Lauded as a “live-wire” by New York Times’ Pop critic, Jon Caramanica for his stage presence and well-seasoned vocal gymnastics, The Higher Experience video concert not only showcases Gavin’s passionate faith and vast vocal range, but also his preacher-like oratorical skills. This riveting recording boasts an exciting blend of the Pop pageantry of Hillsong United coupled with the fiery Pentecostal fervor of a take-no-prisoners band.
