Despite enjoying consistent success while on tour throughout 2013, the last quarter of the year was especially memorable for contemporary Christian artist Matthew West, who was nominated for and won his first American Music Award, an achievement that was voted for by fans. He is currently headlining The Story Tour, and will support TobyMac beginning spring 2014. As a live performer, West treats ticket buyers to an energetically delivered mix of old and new material, supplemented with heartfelt stories that demonstrate how he has a heart for helping others, either by inspiring them through music, or partnering with charities and encouraging fans to follow suit. His most recent album Into the Light peaked at No. 51 on the Billboard 200 and No. 4 on the Christian Albums chart.
West began his musical career with writing songs in his father's church and later felt Jesus was calling him to become a performing artist. When not captivating fans in concert venues around the nation, West occasionally stretches his acting muscles by participating in Christian television and film productions. He has been nominated for eight GMA Dove Awards, winning the Recorded Music Packaging of the Year Award in 2005 for his album Happy. In November 2013, West earned the American Music Award for Best Contemporary Inspirational Artist. West's albums, Happy, History, Something to Say, The Story of Your Life, and Into the Light have all graced the Christian Albums chart. West released his most recent album in September 2012 and used it to visit deep topics, like domestic abuse, offering forgiveness after a devastating loss and drug addiction. All those subjects, and others, were discussed in letters written by fans that kindled the creative process and helped the album become an effort that's instantly relatable and genuine.
Matthew West concert was awesome. It was a great experience considering it was my first christian concert. I loved it!!
awesome show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
had a great time at the concert and matthew west is a humble man of GOD.
Mathew West was very inspiring and most definitely God was speaking through him. I would highly recommend going to listen to his words of encouragement and praise to our Father. Even though the location and event center was not very good Mathew performed at his finest.
Awesome! The Best concert ever! My family and I had a wonderful and blessed time.
Absolutely AMAZING &AWESOME!!! Highly recommended.
Heard this guy a few years ago in Salt Lake City for the first time. Since then, I've followed his career/ministry and am really impressed with his desire to communicate the gospel message in a compelling way to those who are hurting or in need (and who among us hasn't been?). We all have a story, and Matthew is a gifted songwriter and storyteller. And he can sing too! I was most impressed with his desire to really connect with the audience....in a transparent and very real way. His closing invitation to anyone who is searching, to come and find the Answer, was a great way to conclude an awesome evening of story sharing and worship.
This was a really fun concert! The Adler Theater is really nice too!
Enjoyed testimonies & how Matthew put them to music. Liked videos.
The opening acts were awesome, and Matthew West was soo good. He interacted with the audience, and gave us all a show that we will never forget. He is very talented, along with the rest of his band. His music is inspirational.
I loved the music and I like it loud. This however was painful!
My family has hosted at least 20 Christian concerts in the last 5 years and we have been to many other concerts and this was at or near the top of any Christian concerts we have experienced! It was high energy, amazing sound quality and of course meaningful lyrics in all the songs. I was especially impressed with the way the team put together the whole event in a way that really made an environment for the Holy Spirit to impact hearts. Whoever did the powerpoint displays did an incredible job of coordinating the lights and the visuals on the screen along with the lyrics and feel of the songs. The lyrics were presented line by line but in truly unique and very professional ways that made the whole evening like a 3-D reality effect. Like more than the parts...the whole was truly impacting. Souls were saved, lives changed. There was even an altar call at the end and Matthew brought in people who were the impetus(inspiration) for the songs on his new album and had them testify of how the Lord has worked in their lives. That was powerful and again made it all more than a musical worship experience...lots of dynamic things going on. A three and a half hour evening very well spent! I would say that I left feeling very proud of the team including the Anthem staff who sponsored the event. Well done!!!
Such an awesome night to sing, worship, and hear great God stories! We don't hear this enough. Seriously, such a great night!
Amazing! All of the artists did an incredible job singing their message. Matthew's music ministry keeps getting better and better! Blessings to all of the artists and their families!
Matthew West is an incredible songwriter and performer! This concert was awesome! Very uplifting and fun!
This is unlike any concert I have ever been to. Matthew West asked people to send them their stories and send them they did. He chose a handful of stories and wrote songs for each one. The lyrics are thoughtful and powerful, the melodies are beautiful and memorable. I was still humming them the next day! The presentation was unique,; a videographer captured several stories told by the people who lived them. The videos played and then Matthew and his band performed the song he wrote for them. It was quite moving. I would definately recommend this concert. Anybody who loves singer songwriters will especially appreciate this concert
Matthew West was incredible! He was so much more goofy than I thought he would be, but in a fun way.
Matthew West is one of the best singers I've ever heard. His stories and songs are inspiring and glorify God. He introduced his family to the crowd which was very cool. He also had several of the people that were the inspirations for his stories and songs on stage with him. Very moving!
INCREDIBLE ! Matthew is the most amazing, talented and humble guy! A joy to watch !
Inspirational and uplifting night! I went away with a new passion for making a difference in my life and the life of others.
