Rising worship artist Stephen B. Steward and his unmistakable baritone set the tone for this year’s ‘Gospel Goes To Hollywood’ Pre-Oscar Event. On hand to kick off the star-studded soiree, the award-winning singer/songwriter shined as he poured out live renditions of new single ‘Purify My Soul’ and album title track ‘Enter Your Gates’.
Undoubtedly helping usher in a movement of worship, Steward’s showing at the Pre-Oscar event served as one of the night’s most talked about highlights. Joining a growing grove of acclaim the prized crooner has been gifted since news of his long-awaited debut album ENTER YOUR GATES, the event precedes another of Stephen’s much anticipated live performances – “One Night Only” live with Grammy®-nominated singer/songwriter Jonathan Butler. Featuring a special appearance from legendary gospel icon Andraé Crouch, the concert – to be held April 12 from Pasadena’s Ambassador Auditorium – will showcase yet again why Steward continues to beam as a must-hear act for worship music’s freshmen class.
