MULTI-AWARD WINNING ARTIST JASON CRABB BRINGS MUSIC WITH A MESSAGE TO GRACE

World-Class Music Success Doesn't Eclipse His First Call To Ministry

In April he stood onstage at the 2011 Dove Awards at the historic Fox Theater in Atlanta to receive 'Song of The Year' honors for 'Sometimes I Cry.' He's performed at Carnegie Hall, became a favorite with audiences at Nashville's Grand Ole Opry, was honored to sing for the Rev. Billy Graham's 'Farewell Crusade in New York City, and appeared regularly on the ever-popular Gaither Homecoming Series videos. His distinctive voice has echoed in churches great and small in America and throughout the world.

Now, Jason Crabb will bring his ministry inspired music with a message to our area . . .

Jason Crabb has in the last few years emerged as 'the face' of Southern Gospel Music to long-time listeners as well as to the legion of new generation fans he's helped bring into the fold—transitioning seamlessly from his full-time role as the power-house lead vocalist for The Crabb Family when the group left the road—to launching a solo career that has already literally proven to be 'without borders.' Today at 34, with Grammy® and multiple Dove Awards to his credit, Jason Crabb wears success as singer, songwriter, musician, producer, and best selling author all with equal humility in the knowledge that God has called him to the mission of reaching people.

The gift he'll bring to our audiences is the gift that he has taken seriously since beginning his journey in music at the age of 14. The son of one of the southern gospel genres most prolific writers, Gerald Crabb, who has crafted more than two dozen #1 songs that have topped the southern gospel charts, Jason learned early the incomparable value of an authentic ministry heart set to music. Amazingly as gifted to preach as he is to sing, the combination brings a spiritual impact to his concerts that is both powerful and memorable long after the last notes have faded.

"People everywhere are hurting," he noted in a recent interview. "Their backs are against the wall. They've lost their jobs, their 401Ks and the big corporations in many cases are shutting down. We're all human and we all struggle. A song like 'Sometimes I Cry' has had an amazing connection with people during these hard times. They need to hear it—to be reminded that it's OK to be honest about where they are. Everyone walks through the fire of adversity, but whatever the experiences—joys or sorrows—our amazing God can use every bit of your life to produce the most unexpected results."

In the face of an ever expanding reach of influence through music taking him to new audiences and new world encompassing opportunities to exercise his creativity, Jason is dedicated to staying close to the original call that keeps him on the road. People. People like those he'll perform for here.

With the Grammy® Award in hand for his debut self-titled album Jason Crabb and the critically acclaimed success of his recently released inspirational book Trusting God To Get You Through (Charisma House), forwarded by Bill Gaither, reaching readers with a powerful depth of ministry, Jason Crabb is seemingly just now beginning to discover the full vision of all God has for his life.
