Nashville, TN, February 3, 2015-Top Christian music touring artist Big Daddy Weave announces the launch of the spring leg of their tremendously successful Beautiful Offerings Tour. The 44-city tour, which has already sold out four shows prior to the formal tour announcement, begins February 12 and includes special guest artists Jason Gray, Citizen Way and Lauren Daigle (see tour schedule below/final schedule TBA).
The tour follows one of the band's most successful years on the road and at radio. The Beautiful Offerings Tour premiered in fall 2014 as the launch of a Big Daddy Weave-driven event tour, a la Winter Jam or Rock & Worship Road Show. The Beautiful Offerings format is one of community among the artists and the audience, celebrating that having been redeemed and made beautiful by God, our lives and worship are offerings to Him. To personify this community, Big Daddy Weave performs as musical accompaniment for the tour artists, playing the radio hits in a fast-paced first set. The second set sees all of the artists on stage performing well-known worship music together in union with the audience.
"God has shown up in such a powerful way on these tours," shares Mike Weaver of Big Daddy Weave. "We continue to be blown away by His great love for us and for the people that we get to play for every night. The Beautiful Offerings Tour has been an especially sweet season, performing with artists who are our close friends. We're looking forward to a great collaboration in music and ministry with our friends Jason Gray and Citizen Way and our new friend Lauren Daigle, who is hands down my favorite new voice in Christian music. Her amazing talent is coupled with such a wonderful heart for Jesus. I can't wait to share this evening with people all over the country."
The first leg of the Beautiful Offerings Tour, which took place in the fall of 2014, saw record attendance numbers for the band with multiple sold-out shows. Big Daddy Weave's most recent album release, Love Come to Life has now scored four #1 singles and propelled them to be the second most played artist on Christian AC Monitored stations in 2014. The group recently received a nomination for Worship Song of the Year and the opportunity for fans to vote them to appear on a 7-UP can at the K-LOVE Fan Awards. The nominations were announced just days after returning from a World Vision trip to Cambodia and a performance at the esteemed Brooklyn Tabernacle.
A long-time partner with World Vision, having connected over 13,000 caring fans with children in need through child sponsorship, Big Daddy Weave will continue that trend, incorporating video and stories from their recent trip to Cambodia throughout the tour in an effort to raise awareness of how all can help with the needs of others here and abroad. In the midst of their extensive touring schedule and other ministry commitments, the band will spend the first half of the year readying their first studio album since 2012, slated for Fall 2015.

The project became Gray's, and Centricity Music's, highest debuting record by entering the Top Ten on Billboard's Christian Albums Chart. The album also gave Gray his first No. 1 AC radio hit, "With Every Act Of Love." Gray's previous two projects, A Way To See In The Dark and Everything Sad Is Coming Untrue, delivered the talented singer/songwriter five Top Ten singles in a row with "Nothing Is Wasted" becoming his first No. 1 single at radio. Gray has won two ASCAP Performance Awards for "More Like Falling In Love" (2011) and "Good To Be Alive" (2012). He remains active on the touring circuit by appearing on the high-profile The Bible: Son of God 2014 Tour, and sharing the stage with such major artists as Michael W. Smith, Steven Curtis Chapman, Sanctus Real, The Afters, and Andrew Peterson, among many others.
