Contemporary Christian star Brandon Lake to play Xcel Energy Center in October

posted in: News | 0

Contemporary Christian star Brandon Lake has extended his Tear Off the Roof Tour and added an Oct. 13 stop at St. Paul’s Xcel Energy Center.

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. June 3 through Ticketmaster. A presale is available to fans who sign up at brandonlake.co/roof. Neither the promoter nor the venue announced ticket prices.

Lake, 33, grew up in South Carolina, where his father was a pastor. He taught himself how to play guitar using YouTube clips and, as a teen, accompanied the worship team at his church.

In 2015, he used GoFundMe to raise $23,000 to record his debut album “Closer,” which he self-released the following year.

He went on to sign a deal with Bethel Music and saw his version of Tasha Cobbs Leonard’s “This Is a Move,” which he co-wrote with her, become his first charting single. It won a 2019 GMA Dove Award and earned a songwriting Grammy nomination.

In the years since, Lake has scored a series of Christian radio hits, including the chart toppers “Gratitude” and “Praise You Anywhere.” He has also won five Grammys for the songs “Kingdom” and “Fear Is Not My Future” and for the albums “Old Church Basement,” “Kingdom Book One Deluxe” and “Breathe.”

In June, Lake will publish the children’s book “Little Lion Lungs,” which he wrote with his wife Brittany.
