It’s Artist Newsday and today we focused on NEEDTOBREATHE’s tour along with the rising duo Apollo LTD!
NEEDTOBREATHE has announced the Nashville, TN tour titled Into The Mystery Tour will be livestreamed on October 29th, 2021 at 10:00PM EDT. This marks the band’s first-ever headline performance at Bridgestone Arena.
The tour kicked off in early September where artist Switchfoot joined the band. The Into The Mystery tour will travel across the U.S. before wrapping up at the end of October. You can go to NEEDTOBREATHE’S website for more information.
Apollo LTD have earned their first number 1 hit with their summer song “Sunday Morning Feeling” with Ryan Stevenson. The song was showcased on their second album together “Nothing is Ordinary, Everything is Beautiful”.
The song from the duo of Jordan Phillips and Adam Stark also gained national attention, appearing in an ESPN commercial from Baylor University during their college football game against Texas State on September 4th.
Following the song’s recent success, Apollo LTD sat down with Hoganson Media to share their reactions.
“We are excited to see ‘Sunday Morning Feeling’ connect with radio and its audiences like it has. It’s been quite a journey for us,” shares Stark. “We are very grateful for the hard work of our label, radio team and management, and are especially thankful for the all the listeners that have supported us.”
“And working with Ryan on this song was an honor,” Phillips added. “His voice, talent and contribution made it such a special song. We’ve also loved getting to know him and his band on the road and sharing the stage with him this summer!”
Despite many artists traveling in the coming months, Apollo LTD has yet to announce a tour, but you can go to weareapolloltd.com to keep up to date.

Today, we gave updates on some of your favorite Christian artists. This week? TobyMac and Bethel Music are in the news!
TobyMac released his brand new single, “Promised Land” this past Friday. This song from the seven time Grammy Award Winner serves as a follow up to his previous single “Help is on the Way”, that sat #1 on the charts for multiple weeks at launch.
Also on Friday, TobyMac simultaneously premiered the music video on Facebook in honor of his grandfather, a miner in West Virginia, where TobyMac’s own father grew up in a mining camp. “It was a hard life,” he says. “A life where I imagine they must have really wondered where in the world is my promised land?”
Ultimately, he says of the song, “The lyrics land where I want my life to land: that the promised land is no land at all, but a relationship with the King that loves us deeply. It turns from where’s my promised land, to you’re my promised land. Maybe the promised land we’re looking for is no place at all, but a person named Jesus.”
TobyMac takes the road once again this fall for his “Hits Deep” tour in Moline, IL on October 2nd. Tickets go on sale this Thursday, September 23rd and can be found at https://tobymac.com/tour.
Bethel Music will release their new album Homecoming this Friday! This album marks the first time all members of the collective are on one album. Also joining them will be Gable Price, Matt Redman, and Naomi Raine, among others.
Reflecting on recording Homecoming, Jonathan David Helser shares “during the live recording of “Homecoming” my heart was stirred with the image of building an altar. Each song was like a stone stacked upon each other and as we poured out our offering of worship, God’s presence came like fire on the altar. My dream for this album is that many more hearts would come to this altar of songs and encounter the Presence of God and be changed forever.”
I don’t know what it’s like to be you You don’t know what it’s like to be me What if we’re all the same in different kinds of ways? Can you, can you _______?
