2X GRAMMY® nominee returns to Grand Ole Opry stage

Nashville, Tenn. (Nov. 10, 2016) - With sold out stops across the country including North Carolina, Minnesota, Louisiana, Pennsylvania and more, Crowder’s headlining “American Prodigal Tour” featuring Tedashii and The New Respects has wrapped its coast to coast trek. The 2X GRAMMY® nominee returned to the Grand Ole Opry stage the day following the tour. The sold-out Opry performances of “Run Devil Run” and “All We Sinners,” both found on Crowder’s latest record American Prodigal, took place at the historic Ryman Auditorium, birthplace of the Grand Ole Opry.

American Prodigal garnered a strong debut hitting No. 1 on the Christian & Gospel Albums Chart, No. 3 on the Digital Albums Chart, No. 5 on the Top Albums Billboard Chart and No. 12 on the Top 200 Billboard Chart. The album holds the top 10 radio hit “My Victory." NBC’s Sunday Night Football picked up on American Prodigal’s “Run Devil Run,” following the track's music video which features a car chase turned swamp race picked up by GAC, The Country Network and AXS TV. Alongside the critical acclaim and a street date performance on FOX & Friends, Crowder recently sat down with Relevant Magazine for a feature in their Nov./Dec. issue.

Crowder will continue touring throughout the U.S. as a headliner on both the Winter Jam Tour and the K-LOVE Christmas Tour. For the latest Crowder tour information, click here.
