SAINT PAUL, Minn. - Xcel Energy Center and 98.5 KTIS announced today that Grammy award-winning, Christian worship sensation Chris Tomlin will return to Xcel Energy Center on Friday, Oct. 13 as part of his "Good Good Father" Tour, with special guest Matt Maher. Tickets go on sale Friday, June 16 at 9 a.m.

From his rural Texas roots, cutting his chops on his father's country-western record collection, to the small Baptist church where he was first compelled by congregational singing, and now in his current position as the definitive worship leader for the worldwide church, Chris Tomlin has always been motivated to provide spiritual seekers a voice to talk with God through music.

Fast-forward thirty years and the artist whose humble demeanor suggests music is as much his heart's calling as a heady career has sold millions of albums, streamed billions of tracks, spawned 15 No. 1 radio singles and been awarded with multiple RIAA Gold and Platinum certifications, and a list of Grammy, Dove, Billboard Music and American Music Awards.

Touted by TIME Magazine as "the most often sung artist anywhere," on any given Sunday tens of millions of people in churches across the globe sing songs from Chris' rich, worship-focused catalog. Consistently ranking in the Top 20 of the CCLI Top 100 chart years after initial release, his benchmark anthems include "At the Cross (Love Ran Red)," "Our God" and "How Great is our God" - one of the fastest rising modern day hymns in CCLI chart history. His latest No. 1 single-turned-corporately sung staple, "Good, Good Father," was RIAA certified Gold after spending 15 weeks atop the Billboard Top Christian Tracks Chart.
