Winnipeg is hosting world-class blues Christian musician Glenn Kaiser alongside Robert Andreas in an evening of gospel blues. 

Glenn Kaiser is a Blues musician from Chicago, IL. He's toured his music all across Canada over his colourful music career.

A documentary about Brandon Lake and Phil Wickham's life on the road, and the faith that follows, is hitting theatres this fall.

"My hope for this project is that it would not only show what it takes to go on tour, but why the music and touring mean so much to us. Countless lives have been changed, especially ours. Though we’ve had the opportunity to influence many, our focus remains for the One," said Lake.
