Lauren Daigle
Lauren Daigle has dominated the charts since the release of her Grammy Award-winning 2018 album Look Up Child. The album also debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart, making Daigle the first female artist to simultaneously hit the top 10 on both Billboard’s Pop and Top Christian Album charts. Look Up Child’s hit single “You Say” saw the Louisiana-born singer-songwriter cross over into the mainstream; the song was certified six-times platinum, spending 100 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs chart. In 2023, Daigle released her self-titled fourth studio album (her first for a major label, Atlantic Records), which features folk, jazz and R&B influences. The Christian pop powerhouse will also bring her soulful rasp and emotional storytelling to the road when she heads out on her highly-anticipated U.S. arena tour, dubbed The Kaleidoscope Tour.
Blessing Offor
Blessing Offor speaks to relatable experiences of struggle, triumph, life, and love from a distinctive perspective as a Nigerian-born, Connecticut-raised, and Nashville-based singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist. Exhibiting virtuosic piano ability, honest songwriting, and a showstopping voice, his musical fluency and creative foresight are unmatched only made more inspiring by his journey.
With five older siblings, Blessing left Nigeria at just six-years-old to live with his uncle in Connecticut. Glaucoma left him blind in one eye, and mom and dad felt he might find better medical care in the United States. He lost sight in the other eye at ten-years-old due to a water gun accident. Nevertheless, Blessing dove into music. He devoured classics by Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, The Commodores, and Barry White. He was even allowed to listen to Eminem under one condition – “If I said any of the words, my uncle would take it away,” he laughs.
From a young age, Blessing had the natural ability to learn music by ear, developing incredible skill while quickly building his musical index.
“Seeing things differently—no pun intended—helps me elucidate concepts in ways people aren’t used to,” he notes. “Everybody has a different filter and a place they come from. My place was, ‘Oh man, my vision is terrible.’ It was frustrating early on, but it trained my ear.”
Now, this international upbringing, unbelievable journey, quiet grind, and confluence of styles define his 2023 debut full-length album, My Tribe, that brings together soul, pop, R&B, and African styles in service of a universal sound—which he fittingly dubs “the genre of humanity.”
*Concert was originally schedule for Sunday, March 10th, 2024 at 7 P.M. ET at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Ticketmaster announced the change of date & venue via e-mail on Monday, March 4th.
