Five-time GRAMMY® Winner TobyMac has announced the "Worship, Stories & Songs Tour" which will hit the road this fall and will feature Matt Maher and Ryan Stevenson. TobyMac, who is renown for his live performances, will bring together the three artists in a night of fellowship in intimate venues and musical settings across the country.
The "Worship, Stories & Songs Tour" will be a totally different TobyMac show, a time where it's not about the lights, smoke or big stage. Instead, it will be more intimate and personal, a "storyteller's night" where Toby will share where the songs came from.
Kicking off in Madison, MS on November 6, the tour will make select stops in 20 cities before wrapping in Ft. Wayne, IN in mid-December. For full tour dates and more information, see below.
Just last month, the K-LOVE Fan Awards honored TobyMac with the "Best Live Show" award. Completely voted upon by fans, TobyMac was nominated alongside Switchfoot, NEEDTOBREATHE, for KING & COUNTRY, Newsboys and Rend Collective.
Earlier this year, TobyMac gave fans a special treat with the world premiere of his music video "Speak Life," which debuted on cable's top-rated morning program Fox & Friends. View the music video for "Speak Life," which already has over 1.3 million views, below:
