Carrie Underwood Announces Special ‘My Savior’ Concert Event For Easter Sunday
Carrie Underwood will be performing her new album, My Savior, in a virtual live streaming event from Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium on Easter Sunday, April 4.
Underwood will be bringing the new album to life and performing the gospel hymns she grew up singing for this special concert event, which will benefit Save the Children. The free concert streaming globally on Underwood’s Facebook page will also feature special appearances by CeCe Winans, who duets with Underwood on “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” and singer-songwriter Bear Rinehart, frontman of the rock band NEEDTOBREATHE, who joins her on another traditional hymn, “Nothing But The Blood Of Jesus.” Southern gospel and harmonica legend Buddy Greene and 10-time CMA Musician of the Year Mac McAnally, both of whom played on the album, will also appear with Underwood.
“This is an album I have always wanted to record and I’m thrilled to be able to bring these uplifting, inspirational songs to life in this special way,” says Underwood. “It means so much to be able to bring this event to people in their homes on a day that holds so much meaning for us spiritually and to be able to raise much needed funds and awareness for the incredible work of Save the Children as we celebrate the importance of family.”
Fans can RSVP via Facebook here and “My Savior: Live From The Ryman” will remain exclusively on Facebook for 48 hours. Donations will be accepted throughout the streaming event and for 48 hours after for Save the Children, which works in over 100 countries to ensure that children grow up healthy, educated and safe. To date, Save the Children has supported 30 million people affected by coronavirus around the world, including nearly 12 million children, making sure they have enough to eat, can access healthcare, can continue their education and are protected from violence. Before COVID-19, one in seven children in the U.S. faced food insecurity, which has now increased to one in four. Since March 2020, Save the Children has delivered nearly 21 million meals to kids in need across the U.S.
My Savior will be released globally on CD and digitally March 26, and on vinyl April 30.
