Kari Jobe, in collaboration with Premier Productions, has announced The Blessing USA Tour. Sponsored by illumiNations and CovidSafeChurch.com and named after Jobe’s GRAMMY-nominated and Dove Award-winning success, Jobe is thrilled to hit the road for the first time in a year and perform a night of worship in 22 cities across the UNITED STATES.
Also featuring Cody Carnes, the tour will kick off April 15 in Pittsburgh and continue to markets including Dallas, Orlando, Minneapolis, Atlanta and Houston. Tickets go on sale to the public on Friday, February 19. For more information and tickets, please visit PlatformTickets.com.
“This past year has been so difficult for so many of us,” Jobe noted. “We had no idea that the timing of ‘The Blessing’ would fall at such an incredibly sensitive time for our globe. I have cried so many times watching different people all over the world declare this song over their families, their churches, and their nations. It has been so sweet. I am so grateful that His promises are promises of peace and strength.”
In order to allow for a safe experience for everyone, the tour is implementing socially distanced and/or reserved COVID seating and capacity at each venue. Additionally, tour members will be tested and all persons entering will be subject to temperature checks in addition to other local standards and requirements.
“There have only been a few times we’ve been able to lead this song in a gathering,” Jobe continues, “so we’re so excited to finally be able to bring this song safely, live and in person to the Church! Looking forward to these nights of worship and I can’t wait to see what God continues to do in your cities. My prayer is that these nights will be filled with God’s presence and that you will walk away reminded that He is always for you and He is always with you.”
Written and released the week before the COVID pandemic hit the globe, Jobe co-wrote “The Blessing” with her husband and songwriter Cody Carnes and Steven Furtick And Chris Brown of Elevation Worship.
To say that the message behind the song was timely and resonated with thousands of people is no understatement, as it was the most consumed new CCM song of the year in 2020 and also won Worship Song of the Year at the GMA Dove Awards from last year. Likewise, the track received a GRAMMY Award nomination for Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song for “The Blessing (Live),” the video for which now has over 41 million views and has been included on the Viral 50, Global Viral 50 playlists at UNITED STATES from Spotify and Top 50 most popular songs on Pandora.
