Glory in the Highest Christmas Tour stops in The Woodlands

THE WOODLANDS, Texas - Ring in the Christmas season with Shane and Shane on Sunday, December 5, 2010 at 7 p.m. at Christ Church United Methodist located at 6363 Research Forest Drive in the Woodlands, next door to The Woodlands High School. Opening the concert will be Lindsay McCaul and Freely.

Shane and Shane will showcase music for the holiday season as well as fan favorites. Traveling around the country for the Glory in the Highest Tour, Christ Church United Methodist will be the 5th stop on their national tour.

Shane & Shane has cemented its status as one of contemporary Christian music's most consistent, compelling, and successful artists for nearly a decade. A staple on the fickle college circuit, the acoustic guitar-wielding duo has averaged 250-300 shows per year for most of its career. Between independent recordings, six studio releases, and a combo CD/DVD live project, its tally hovers around a half-million records sold. It would easy to let these statistics overshadow the essential reason Shane & Shane has come so far in the first place. "The ministry of Shane & Shane is to just tell people about Jesus," explains Shane Barnard with his characteristic Texan candor.

Among the most devotionally focused singer/songwriters of this generation, for Shane Barnard and Shane Everett, it all comes back to the creative source. "We always have a tendency to bring the scriptures into our songs," Barnard explains. "It happens naturally for us. It's not like we have a game plan, but we've always spent a lot of time in the Word of God. The Word of God is just so good - if you don't mess with it - it's hard to mess it up. I think this album, probably more than any other album we've done, is the Word of God set to music."

Tickets for the concert are available at Christ Church United Methodist. Ticket prices are $10 for student tickets (with valid student ID), $15 for general seating, $25 for reserved seating and $50 for VIP backstage passes and reserved seating.
