Sidewalk Prophets brings Prodigal Tour to Auburn

Award-winning Christian music band to perform March 11

The Sidewalk Prophets, a contemporary Christian music band from Nashville, Tenn., brings its Prodigal Tour to Auburn for a March 11 concert.

The program begins at 7 p.m. at Grace Community Church, 1320 Auburn Way S.

The tour is in partnership with The Mocha Club, a nonprofit organization the band has passionately supported since visiting the Democratic Republic of The Congo in 2011 and seeing the group’s work first-hand in caring for the needs of the area.

The tour comes on the heels of another successful year for the band as its latest album, Something Different, has garnered rave reviews from fans and critics. The album has already notched two radio hits, “Prodigal,” and “To Live Is Christ,” and a third single, Impossible,” is at Christian radio now.

The centerpiece of the tour is Wander Creative’s suspenseful yet powerful short film, “The Prodigal,” which was written by Sidewalk Prophets co-founder Ben McDonald along with Matt Hadley.

The interactive experience tour also offers unique attention to detail. Audience members will see a venue transformed to take them on a journey, weaving together scenes from the short film with the band’s music. The night culminates in a powerful moment of prayer.

Tickets are $10 general admission; $25 early entry; $40 after-party VIP.
