Brian Littrell, Rebecca St. James Team Up For Christmas Tour

Brian Littrell, of the Backstreet Boys, is shaking up Christian music.

As part of the boy band that started it all, Littrell and the other Boys sold over 80 million records (a new Backstreet Boys album is reportedly in the works for '07) and accumulated a ton of fans worldwide.  This past spring, Littrell came out with his first solo project, a Christian album, which has produced two hit singles so far.

Next month, Littrell is hitting the road with contemporary Christian artist Rebecca St. James on a Christmas tour.  (See the article about the tour in today's Christian Post).

In the interest of full disclosure, yours truly is producing four of the dates on this tour.  If the email traffic that is hitting my inbox is any indication, Littrell has the potential to attract some people to a Christian concert who probably would never otherwise attend.  And that's a good thing.  I'm excited about what God is doing -- and will do -- through his ministry.

As of this writing, Brian and I have not yet met, but I am already impressed with him.  He agreed to extend his tour, sans Rebecca, for one day to play a free concert we are doing for members of the military and their families at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot on Parris Island in Beaufort, South Carolina.  (Avalon will join Brian for this performance).  Many members of the Navy and Marines from this community are either currently deployed or soon will be.  This concert will be a blessing to these families and I am grateful to Brian and Avalon for supporting it.
