Tomorrow evening, the Bryce Jordan Center will host a group that sings to a more religious tune.

Chris Tomlin, the Gospel Music Association's Artist and Male Vocalist of the Year, will be headlining at 7:30. Opening performances include Matt Redman, the Christian worship leader and musician and Louie Giglio, pastor and inspirational speaker.

Tomlin and Giglio have been on their tour, titled "How Great is Our God," since January 21. Bernie Punt, director of public relations for the BJC, said tickets have been selling well. Punt said seating had to be expanded by another 2,000 seats to meet demand. He said this particular show is proving there's a definite fanbase for contemporary Christian artists.

"There's a broad appeal here," Punt said. "People, from age 15 to 35, are interested in this show."

Whitney Book (freshman-business) reiterated that Tomlin's music attracts a unique audience.

"I'm really excited for this show, because Chris Tomlin and his band play a variety of music ... they're appealing to more than just one group of people."

The Christian-pop singer is touring to promote his recent album, See the Morning. The album's worship songs are often turned into church hymns that are used by youth groups, Karina Barton (junior-music education) said.

Barton will be attending the concert, along with her on-campus youth group.

Barton, who has already seen Tomlin perform at a church retreat back home, said she expects the show to be "very motivational and definitely uplifting."

Barton expressed enthusiasm for having more religious artists perform at Penn State.

"When I first got up here, I felt like this place was a really religiously dead area," Barton said. "It really shocked me, and put me away... so I really like how they're bringing more Christian singers in."

Book agreed. "I personally think it's exciting for a secular school to be bringing a contemporary Christian artist to campus," Book said. "It's definitely a good thing."
