Vashawn Mitchell In Concert
Gospel music is all about communion with a higher power, and some artists need only a moment to take audiences to that elevated place. With his powerful voice and songs of humility, forgiveness, praise, and dedication, Vashawn Mitchell delivers. The Chicago-born, Atlanta-based singer-songwriter-producer-musical director is one of the brightest lights in worship music today.
Along with his own originals — pop-inflected modern gospel hits like "My Worship Is For Real (Believe In Your Dreams)," "Turning Around For Me (Created 4 This)," "Don't Last (Promises)," and the Grammy-nominated "Nobody Greater (Triumphant)" — he's penned and produced songs for talented peers such as Smokie Norful ("Just Can't Stop"), Vanessa Bell Armstrong ("Help") and Bishop Paul S. Morton ("Cry Your Last Tear"). Recording seven albums in a career that's not even two decades old, Mitchell is clearly on a mission.
Mitchell demonstrates his devotion with his most recent release, 2016's ‘My Special Place,' which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Gospel Chart. He recorded the album in South Africa, the country he considers his second home. It's a true collaborative exchange of musical ideas, embracing South African and Afro-Caribbean harmonies and melodies throughout.
Guests include American vocalists BeBe Winans and Tasha Cobbs, as well as South African gospel star Rev. Benjamin Dube on the Zulu worship song "Siyakudumisa." The album's first single — the infectious, poignant "Joy" — has become one of Mitchell's signature tunes.
As ‘My Special Place' makes clear, Mitchell's live performances are high-energy, uplifting celebrations of life under God. On stage he's joined by a band of R&B veterans, who lend a distinctly radio-ready polish to his songs, and a chorus of backing vocalists. Whether he's playing worship houses or concert halls, Mitchell conveys infectious energy and righteous duty, giving everything of himself to both the audience and the Almighty.
Vashawn is the absolutely most phenomenal person I know to go outside the box and take a LIVE recording straight to the CASINO!! No one else I know in the Gospel Music Industry would do such and that alone was absolutely amazing to me! Loved every moment!! If given the opportunity I’d do it again!
All seats seamed to have a great view of the stage. Venue appears to be great place to host a concert or program needing stage, sound and lighting. Lights and sound outstanding. Vashawn Mitchell, band and back up singers were excellent. Only complaint I have is with the chairs and number of seats placed on the lower level they call the "MIX". Chairs were small, but comfortable for a 2 hr. program. There were too many chairs per row to be comfortable and actively participate in the service/program. People were shoulder to shoulder, cheek to cheek (lower). I'm not sure how the seating was in the upper and other areas of the Sound Board. My wife and I still enjoyed every bit of it. I think I would choose different seats if I return.
Good show overall but ran too long. Vashawn Mitchell did not get on stage until 10:15 or 10:30...everything felt rushed. Left at 10:40.
Every performance was a true moment of worship and a opportunity to give God praise. It was so nice for this event to honor the legacies of some gospel greats who have made their heavenly exits: Albertina Walker, Jesse Dixon and Delores Barrett Campbell. I drove in from Schaumburg but it was worth the drive. The ministry at the end by Vashawn Mitchell was so powerful; it offer many in the place a "break-through moment".
that was a awesome show. one of the best gospel show i have went to.
I did enjoy the CLC Salute to Gospel with Vashawn Mitchell. The performance of everyone was very good. I don't hink you should try and introduce people during intermission time, for people were engaged in their own conversations, going to the concession stand and bathrooms. I think you should not wait until 10:00 to put up the main singer, by that time, some people left and it's not fair, for I believe their reason for attending was to see Vashawn Mitchell.
