundbreaking and a landmark move like this that's going to literally, it's going to
00:58really set the bar high. We all compliment each other's strengths as well. So I'm looking
01:04forward to it. I'm really looking forward to the opportunity to have the support of a
01:09live nation who's venturing into this genre for the first time. And we want to represent
01:14that well. I mean, anybody who's followed gospel music closely or even from a distance would
01:19probably all agree that some of the best music and musicality and singing has come out of
01:26this genre. And it's really, I think Donnie said this earlier, but it's been the root for
01:32all these other musical styles. And so the fact that it's being showcased as such is a good
01:38thing. Kirk is an unbelievable visionary. And, you know, his dreams and his passions in order
01:44to make this tour unlike any other is in the forefront of his mind.
01:51You've got to come and see it. It is going to be such an eclectic music and such a camaraderie
01:57on the stage. It is going to revolutionize the way concerts are seen and done. Literally,
02:03we're fans of each other. We're friends of each other and we're family. And it's an opportunity
02:09to be able to stand on stage and do what I do at home. See, because at home I don't
02:14sing my songs. I don't sing myself unless I sing their songs. And it gives me a chance
02:19to be on stage and do this. Kirk Franklin made some of the greatest songs in the world.
02:23Absolutely. All four of us have been on stage at different times, different moments. And
02:26it's going to be very interactive and very inspirational and entertaining at the same time. So this is big
02:31for us and we want it to be very big for our community and to make everybody proud.
