Lauren Daigle returns to Ohio!

Today for Artist News Day we shared exciting things going on in the Christian music industry!

First, Lauren Daigle has been announced for the Ohio State Fair this Summer! The show will be July 29th at 7pm. The Morning Thing will be giving away tickets this week to the Fair Concert! You can find more information HERE!

Mike also talked about Jeremy Camp and his recent heart surgery. The surgery was successful, and he is now at home recovering. Camp underwent surgery March 11 to treat atrial fibrillation (AFib), a condition where the heart rhythm becomes irregular and often rapidly beats, leading to symptoms like difficulty in breathing and reduced ability to function normally. In fact, the surgery went so well that he will be back on tour next week!

Newsboys also have some exciting news! Click here to learn more from our friends at JesusFreakHideout.com.

Go tell the world about me
I was dead but now I live
I’ve gotta go now for a little while
But goodbye is not the end

Congratulations to Linda from Utica, who correctly guessed CAIN with ‘The Commission.’ She wins the $5 gift card to Watts Restaurant, also in Utica!

Congratulations to Cynthia for being the first caller and winning a pair of WinterJam passes to the Cincinnati show taking place on March 24!

Thanks for listening!

Dove Awards Recap

Today was Who Knew Wednesday on the Afternoon Drive and I focused on our artists.

I shared several stories behind the songs from some of your favorite artists, and I also gave you some of the results from the 2016 Dove Awards that took place last night.

Lauren Daigle was the big winner of the night, taking home the awards for Artist of the Year and Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song Of The Year for Trust In You. You can find the complete list of winners over here.

Our word of the day was opuscule (ō-ˈpəs-(ˌ)kyül), a noun meaning a small or petty work. You can read more on that here.

Have a great Wednesday evening!
