Christian music has never seemed so fun as it is now, with artists and rhythms that are even giving Third Day and Switchfoot a run for their money. Award-winning performing artists Chris Tomlin and TobyMac have joined forces for the Hello Tonight summer tour promoting their two newly released solo albums, Tomlin's Hello Love and TobyMac's Tonight. Tomlin's Americana rock has been recognized and adopted as worship music by churches across the nation, making him the most-sung Christian artist in the United States. His new album, which is his fourth studio record for sixstepsrecords/Sparrow, carries a sense of urgency while also communicating a tone of timelessness in the simplicity of the lyrics and beauty of Tomlin's melodies. TobyMac, on the other hand, has a different musical style from his touring partner. The self-proclaimed hip-rock artist promises to provide a show that unites performers as well as attendees. Having already climbed the mountain once with Grammy-award-winning group dcTalk, TobyMac has reached the top again with more than two million solo sales, a Grammy for his 2008 album Alive and Transported, and recognition as a two-time BMI Songwriter of the Year. His newest album Tonight is an eclectic mix of rock, funk, rap, pop, and reggae that speaks of unity and reconciliation, of coming together and finding common ground among all walks of life.
