The concert will be a non-ticketed love-offering event and will feature a night of worship music by two of worship’s most exciting and innovative artists. Desperation Band is known for delivering music that is both congregationally-friendly and full of rock ‘n’ roll attitude while Andrews’ style is a piano-based pop version of worship that earned her a New Artist Dove Award nomination last year. Together we will offer an engaging evening of music, but more importantly we will proclaim a desire to bring hope and freedom to the hopeless.

As part of the worship event, Desperation Band, Andrews and CEO Tom Davis will present the opportunity for audience members to become part of the movement to protect orphans and vulnerable children from sex trafficking and extreme poverty.

“We enjoy a freedom in Christ that conceives in us a compassion and desire to bring freedom to others,” says Desperation Band songwriter/vocalist Jon Egan. “We are rescued to rescue, redeemed to redeem. We can bring freedom to children, and that is the essential mission of the FREE TO LIVE Tour. We will embark on the tour with great expectations for powerful worship experiences in every city we visit, and we’re grateful that Meredith Andrews has agreed to bring her talent and heart along for the ride!”

“Children’s HopeChest is proud to align with artists of such integrity as Desperation Band and Meredith Andrews and we applaud their personal commitment to the issues so important to our organization. We know this tour will bring hope to many children around the globe,” said Tom Davis, CEO.
