The tour will also feature songs from McMillan's widely acclaimed album, Economy. Available on Integrity
Music and distributed by Provident and RED/Sony, McMillan's Economy became a Top 20 iTunes® overall "LP" hit and was tapped by ABC Network for its Grey's Anatomy promotions. McMillan's "Seen A Darkness" was featured on the 30-second promo for the show's episode, "Hope for the Hopeless" (Season 8: Episode 12), which aired on Thursday, January 12 (www.tvfanatic.com).
"With a cracking voice and soaring, fuzzed-out amplification, McMillan stands out as a true worship pioneer," says RELEVANT magazine of the three-time GMA Dove Award nominee for "New Artist of the Year," "Worship Song of the Year" and "Rock/Contemporary Album of the Year." For those following the North Carolina-based songwriter's steady rise as an artist, McMillan is hailed for his concise, poetic and often "raw" lyrics, with roots in Dylan, Kerouac and Springsteen, but haunted by the presence of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
