NASHVILLE, Tenn. Following their successful pairing on the 30-city “Come Alive” Tour last fall, platinum-selling and Dove award-winning artists Mark Schultz and Point of Grace will hit the road together again this spring for an additional 25 cities. Pulling from their expansive repertoires, both artists will perform a collection of fan favourites, while Schultz will also play songs from his celebrated fifth studio release Come Alive, and Point of Grace will play selections from both their current, critically-acclaimed How You Live as well as their upcoming brand new release No Changin’ Us (March 2). 
 
Kicking off on February 26, in Appleton, Wis., the “Come Alive” Tour will journey across the country and into Canada, with concerts in Texas, Arizona, Washington, Oregon, Utah, Wyoming, Michigan, Illinois, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, Vancouver (BC) and more. A current list of tour dates can be found at www.MarkSchultzMusic.com or www.PointOfGrace.net.
 
“Being out on the road traveling, connecting and worshipping with so many people is something I always look forward to,” says Schultz.  “I hope to see a lot of old friends out on the road and make a lot of new friends as we head out west in a few short weeks for the continuation of the ‘Come Alive’ Tour.”
 
“We are so excited to continue the ‘Come Alive’ tour with Mark Schultz,” adds Shelley Breen of Point of Grace. “This spring we will be able to share new songs from our brand new record, No Changin’ Us. The evening is such a ministry-oriented, yet fun-filled, bring-the-whole-family event. We loved Mark’s music long before the fall leg of this tour; now we have come to love his heart for people even more! The girls and I can’t wait to see everyone this spring out on the road.”
 
About Mark Schultz

One of Christian music’s most acclaimed singer/songwriters, Schultz’s first new studio album in nearly three years, Come Alive, is also his most personal recording to date, inviting listeners to “come alive” through these songs birthed by stories of hope, loss, joy and redemption. Pulling from real life experiences, the songs on Come Alive were inspired by families dealing with cancer, special needs and through Schultz‘s coast-to-coast bicycle ride that raised over $250,000 to benefit the James Fund, which provides assistance for widows and orphans. Produced by Brown Bannister (Amy Grant, Third Day, CeCe Winans), Shaun Shankel (Beyoncé, Hilary Duff), Bernie Herms (Natalie Grant, Avalon) and Paul Mills (Third Day, Bluetree), the album also features collaborations with such hit making songwriters as Bart Millard and Barry Graul of Mercy Me, Matthew West, Joy Williams and Herms.
 
Lauded at No. 1 on Billboard’s “Hot Christian Adult Contemporary Songwriters” list and with nine No. 1 radio hits, Schultz’s celebrated career highlights include being the centerpiece of the U.S. Army campaign “Letters From War,” named Christian Music Today’s Male Vocalist in 2003, and featured on the national TV programs, 48 Hours, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, CNN and more. His 2005 release, Mark Schultz Live…A Night of Stories & Songs, sold RIAA certified Platinum and garnered Schultz his first GMA Dove Award.
