Yes, A Pastor is Opening for LA Guns at the Whisky on NYE
Christian rock can sometimes feel like playing a game of Mad Libs… Switchfoot announces a tour alongside Lit and Fuel. Just a year ago it would’ve felt strange to hear Brandon Lake releases new single with Jelly Roll. However, faith-adjacent artists stepping onto stages that once felt off-limits is what makes our unique form of entertainment so special. If we are to be the light in the darkness, you have to take some big swings.
