Van Wert independent/NPAC information

One of the Christian music industry’s most versatile voices, Texas-born David Phelps brings his glorious tenor voice to the Niswonger Performing Arts Center Sunday, November 27, at 7:30 p.m. for a special holiday show that is sure to start the Christmas season at the NPAC off on a high note. Tickets go on sale today at noon.

For more than a decade Phelps has honed the ability to identify and deliver great songs. Phelps has been nominated for six Dove awards including “Male Vocalist of the Year,” has recorded 11 albums to date and sang with the Gaither Vocal Band from 1998-2003, rejoining in 2009.  His masterful melodies have been burned into six award-winning Gaither Vocal Band CDs, five critically-acclaimed solo offerings, and well over 40 certified Gold and Platinum Gaither “Homecoming” collections.

Noted as a lyric tenor for his ability to sing in a high tessitura for sustained periods, Phelps has consistently garnered rave reviews for his three octave range. Beyond his obvious technical skill, what sets Phelps apart is the heart and emotional weight he brings to each performance. More than just a great singer, he has the ability to really connect with a lyric and convey every nuance of feeling in a great song.

When a visionary, like recording artist David Phelps, acknowledges the Divine in his life, the common events of every-day can turn into songs.  His countless stage performances, at an early age, prepared him to be the youngest winner of the ‘Seminar in the Rockies’ Competition, Christian music industry’s official talent competition for unsigned songwriters.  This competition has discovered artists like Chris Tomlin, Michael W. Smith and Barlow Girl and emphasizes the spiritual soul as well as the musical soul of the artist.  Looking back on David Phelps’ own legacy, so far, he has come a long way from Tomball, Texas. Over the greater part of the last two decades, David’s artistry has grown to echo off the walls of Carnegie Hall, and vibrate the chandeliers in the White House and in countless halls and churches around the world.

Phelps will bring a spectacular Christmas show, featuring both classic Christmas carols and some lesser known Christmas songs to the NPAC on November 27.  His powerful voice combined with the joyous music of Christmas is sure to be an event you won’t want to miss.
