AN EVENING OF MUSIC FOR A LIFETIME OF LEARNING
Enjoy an unforgettable evening of music and entertainment with long-time Christian singer-songwriter John Chisum and a fantastic array of his friends!
“An Evening with John Chisum & Friends” is going to be upbeat, fun, entertaining, worshipful, and diverse. Designed as an elegant evening at the historic downtown Franklin Theatre, John will be performing many of his classic hits backed by a top-shelf rhythm section and singers to support Hands Across the Sea, a children’s literacy organization serving over 850 schools in the Eastern Caribbean.
John is known for his humor and easy-going nature, as well as for decades of writing and recording his unique brand of praise and worship music. His songs have been recorded by many well-known worship leaders such as Don Moen, Ron Kenoly, the Gaither Vocal Band, and many others popular the world over.
His two Integrity Hosanna! Music recordings Firm Foundation (1994) and Come Expecting Jesus (2001) established him as a popular worship leader worldwide. Songs from these recordings have been woven into the fabric of worship globally, appearing in hymnals, and sung by thousands of churches and by innumerable worshipers.

ABOUT HANDS ACROSS THE SEA
All proceeds after expenses for this event will go to support Hands Across the Sea (handsacrossthesea.org), a children’s literacy organization that provides new books and other resources to over 850 schools and communities in the Eastern Caribbean.
