Grammy® nominee, Dove Award winner, and Capitol recording artist, Danny Gokey is gearing up for his
first-ever headline tour with this fall’s The Hope Encounter. Also featuring Grammy® nominee Tauren Wells and breakout artist Riley Clemmons, the tour will hit 29
markets across the country, including Jacksonville’s Times-Union Center for the
Performing Arts on October 6, 2018. Produced
by general market powerhouse Outback Concerts, the tour will play mostly
theaters and performing arts centers.
“It’s been a dream of mine since American Idol to headline my own
major tour,” says Gokey. “That
platform opened my eyes to the power of mixing hope with entertainment. Hearing
a message of hope at just the right time can truly make an impact in someone’s
life. Getting this opportunity is a dream come true! I love touring, being with
fans, and seeing first-hand how the music can encourage people in a time in our
society where hope (mixed with a little fun) is so desperately needed.”
Gokey became a favorite of millions
of fans as a Top 3 finalist on Season 8 of American Idol. His first album, My Best Days, debuted
at #4 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart. Since then, the Wisconsin native has
celebrated a series of #1 album debuts, including his first award-winning
holiday album, Christmas Is Here, as well as singles including the
recently Gold-certified “Tell Your Heart
to Beat Again” and “Hope In Front of Me.”
Gokey’s latest album, Rise, reached #1 on the Billboard Top Christian
Album chart and garnered his first Grammy nomination. Its title track, marked his third, multi-week,
multi-chart #1 single.
Tauren Wells,
a four-time GRAMMY® nominee, debuted Hills and Valleys — his first
full-length solo project — in July 2017, just prior to hitting arenas on the
Lionel Richie/Mariah Carey 22-city “All the Hits Tour.” The album’s title track was one of the most
streamed Christian songs of 2017, according to Spotify, and currently registers
over 50 million total streams. The
official music video and lyric video have combined views exceeding 25 million. His single, "Undefeated," also served as the soundtrack for the
internet-famous Dude Perfect’s “World
Records Edition” episode on YouTube which, along with another Dude Perfect
video featuring the No. 1 single "Love
Is Action," has garnered more than 100 million views combined. Wells made history earlier this year by
landing singles in both the #1 (“All My
Hope (ft. Tauren Wells)” by Crowder) and #2 (“When We Pray”) spots simultaneously on national radio charts.
Riley Clemmons
is an 18-year-old, Nashville-based singer/songwriter signed to Capitol
Christian Music Group. Her debut single,
“Broken Prayers,” skyrocketed at
radio upon its release in early 2018 and the music video earned over a million
views on YouTube in less than two months. The single has now crossed over ten million
global streams. Most recently, Riley was
featured on the song and music video for Social Club Misfit’s radio single “Misfit Anthem” and mainstream DJ,
Tritonal’s “Out My Mind.” Her upcoming full-length debut album released August
3, 2018.

event, presenting a fire lineup of comedians including: DeRay
Davis, Rickey Smiley*, Michael Blackson*, Jay Pharoah,
Deon Cole, Bruce Bruce, Adele Givens*, Clayton Thomas*
and Benji Brown. Coming off the 20th anniversary of Def Comedy Jam,
where he is known for his legendary hosting, Lawrence has made a triumphant
return to the stand-up stage wowing audiences with his signature style
of hilarious stories, social commentary, and more.
The 18 date Spring leg of the LIT AF
Tour played to sold out crowds in major cities across the country including Los
Angeles, New York, Atlanta, Washington, DC, Chicago, Miami and Las Vegas. (Comedians slated to come to Jacksonville,
FL *)
“Being on the road with this group of
funny AF comedians is a blast,” says Lawrence. “No two shows are the same and
we all bring something different to the party.”
Martin Lawrence started in stand-up comedy at the legendary The Improv,
where he honed his talents until he was asked by Russell Simmons to host his
groundbreaking comedy series Def Comedy Jam on HBO. From there, Lawrence became a household name
after his hugely popular self-titled TV show, Martin, was an instant hit
with TV viewers. He starred for five
years as not only the title character, but other support characters like the
sassy Sheneneh and Mama Payne, who became comedy classics. Lawrence would later go on to star in comedy
blockbusters like Bad Boys 1&2, A Thin Line Between Love and Hate,
which he also directed, and Big Momma’s House 1, 2 & 3 where he once
again proved his talent for creating and acting as multiple characters in one
storyline.

“Corteo” is the latest and one of the best-loved Cirque du Soleil’s arena productions, will
embark on a new journey throughout North America. The show will visit Jacksonville at the
Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena for a limited run of seven performances.
This unique production, directed by Daniele Finzi Pasca, first premiered in
Montreal under the Big Top in April 2005. Since then, the show has been a great success and has amazed 8
million people in 64 cities in 19
countries on four continents.
“Corteo”,
which means cortege in Italian, is a joyous procession, a festive parade
imagined by a clown. The show brings
together the passion of the actor with the grace and power of the acrobat to
plunge the audience into a theatrical world of fun, comedy and spontaneity
situated in a mysterious space between heaven and earth.
The clown pictures his own funeral taking place in a carnival atmosphere,
watched over by quietly caring angels. Juxtaposing the large with the small,
the ridiculous with the tragic and the magic of perfection with the charm of
imperfection, the show highlights the strength and fragility of the clown, as
well as his wisdom and kindness, to illustrate the portion of humanity that is
within each of us. The music turns
lyrical and playful carrying Corteo through a timeless
celebration in which illusion teases reality
The concept and disposition of the stage bring the audience in a theatrical
atmosphere like never seen before in Cirque du Soleil arena shows. The set curtains, inspired by the Eiffel
Tower, and the central curtains, which were hand painted, give a grandiose feel
to the stage. This sets the tone for the
poetry of Corteo. The cast of Corteo
includes 51 acrobats, musicians, singers and actors from all around the world.
