New York, NY (Top40 Charts) British gospel choir The Kingdom Choir will embark on their first-ever North American tour kicking off on Friday,
September 6th at the Sammy Davis Jr Festival Plaza in Las Vegas. The 29-date spectacular will take Britain's most celebrated gospel choir from hallowed amphitheatres like Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles to smaller venues and churches nationwide.
The Kingdom Choir catapulted to global acclaim when they captivated 2 billion viewers with their widely-publicized performance at The Royal Wedding of
Prince Harry of Wales and Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex at Windsor Castle, where they covered "Stand By Me." The London-based group has been together for over 20 years and has performed for notable figures including Former President Bill Clinton,
Queen Elizabeth II, and
Nelson Mandela. They were the first gospel choir to sing at a British royal wedding and are conducted by
Karen Gibson, proclaimed "Britain's Godmother of Gospel" by The Guardian. Learn more in this NPR interview with All Things Considered host Michel
Martin and Gibson: https://n.pr/2yMzBxr
This fall, The Kingdom Choir will tour in support of their debut album Stand By Me (Sony Music), a soulful collection featuring renditions of classics such as "Amazing Grace" and "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" to more contemporary cuts from today's hitmakers like Beyoncé's "Halo", Adele's "Make You Feel My Love, and Coldplay's "Fix You."
