About

Grammy-nominated Marvin Sapp credits the entirety of his pop culture success to his faith, a power that served as the sole inspiration behind his 2012 participation in the Kings Men tour — not to mention his best-selling 2007 release, Thirsty. After achieving success with this breakthrough album, Sapp proceeded to further spread his faith by pursuing a speaking tour, as well as a live recording of several fan favorites at churches and cathedrals across the country. Sapp’s performances has fans on their feet, swaying side to side to his slow, yet inspirational  lyrics. In 2009, the gospel singer followed up his huge breakthrough album by recording "Here I Am" live at Wyoming, Michigan's Resurrection Life Church. More recently, he's followed a similar concert album route with the release of "I Win," a touching collection recorded at Evangel Cathedral near Washington, D.C.

Although largely unrecognized until his 2007 spiral to fame, Marvin Sapp's musical career hails back to 1991, when he joined gospel group Commissioned as one of the lead vocalists and participated in three major albums as well as an extensive American tour. In 1996, Sapp broke away from Commissioned in hopes of launching a solo career, thus beginning the eleven-year journey that ultimately led to 2007's Thirsty. Since that first major record success, Sapp's achievements have included BET's Best Gospel Artist in 2008 and 2010, plus multiple Grammy nominations in 2013. His late 2013 plans included taking the same faith-based approach to music responsible for his many awards, album accolades and ticket sales, infusing the traditional gospel approach with his distinctive contemporary style.

    Different

    by Lon on 11/11/22The Louisville Palace - Louisville

    Sound too loud or speakers couldn’t hear the lyrics being sung. Just a little overwhelming and it could be cause I haven’t been to a concert in some time. As for Mr. Marvin I will give him a B+

    The Sound over powered the artist.

    by JC on 11/3/22The Louisville Palace - Louisville

    LeAndria, should of never been brought on the stage. Her management knew her circumstances prior to the concert. Promoters have to do better

    by Carla on 11/1/22The Louisville Palace - Louisville

    Had a really good time. Much respect for Min. Sapp for the way he handled an awkward situation at the concert at the Louisville Palace this past Friday.

    I was very disappointed

    by Mollie on 11/1/22The Louisville Palace - Louisville

    I was very appalled first that alcohol was served at a gospel concert. Now I am not saying that alcohol cannot be served at certain venues, but for a gospel concert we did not need any extra false spirits at this concert. I was also undone with the performance of Ms. Johnson. I felt like she was under the influence and should have been pulled from the performance when it became apparent that she could not do what I paid to see. People were booing her and screaming for her to sing. The fact that she made a comment that "she did not come to perform" was an indicator that she should have been stopped instead of allowing her to go on for more than an hour with nonsense. Marvin Sapp came out and did address the concern that everyone was thinking. That is not good enough. He then went on to perform using track music which I did not appreciate. I think I paid too much money to listen to a performer who used track music. When you hear the guitar and then see that the guitarist is not even strumming you know it is track music. My 4 tickets for 310.00 dollars was a real waste.

    Praise

    by Nursebee on 11/1/22The Louisville Palace - Louisville

    Mostly everyone did a fantastic job, except L. Johnson, not going to judge but she really needs our prayers right now may God strengthen her and help her in her time of need. Marvin Sapp More than made up for it and the speech that he gave along with the prayer that he prayed show me that he is a true man of God.

    Enjoyed the singing.

    by Debbie on 10/30/22Clowes Memorial Hall - Indianapolis

    I wish Marvin would have used background singers,. The bass in the recordings was too loud and hard sounding. I also don't think beer and wine should have been sold in the lobby. It was a Gospel concert, disrespect to those of us who truly serve God..

    No Background Singers

    by Mrs. P on 10/30/22Clowes Memorial Hall - Indianapolis

    They dressed like they just off the tour bus and Indy was a rehearsal. Le'Andria put on fuzzy purple house slippers and her outfit was horrible but she did have background singers. We were just a rehearsal, quick stop for them. Marvin didn't even have background singers. So disappointing and his too tight shirt, jeans and sneakers. Never again will I go see either one of them.

    Louisville Palace, Louisville Ky

    by Sina on 10/29/22

    This was my first live Gospel Concert and it was a huge disappointment. Leandria Johnson was under the influence of something and arrived in a short tank top, shinny leggings, house shoes and uncombed hair as if she just got out of bed.. She walked around the audience talking more than singing. Better Days and Donald Lawrence Deliver Me were her familiar songs. The other 2 songs were not even related to her brand at all and she told the audience she wasn't going to show up because she goes through alot in life. I'm still a fan of her music however I will never pay to attend a live performance again. Marvin Sapp is an awesome singer but puts minimal effort into showmanship. He had no backup singers and used a very very loud soundtrack to sing over. There was no stage effects/decor at all. A very lifeless performance! Mr. Sapp was also dressed in jeans and a shirt like he had been shopping at Sams Club before his performance. His presentation reminded me of the gospel songs used in Tyler Perry plays. I was so hyped before the show and spent $150 each for three seats. Take my advice and save your money. These two artist did not compliment each other at all. The energy was off as if they were playing church. The performance wasn't authentic and for both artist it felt like showing up was just a money grab. I didn't feel inspired or anything leaving the show when Gospel music is supposed to feed your soul. Save your money and continue to watch these artist on youtube.

    Disappointed

    by E. A. on 5/20/22Greensboro Coliseum Complex - Greensboro

    Disappointed Greensboro Coliseum Complex - Greensboro I love Marvin Sapp’s music, but I was disappointed in the concert. I was expecting him to perform more of his current music and he performed music from his old albums. I’m not sure why he chose to do that. It may be because he did not have live backup singers, and he was relying on pre-recorded back up singer music that he has performed before.
