After going to Winter Jam last month, and then the Tobymac Hits Deep tour this month, I have been thinking about who I would want to see at next year's Winter Jam. Here is my ideal list of artists:
1. Newsong
As the founding members of the tour, it would not be Winter Jam without them.
2. Newsboys
After seeing both God's Not Dead and God's Not Dead 2, I have seen a bit of their infectious stage presence. It would be great to get to see it live next year.
3. Lauren Daigle
She was one of the artists I was most looking forward to seeing at this year's Winter Jam, but unfortunately, she got the flu and was unable to sing at a few of the venues, including here in Wichita. I would be very pleased if she would come back to the tour next year for those of us who missed her this year.
4. Colton Dixon
American Idol was cruel enough to schedule their live series finale opposite the Hits Deep Tour's appearance in Wichita. While I was upset at first that he was going to be there instead of at the concert, I quickly came to realize that being on the American Idol finale would expose a new group of people to his music, some of who may not know the freedom of believing in Christ. However, having this perspective doesn't change the fact that I would enjoy seeing him live, so I would like to see him as one of the artists in next year's Winter Jam.
5. Tenth Avenue North
I have been a fan of this group since the first time I heard them, and my enjoyment of them increases with each new song they put out. However, I have not yet had the chance to see them live, and I think Winter Jam would be a great place to see them.
6. Jordan Feliz
He may be new to the Christian music scene, but with the infectious single "The River," he entered it with a bang. The obvious next step is being a part of a tour like Winter Jam with sold out crowds singing along every night.
7. Casting Crowns
This is another group that I instantly loved, but haven't seen live yet. Their unique blend of worship songs and songs that challenge us to be the best representatives of God we can be would be a great addition to Winter Jam.
8. Big Daddy Weave
One of my favorite parts of Winter Jam is when everyone in the auditorium starts singing along to part of an artist's song. I could easily see this happening with either "My Story" or "Redeemed," and I want them to be a part of Winter Jam next year so it can.
9. Audio Adrenaline
The one time I saw this group in concert was on their "farewell tour" back in 2006. Now they're back with some new band members, and it would be great to see them again.
10. Hawk Nelson
Their latest album, Diamonds, has a number of songs that are catchy and fun to sing along to. It would be great to be singing them along with other fans instead of only in the privacy of my own car.
Are there any artists you would like to see on the tour next year? Feel free to add them to the comments.
