Nashville, TN (January 29, 2013) ----- Two of Christian music's premiere singer/songwriters will launch their first tour together next month. Andrew Peterson and Jason Gray will start The StoryTellers Tour February 16th in Illinois and will conclude March 16th in Ohio. Both of them will bring their unique brand of humor, heartfelt lyrics and intimate performances that are sure to delight their many fans across eight states. Tickets are now on sale and may be purchased at each venue, and can be found at www.andrew-peterson.com or www.jasongraymusic.com.
"As much as I love Jason's songwriting, and excited as I am about doing these concerts, I'm even more excited about having several weeks of time with one of my dear friends," explains Peterson. "I don't know anybody who can communicate with an audience like Jason can. It's a rare gift, and I plan to take copious notes and steal as much as possible from him on this tour. Anyone out there who hasn't seen him live is in for a huge blessing, even if he has a weird Michael Jackson head-whip thing he does when he gets into a song."
"Andrew Peterson has always been one of my heroes," adds Gray. "He is a truth-teller of the highest order and creates some of the most beautiful music I've heard. I'm also grateful to call him my good friend. We've talked about doing a tour together for years and I'm excited we finally get to do it. Oh yeah, and he throws like a girl."
