American contemporary Christian musician Michael W. Smith is one of a select number of Christian artists who have managed to achieve crossover success with mainstream audiences. His brand of spiritual adult contemporary pop, along with several instrumental worship and Christmas albums, have made him a favorite among fans seeking to embrace the holiday spirit and celebrate their faith through music. On his 20th studio album, 2011’s Glory, Smith enlisted a 65-piece orchestra to produce his most soaring collection of instrumental spiritual songs yet, landing him at No. 8 on the Christian Albums chart. Smith made his solo debut in 1983 with the Grammy-nominated The Michael W. Smith Project, releasing several more successful albums in the ‘80s before achieving mainstream success with hit single “Place in This World" from 1990's Go West Young Man. He is the recipient of three Grammy awards, including two Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album awards for I’ll Lead You Home (1995) and Worship Again (2002). On tour in 2013, Smith has been wowing fans with his truly collective live concert, inviting ticket buyers to sing along to his impressive array of spiritual and holiday songs.

I drove for four hours to attend the concert and I loved every minute of it. MWS, you are awesome and I just wanna say God bless you.
Phil Stacey and Natalie Grant were great. Michael .... "just playing his piano and singing some of his favorites" .... AWESOME. God has given him a great gift. I thank Him for sharing with all that were present on Friday evening. It was a true time of worship and praise.
Micheal W. Smith's concerts are something to be experienced
Michael W. Smith is Awesome!! He definitely connects with the audience and his voice is outstanding. Many times concerts don't sound as good as the recorded version. That is not the case with Smitty. His voice is even better in person. He ministers to the audience both with his music and his words. I love that he does some piano solo with him singing without the band. Awesome Awesome Awesome!! Not sure what else to say.
An amazing evening celebrating the gift of life under a full moon and gentle night breezes. Jesus was surely among us as we joined together to enjoy the bedazzling talent of Michael W. Smith and company! Rocking sound, powerful acoustics and a positive message (for a change) ! A wonderful way to beat the economic blues and refocus on what's most important in life.!! Alleluia
My 10th MWS concert and I was again blown away Here's to next time
Michael W. Smith is multi talented. The Lord was present at DTE ( Pine Knob ) that night. It Rocked !
What a powerful night of music and worship! I have never been to such a wonderful show at DTE, and I have been going to concerts there for over 25 years!
It never grows old to see Michael W. Smith perform, praise, and worship the One and Almighty. It is truly amazing to be able to worship with so many hundreds of like minded people. The ampitheater probably has some loose screws from all of the praise that was lifted High onto the Lord. His enthusiasm and genuineness is clearly written all over his face. I never want the awesome feeling to end.
This concert was amazing! I have no words to expplain the love, God's love that was shown and felt at this performance. It was cool just getting together with others, friends and strangers, praising and worshipping God together.
This is our 5th time going to see Michael W Smith and it was absolutely spirit filled and worth going. Michael is a wonderful instrument of God in sharing his love to all of us.
Smitty never lets his audience down! How he has so much energy amazes me--we are about the same age! He has blessed my life with his music over and over again! I was singing so loud that I lost my voice and my arms still hurt from clapping. I have been having a couple of rough weeks with family and work and his music keeps me grounded in what is really important in life--the love our Lord Jesus Christ! I enjoyed his flashback sequence--I'm old enough to remember them all. Audience participation is always key at a Smitty concert. It is just such an incredible feeling to be with so many people who love the Lord and the energy, love and praise that you feel. I didn't want it to end. Too bad Clarkston has a noise ordinance
The Michael W. Smith concert was truly incredible. Phil Stacy opened and he is fantastic. He was followed by Natalie Grant who put on an amazing show. When Michael took the stage, the crowd went wild. He is a truly gifted artist and strong in his faith in Christ. It was wonderful to enjoy worship music with fellow believers.
This was a wonderful evening at DTE. The message, music and venue combined for a memorable event.
The show last night was turly amazing! He played some old songs, which I appreciated because I saw him back in the 80's, he played some new songs which were great, and he played something from his instrumental album which I now have to get! To see that many people praising God in an outdoor venue was very moving! There were very young kids all the way up to people in their 70s and everywhere in between. What a totally awesome concert!
Great concert by Smitty. Fantastic as usual. Played songs from latest album but also some of his great songs from the past. He is a great song writer, musician and worshiper of Jesus.
Despite winds and torrential rain and hail at times - the show went on and the artists were simply great!!!
both micheal w smith and curtis stephan chapman were incredible. i loved their energy and love for God. if there was any problems it was with the promoter. we were sold seats that did not exist. access to the parking was a mud bog and wasn't till much later that the parking was accessable. however that was forgiveable once the artists came on stage.
The music and worship was fantastic. The only drawback on the whole evening was the weather. Thunderstorms put the start of the concert back and the temperature could have been a bit warmer. Unusual for a late July eveing in the Okanagan
