American Idol alum Melinda Doolittle is returning to Michael W. Smith’s annual Christmas tour.
The tour launches Nov. 28th in Dallas and travels to 18 major markets across the U.S., with stops in Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Tennessee and Ohio.
Doolittle first appeared on the well attended Christmas tour back in 2008.
“This is a tour that I look forward to every year!” Smith exclaims. “It’s pure joy to lead these songs, sharing a celebratory message of hope. And with the addition of Melinda Doolittle, this is about as good as it gets for me!”
Tickets for the Christmas tour are available now at www.michaelwsmith.com. In addition to the concert, and in support of his 27-year relationship with Compassion International, Smith is meeting with people in each city who sponsor a child through the organization prior to the concert. This “Compassion Meet & Greet” is an opportunity to learn more about the Compassion International’s child sponsorship experience and will include a photo opportunity with Smith.
“Helping children in need around the world through the work of Compassion International is a timely message during the Christmas season,” says Smith, who has generated more than 70,000 child sponsorships for Compassion through his concerts. “I hope we create a memory for everyone that attends the tour, and, at the same time, we impact the lives of some very special children.”
