PLATINUM-certified, GRAMMY-nominated artist and songwriter Anne Wilson is extending her nationwide The STARS Tour into 2026, announcing 21 additional dates across the U.S. and Canada. The new leg will bring Wilson’s captivating live show to major cities including Atlanta, Charlotte, Boston, Baltimore and more. Presale for the new dates begins today, Nov. 17 at 12 p.m. local time, with general on sale beginning Friday, Nov. 21 at 10 a.m. local time.

“The STARS Tour is continuing this spring! My heart is overflowing thinking about all the moments we’ve shared so far — the worship, the stories and everything God has already done on this journey,” shares Wilson. “And the best part?! We’re just getting started! I’ve loved getting to share these new songs with y’all, and I can’t wait to bring them to even more cities. Bring your family and friends and let’s gather together to remember that the same God who made the stars made YOU and knows you by name.”

The STARS Tour comes on the heels of Wilson’s third studio album, Stars, released Oct. 17 via Capitol Christian Music Group. The sweeping 12-track collection captures faith, grief and wonder in equal measure and has already made an impressive impact across multiple Billboard charts, debuting at No. 4 on Top Christian Albums, No. 12 on Top Current Album Sales, No. 14 on Top Album Sales and No. 39 on Top Country Albums, underscoring Wilson’s rare crossover appeal and growing influence in both the Christian and country genres.

Critics have praised Stars as “a deeply personal project that blends her country roots with messages of faith, surrender and wonder” (Crosswalk). Billboard hailed the album as one that “deeply intertwines her country music roots with her faith-based message,” spotlighting “Hold Your Horses” as one of Wilson’s “twangiest songs yet.” Holler called Stars “a beautifully cohesive body of work” and “a spiritual supernova pushing country music in bold new directions,” while Music Mayhem described it as “grief, growth, and the relentless pursuit of honesty.”

Across its 12 tracks – all co-written by Wilson – Stars finds the Kentucky native stepping fully into her own as a storyteller, blending the grit of country with the hope of faith in a way that is entirely her own. Produced by Jeff Pardo, Jonathan Smith and Ross Copperman, the coming-of-age collection brings together acclaimed writers like Trannie Anderson, Blake Pendergrass, Emily Weisband and Andy Albert.

Highlights from the album include her soaring single, “God Story,” currently in the Top 10 at Christian radio and climbing; “The Carpenter,” a porch-front hymn to legacy and redemption; “Jesus on the Radio,” a back-roads anthem where faith meets everyday life; and “Hold Your Horses,” a lighthearted nod to patience and guarding your heart.

Elsewhere, the stirring “Dead in the Water” tells a powerful story of redemption for anyone who’s ever thought they were too far gone, while the title track “Stars” – inspired by Wilson’s childhood dream of becoming an astronaut — sets the tone as a metaphor for wonder, curiosity and divine redirection. “Carry Me” anchors the record with unguarded emotion, and “Twenty Three” captures the moment Wilson realized she would live longer than her late brother Jacob — a poignant marker in her journey through loss.

Wilson also expands her message beyond the stage through her new 40-day devotional, Hey Girl: You Are Seen, Loved, and Made for More via K-LOVE Books, written to help young women discover their true worth and unshakeable identity in Christ.

Cutting right to the core of their overall mission, this tour will offer an intimate invitation that leaves fans feeling less like they are watching the band, and more like they are a treasured band member.

“Every night on this tour will remind us why we do what we do — bring people together through music and faith,” shares Sidewalk Prophets frontman, Dave Frey. “We’re beyond excited to keep that mission going and see even more faces this season!”

By heading to the band’s website and clicking the link to a specific tour date, fans can sign up for ticket pre-sale alerts between now and 11/24 for a chance to win a private meet and greet with the band. Pre-sale begins 11/24, with all tickets on sale on 11/28.

Fans can also catch Sidewalk Prophets on their annual “Great Big Family Christmas Tour,” kicking off 11/21 in Hays, KS. A great big family tradition for seven years, the tour will feature the band’s hits, original Christmas songs, and classic holiday favorites. Each special night will have a charitable component, as well as other fun surprises, with donations collected being given to a local family or individual in need. To date, the “Great Big Family Christmas Tour” has donated over $300,000 to those in need during the Christmas season.

Earlier this year, Sidewalk Prophets made their Grand Ole Opry debut. Stepping onto the famous stage and performing “Hurt People (Love Will Heal Our Hearts),” the band also surprised the audience by performing “Looking Up” with American Idol Season 21 runner up, Megan Danielle.

Your Roots Are Showing (YRAS), Ireland’s premiere folk and roots music conference, announces Amy Grant as its 2026 Folk in Fusion headliner. Folk in Fusion will take place on Tuesday, January 13 at Waterfront Hall, Belfast.

“”I am excited to return to Ireland in January and was honored to be asked to headline this show,” says Grant. “I’m also looking forward to participating in the Your Roots Are Showing conference. I am always happy to be included in a community of artists, songwriters and writers and I can’t think of a better way to start a new year.”

The Your Roots Are Showing conference wil launch its YRAS app (powered by Aloompa) in coming weeks, providing attendees with convenient access to the full schedule of panels, workshops, official showcases, and networking events. It will also offer personalized tools to help participants make the most of their time in Belfast, creating an experience that is as connected and efficient as it is inspiring.

“Our goal has always been to create a concert and conference experience that feels warm, welcoming, and forward-thinking serving everyone from emerging artists to global industry executives,” said Charlene Sloan, Executive Director and Co-Founder of YRAS. “Having Amy Grant as our headliner for this year’s Folk In Fusion is simply incredile. We look forward to seeing everyone in Belfast in January!”

5X Grammy Award winning R&B singer-producer and Maroon 5-member, PJ Morton, and Darrel Walls, of the 4x Grammy Award nominated Walls Group sibling quartet, have earned two Grammy Award nominations for their project, Heart of Mine (Tyscot /Gumbo Studios). It earned a nod in the Best Gospel Album category and the track “Amazing” caught a wink in the category of Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song. 

“Being nominated for two GRAMMYs on my debut solo album feels surreal,” Walls says. “I’m grateful for the journey, for the lessons, and for everyone who believed in me. Thank you, PJ Morton and the Recording Academy. This is proof that faith, consistency, and obedience will always produce fruit.”

Heart of Mine is the second installment in Morton’s “A PJ Morton Production” series that features Morton orchestrating cross-genre collaborations with some of his favorite rising stars in hip-hop, R&B and gospel music. Morton produced and wrote the seven-track project with Walls’ dynamic voice in mind. Walls co-wrote two of the tracks with Morton and performed his own  background vocals.

The sessions were recorded at Morton’s Studio in the Country, the historic complex in rural Bogalusa, Louisiana, where an array of music legends (Stevie Wonder, Beach House, Dr. John, Jimmy Buffet, The Neville Brothers, Willie Nelson and more) have recorded classic records. Morton bought the 20-acre campus last year and is allowing a new generation of artists to experience its magic. The critically acclaimed album has been well-received by music lovers, and has already racked up over 4 million digital streams globally.

Angel (NYSE: ANGX), a media and technology company guided by 1.6 million grassroots Angel Guild members championing values-driven stories, today announced that its upcoming animated epic DAVID has earned nearly $3 million in theatrical pre-sales in three weeks – the highest in Angel’s history, and the highest ever reported for an animated theatrical musical in such a timeframe. Combined with robust exhibitor demand, this positions DAVID for a highly competitive nationwide opening in theaters on December 19, 2025.

“Angel continues to deliver compelling films that resonate with audiences across our circuit, and DAVID is no exception,” said Cinemark SVP of Global Content Strategy and Analysis Justin McDaniel. “We are seeing strong early enthusiasm from moviegoers, and its release during the Christmas holiday makes it a fitting choice for families seeking inspiring and faith-filled entertainment. We look forward to bringing DAVID to our immersive auditoriums this December.”

“The early success of DAVID is no surprise,” said Jordan Harmon, President of Angel. “Our audience chooses which stories reach theaters, and the Angel Guild has embraced DAVID with the highest scores ever recorded. This is a powerful, values-driven animated musical that unites families and uplifts hearts – the perfect story to celebrate the holidays.”

Multi-platinum artist Phil Wickham headlines DAVID, joined by actor, dancer, and singer Brandon Engman as young David. Angel recently released the film’s full original soundtrack – the earliest complete soundtrack ever launched for an animated theatrical musical – giving audiences a first listen to its stirring music. The DAVID teaser trailer has quickly amassed nearly three million views on YouTube, and across platforms, some of the film’s standout music moments have generated more than 17 million views, building strong awareness and anticipation ahead of the animated musical’s wide theatrical release.

Building on this momentum, Angel will also host a special DAVID Family Sing-Along event in theaters nationwide on December 31, 2025, an interactive celebration designed to extend the film’s momentum and bring audiences together for an unforgettable, music-filled New Years’ experience.

“We’re deeply grateful for Cinemark’s shared commitment to bringing families together through meaningful, shared experiences at the cinema,” said Brandon Purdie, Head of Theatrical at Angel. “Since the launch of our theatrical division in 2023, Cinemark has stood with us in our mission to amplify light through values-driven storytelling. We’re honored to continue that partnership as we bring DAVID to theaters across the country this holiday season.”

In addition to DAVID, Angel’s upcoming theatrical slate showcases a diverse range of stories and genres. Highlights include I WAS A STRANGER, a powerful tale of resilience and hope set against the backdrop of the Syrian Civil War and featured in more than 50 film festivals worldwide; SOLO MIO, a heartwarming romantic comedy starring Kevin James, Kim Coates, and Alyson Hannigan; and YOUNG WASHINGTON, an epic biopic starring Kelsey Grammer, Mary-Louise Parker, and Ben Kingsley — introducing William Franklyn-Miller in the title role — set for release on July 3, 2026.

Produced by Sunrise Animation and distributed by Angel in partnership with 2521 Entertainment, DAVID advances Angel’s mission to bring families stories that uplift, inspire, and entertain.

Provident Entertainment’s publishing division, Essential Music Publishing, announces the promotion of Andie Rankins to Vice President of Essential Publishing Administration.

Rankins joined the company in 2015 and is being promoted from Senior Director, Essential Publishing Administration. That same year, when Provident acquired its catalog from Sony Music Publishing, she assumed responsibility for developing, instituting, and overseeing the company’s internal publishing administration process. Since then, Rankins has driven significant growth within the division by expanding its client base and strengthening operations.

Under Rankins’ leadership, Essential Publishing Administration has developed into a thriving, integral part of Provident Entertainment.

“Andie’s unwavering care and commitment for our copyrights and writers, combined with her servant leadership approach, make her the ideal person to lead Essential Publishing Administration as Vice President,” says Holly Zabka, President of Provident Entertainment. “I am thrilled to celebrate this well-deserved promotion.”

On November 8th, two-time GRAMMY Nominee and Gold-Certified multi-instrumentalist Blessing Offor made a splash across the pond with his UK television debut as part of BBC1’s Festival of Remembrance. Performing his Gold-Certified single, “Brighter Days,” at the iconic Royal Albert Hall, audience members included King Charles, Queen Camilla, Kate Middleton; Princess of Wales, Prince George, Prince Edward and wife Sophie; Duke and Duchess of York and the Prime Minister Kier Starmer.

Over 5 million viewers tuned in to the Festival of Remembrance on BBC which was hosted by Hannah Waddingham (Ted Lasso) and including additional performances by Sir Rod Steward, Keala Settle, and Sam Ryder. The annual event commemorated the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War and honored the courage and sacrifice of those who fought and lost their lives.

This Friday, November 14th, Blessing closes out a landmark year with the release of his new Christmas EP, To All A Good Night. The eight song offering features two new original Christmas songs, the pop infused “To All A Goodnight” co-written with Nathan Wallace and introspective “God With Us” co-written with Andrew Skib. To All A Good Night also includes Blessing’s take on *NSYNC’s “Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays” and Otis Redding’s “Merry Christmas, Baby.”

Since the debut of his album My Tribe, two-time GRAMMY nominee and multi-award winner Blessing Offor has established himself as an artist’s artist with a voice as bright and authentic as his personality. The album’s lead single, “Brighter Days” earned him his first RIAA Gold Certification and his duet, “The Goodness” with TobyMac, became his first #1.

Blessing was then named 2023’s Amazon Music Breakthrough Artist and Pandora Artist to Watch and appeared on Good Morning America, The Today Show, Kelly Clarkson and The Jennifer Hudson Show. His long-awaited sophomore album, Real (2025), was created during a season of profound loss for Blessing, emotional wounds that led to 16 deeply personal songs.

The album features singles “Jordans,” and “Somebody’s Child” with Dolly Parton. He punctuated the moment with two performances on Today with Jenna and Friends including his single “Lift Me Up” which has been streamed nearly 8 million times to date

Grammy Award-Winning Recording Artist and Actress Tamela Mann is stepping from the stage to the kitchen with her new business venture showcasing her love of cooking. Expanding her popular, award-winning MannTV YouTube series Mama Mann’s Kitchen, Tamela has been developing this collection for the last couple of years and partnered in 2025 with Celebrity Chef Erica Barrett (Season 5 Winner Food Network’s BBQ Brawl) to perfect it and bring Mama Mann’s Kitchen Seasoning Blend Collection to the world.

“Mama Mann’s Kitchen is all about love you can taste,” said Tamela. “These spices come from the same heart that’s been cooking for my family for years — with flavor, warmth, and faith at the center. They’re full of flavor, easy to use, and will remind you of grandma’s down home cooking. They’ll make you say mmmmmm. My goal is to help families bring a little more joy to the table and remember that food, like love, is best when it’s shared and doesn’t have to be hard to make.”

For Tamela, good food has always been about love, laughter, and bringing folks together. All four blends in the Mama Mann’s Kitchen Seasoning Blend Collection were made with that same heart. The For Everything blend adds a little love to just about any dish — from roasted veggies to Sunday dinner.

The Garlic Mix brings that perfect kick of comfort, the kind that fills your house with “come and get it” energy. The All Things Blackened blend is bold and soulful, made for folks who like a little sizzle and spice. And for those sweet moments, Just For Pie wraps every bite in warmth and nostalgia, like dessert at grandma’s house. Together, the Savory Seasoning Collection Set gives every home cook a little taste of Tamela’s table — seasoned with joy, faith, and a whole lot of love.

Over the years, Tamela utilized her Mama Mann’s Kitchen content series on YouTube to curate these seasonings. In Mama Mann’s Kitchen, Tamela brings her passion of home cooking to life, inspiring people of all ages, including people who don’t cook, to get into the kitchen, have fun, and learn how to make cooking simple. Tamela has inspired millions of people across this country to cook more, which will now be even easier with her new seasoning collection.

“From my kitchen to your home, I’ve crafted my new spice blends with loving care,” added Tamela. “They’re full of flavor, easy to use, and will remind you of grandma’s down-home cooking.”
