NASHVILLE, Dec. 2, 2021 /Christian Newswire/ -- Premier Productions announces Matthew West's The Brand New Tour with special guests Anne Wilson, CAIN, Jordan Feliz and Hannah Kerr. The tour will span 34 cities as audiences experience the excitement and energy of Matthew West's post-pandemic return to the stage.

"I am so excited to hit the road this spring on The Brand New Tour with an awesome lineup of talented artists and friends," said Matthew West. "After the disappointment of COVID concert cancellations and postponements, I'm feeling like a kid again. I can't believe I get to do what I do for a living, getting on a tour bus and playing live music for people. It all feels brand new again and I can't wait! Most importantly though, this world has been through a hard season like I've never witnessed. I'm praying that each night on this tour will be a powerful reminder for all who attend that we serve a God who promises to do a new thing! It's a brand new year, a brand new beginning and a brand new tour! Let's go!"

This tour brings along two of the hottest new artists in Christian music as opening acts. Anne Wilson released her breakout debut single "My Jesus" earlier this year, which reached number one on Billboard's Hot Christian Songs chart while her debut album of the same name reached number twelve on the Top Christian Albums Chart. CAIN joins the tour after their single "Rise Up (Lazarus)" reached number one on the Billboard Airplay Chart and won the 2021 K-Love Fan Award for Breakout Single. Their debut album, by the same name, debuted at number 20 on Billboard's Top Christian Albums Chart.

"This February, I am honored to be able to hit the road with my good friend Matthew West for the Brand New Tour," said Anne Wilson. "We are excited to bring a great show, a great message and a great time lifting up Jesus together to so many cities around the country!"

"Matthew has been a great friend and supporter of ours from day one," said CAIN. "He's part of our family and family is so important to us. We are so excited to be able to join him on the Brand New Tour this spring."

About Anne Wilson:
Singer/songwriter Anne Wilson knows the healing power of music firsthand. The lyrics of Hillsong Worship's "What A Beautiful Name" became a lifeline for the Lexington, Kentucky native after her brother was tragically killed in a car accident at the age of 23. Although she spent much of her childhood behind a piano, Wilson sang in front of an audience for the first time at her brother's funeral. It was in that moment that she realized what she was born to do. A video of her moving performance organically circulated, eventually landing her a record deal. With a mesmerizing voice and a visible hunger for Jesus, the 19-year-old relies on personal journal entries and time spent in nature for songwriting inspiration. Her rootsy sound reflects her strong southern upbringing and her admiration for country royalty like Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton married with the heart-on-your-sleeve transparency of Steffany Gretzinger and Lauren Daigle. Wilson's introductory track, "My Jesus"—which she co-wrote with Jeff Pardo and Matthew West—is a warm invitation to experience her Savior in the same intimate way she knows Him. She's currently working on a debut three-track single—also titled My Jesus—for Capitol Christian Music Group.

About CAIN:
CAIN is a Christian country trio composed of Taylor, Madison and Logan Cain and signed to Provident Label group. Raised in Alabama the kids of pastors, CAIN developed a love for music from an early age. By elementary school, they were integrated into the church service, playing and singing side-by-side, but never pursued music in a serious way. When a college friend alerted them to a contest hosted by Dave Barnes, the prize an opening slot at the Workplay Theater in Birmingham, they quickly worked up a cover of Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" and shot a video. Over an eight-week period, the trio kept advancing to the next round, entering more cover songs and videos, until they finally won. After signing with Provident Label Group, the band was able to pour their heart and soul into making the kind of music they'd always wanted to make. The band's first single, "Rise Up (Lazarus)" went No.1 at Christian radio.
