Two of Christian music’s
most beloved sibling vocalists, Southern Gospel standout Lynda Randle
and Newsboys frontman Michael Tait, are set to join forces this season
for four exclusive “Together For Christmas” concerts around the country.
With unmatched harmonies that effortlessly bridge genres, the duo will
present an evening of sacred carols, holiday classics and cherished
Christmas memories.
The concerts will also highlight selections from both artists’
repertoires, including Randle’s signature songs “God On The Mountain”
and “Motherless Child,” and Tait’s Newsboys hits “God’s Not Dead” and
“We Believe,” among other favorites. In addition, the siblings will
reminisce on family Christmases past and Randle will share a reading
from her acclaimed children’s book, “What’s So Great About Mama’s
Plate?”
Launching
November 30 at Immanuel Baptist Church in Wichita, Kansas, the evening
will feature Randle, Tait and their band along with a 50-voice choir.
The “Together For Christmas” concert series will also stop at the Bell
Cultural Events Center in Olathe, Kansas, on December 3, where special
guests are slated to include Randle’s daughter Joy, as well as
MidAmerica Nazarene University’s renowned Heritage Choir. Additionally,
the duo will visit Henderson, Texas’ First Baptist Church on December 1
and Christian Heritage Church in Graniteville, South Carolina, on
December 15.
“Michael and I are so excited about this special tour,” Randle says.
“We love singing together but we’re each so busy doing our own thing
throughout the year we rarely have the opportunity to share the stage.
Growing up in a large, close-knit family, music and togetherness
were—and still are important to us, and what better time to celebrate
these things than at Christmas?”
“So many families are torn apart and at odds with each other, and
Christmas can be a lonely time,” she adds. “But God is still in the
restoration business and we want to help remind folks that Christmas can
also be an opportunity to strengthen family relationships and deepen
close friendships.”
“Life doesn’t get much better than being on stage with one of your
best friends on the planet Earth—in this case, my big sister Lynda Tait
Randle,” Tait says. “We can’t wait to be ‘Together For Christmas’ once
again this year.”
A Dove Award-winning singer/songwriter, author and television
personality, Lynda Randle is one of Southern Gospel’s most distinct
voices. A familiar face at Gaither Homecoming events and on Homecoming
videos through the years, she has also shared the stage with such
musical legends as Andraé Crouch and Gladys Knight, among others.
Randle’s signature song, “God On The Mountain,” has garnered more than
35 million YouTube views, and she is also the creator and host of the
popular “A Woman After God’s Own Heart” conference. The event ministers
to women from all walks of life each year through a unique combination
of music, dance, teaching, prayer and humor.
Frontman of GRAMMY-nominated, Platinum-selling Newsboys, Michael Tait
has been a defining voice in Contemporary Christian Music for more than
three decades. His hits with the iconic group include “God’s Not Dead,”
“We Believe” and “Born Again,” among many others. Prior to joining Newsboys
who have sold more than 10 million units, earned eight Gold
certifications, 33 #1 radio hits, two American Music Award nominations
and multiple Dove Awards—Tait, along with Toby McKeehan and Kevin Max,
co-founded one of the most influential bands in Christian music history,
dc Talk. The “Jesus Freak” rockers amassed multiple GRAMMY and Dove
Awards, shattering musical and cultural boundaries along the way.
