Christian artist David Phelps to perform at Albany church

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Dove and Grammy award-winning recording artist David Phelps will be featured in Albany Sunday in a concert at First Freewill Baptist Church.

The concert event begins at 6 p.m.

Once a childhood musical prodigy from Tomball, Texas, Phelps earned a bachelor’s degree in music from Baylor University. Since then, he has become a nationally celebrated vocalist. Perhaps best known as the powerful tenor for the multiple Grammy and Dove Award-winning Gaither Vocal Band, Phelps is constantly building on a career that has already been groundbreaking.

Phelps has performed at numerous prestigious venues across the globe, including the White House, New York’s Carnegie Hall and the Sydney Opera House in Australia. With 14 solo albums to his credit, his electrifying voice has moved audiences from all walks of life, crossing generational and stylistic barriers.

The First Free Will event will feature Phelps and his seven-piece band. Many of the songs featured are included on Phelps’ new release “Hymnal.” Phelps lends his three-octave range to some of the most treasured hymns of the church with this new recording, which showcases masterful vocals and lush arrangements of such classics as “Amazing Grace,” “How Great Thou Art,” “In The Garden,” “Victory In Jesus” and “It Is Well With My Soul.”
