| Sandi Patty |
 Concert Artist Celebrators™ in Sevierville, Tennessee Celebrators™ in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee No other Christian artist at work today is better suited to sing about life’s journey than Sandi Patty. Still bursting with creative energy and magnetic talent three decades into her career, the Gospel Music Hall of Fame inductee with 39 Dove Awards, five Grammy Awards, and an armload of platinum and gold albums has seen professional peaks and personal valleys alike while in the spotlight, all of them tempered by the grace of God. “I have a lot of life experience,” she says, understating what is truly a legend’s history.Now these defining moments are shared with a deep wisdom on Songs for the Journey, featuring eleven dynamic new performances from Sandi purposefully chosen to reflect her walk in faith from childhood through today. Listeners are sure to recognize their own stories among the selections, connecting with the struggles, joy, and peace along the way. “The idea for this project came from watching my kids get older,” explains Sandi, mother of eight. “I recently began to wonder and hope about what things they will someday look back upon as being foundational in their lives. Then I asked the same question of myself in relation to my passion for music—what are the songs that have inspired me and come to represent my journey, and how can I give those back to others as an encouragement?” The resounding answer is Songs for the Journey, a lovingly crafted achievement that’s as diverse and entertaining as Sandi Patty herself. While previous releases displayed her gift for singing hymns, pop, gospel, Broadway, and even opera, none have ever combined these styles into one grand expression as pleasing and effective as this one.
